Twin Towers WTC v Grenfell Tower

[El Kabong]

I donated some money into a ladys bucket at Paddington station today which is just down the road, she said it was dodgy gas that might have somehow started it off but the cladding used is pure criminal.
If they would have spend just £2 more they would have bought the fire resistant cladding instead of the cheaper flammable stuff they used.

People are still sleeping in their cars over a week on and some were given £10 a night to "help them out in the short term"? WTF

It's fucking unbelievable whats happened to these people.

So I know that these folks weren't the best off to start with but did they not have Renter's Insurance? Typically that covers "Loss of Use" which is certainly covered in the case of a fire. Granted that's not for like extended stays in other places, but it's enough to get you to a new place.....probably hard in such a big city, but typically actuaries take that into account with premium prices and the like.

Wow.

What now? Is it audacious to ask if they had insurance?

Yes remember the left wants us all to work harder as we are supporting over 50 other people of all nationalities.

I thought @Beanz was a huge fan of the NHS but apparently property insurance is just to bourgeois for him

It does not work like that in the UK. In council housing you do not own the property and while you may insure your home for contents, fire and theft the companies will do all they can to avoid paying out anything but the minimum and the rates for covering something like re-homing would probably be astronomical.

Hmmm here I had little trouble collecting money for water damage. Got a new floor in my basement fully paid for. Then the bastards waited a while and dropped me. That was over 10 years without a claim. I then had trouble being accepted by a new place. So you pay not to use it, bastards.

contents ARE property and if you have renters insurance it pays for loss of use ergo my asking "Do they have insurance? "


WOW WOW WOW WOW

I think all hard working people have house insurance , so they will be fine.
Once the insurance companies get their finger out and pay them.
