They are human beings! Show some compassion.

Kieth your comment's gotta be tongue in cheek. No right thinking person could consider compensation lawyers to be part of the human race.

Re illegal immigrants: I don't see what compassion has to do with it. I have no problem with compassion towards immigrants per se. Sending the illegal ones on their way, however, is an act of compassion to the greater legal population.

Yes, well that is the problem with forums, you can't tell if someone is kidding or not. I must get one of those tongue in cheek images, but then we can't upload images on this forum can we.

So what is happening with all the other tower blocks that are death traps ?....halve there been any emergency building regulations ? what about the enquiry ? what actions are local councils implementing ?.......why are the MM quiet ? and on and on .

I don't know how your Crown Prosecutors would view it, but under US law any of those residents could be held as material witnesses at least until their statements has been taken and it was determined if they had relevant testimony for a Grand Jury and until it was determined if charges should be brought. There would be grounds for concern if potential witnesses might be deported in order to deter testimony harmful to defendants in any resulting criminal case.

These whingy whiney types will grab any loose string to pull on heartstrings to get their own way. Luckily people are waking up although they are spending a long time rubbing their eyes and stretching.

I think the most important thing to learn from this incident is the fact that if there ever was a major shtf situation, "bugging in" can be very dangerous. If other people can't get what you have by simply breaking in & taking it, then they will use other extreme measures, & you can't stop them from burning you out.

I do not see where you get reinforcement for the superiority of bugging out from this incident or discussion.

The people on this forum live in England, not Australia. Their population density and geography is such that bugging out will put you to moving with a wave of refugees strolling the countryside. Everyone that owns a pair of shoes and a plastic bin bag will be on the move.

Everyone bugging out to the ocean will pass everyone bugging out to the interior on the trail by day three.

I think the point is to not put all of your eggs in one basket. A bug in strategy is fine, but we need to remember its almost impossible to set up an impregnable fortress that could resist fire.
