One user-comment at the bottom of that, so far.

I LIVED AND WORKED I EUROPE FOR 20 YEARS IN THE CEE I AM 69 YEARS OLD I AM THE FIRST GENERATION NOT TO GO TO WAR IN EUROPE MUCH TO THE DISMAY OF QUEEN VICTORIAS GRANDCHILDREN AND THE ARMS MANUFACTURES ‘

:facepalm:

I really don't know what to say to that.

Also: Funny Fake News

Queen Victoria's grandchildren (George V, Wilhelm II, etc) are obviously still upset about that lack of war and have a riveting new idea for us all. It's called a "World War", you'll love it. The trial period starts in eight days, during an Austrian's trip to Sarajevo which leads to a hilarious misunderstanding....

Five highrise appartment buildings (the Chalcots Estate buildings) in London have been evacuated. About 800 people had to leave their homes. It was found out that they use the same exterior cladding as the Grenfell tower. The cladding will be stripped from the building, after which the residents will be able to return home.

Meanwhile, the UK police is considering opening a criminal investigation into the Grenfell fire. According to the police, a few, as of yet unnamed contractors are under investigation. The material used for cladding the outside has not passed a single firesafety test, and the material used is even banned in Germany and the US.

So far, 79 dead have been confirmed. It is assumed that the real death toll is much higher. This will be hard to confirm though, or to even to make any realistic estimates will be tough, because the UK does not have an official population register. The government has called upon survivors, to get any clue about missing friends and family members.
It's estimated there were between 500 and 600 people living in the complex. 300 survivors have been confirmed. It is unknown how many visitors (for Ramadan), or how many illegals were staying in the building. Most of the residents were of foreign origin. The government has promised an amnesty for illegal occupants if they report themselves.

By now, 34 highrise buildings, spread over 17 districts have been identified as being not fire safe. What was a few hundred evacuees earlier today, has now risen to a few thousand people. It's not a forced evacuation though, it's just a strong recommendation. 87 people refused to leave their homes. There's some reports that there's some trouble with re-housing people into temporary accomodation. I saw an old lady complain on our national news that there was no place for her to go because she has a dog. Apparently pets aren't allowed in the temporary accommodations. "What should I do?" She asks. "Should I let my dog be put down?"
My newspaper quoted another evacuee. He's not too happy with it all. "I have a young daughter, a cat, a wife and a job. They told me it is going to take four to six weeks. Knowing our district's bureaucracy that means it will take four to six months".
British authorities have said that they are going to test about 600 flats for fire safety in the coming weeks.

I can see the no pets thing become a real problem. Don't know where the people are being re-housed. I suspect it's bed and breakfasts and hotels? Anyone from the UK know some more about that? People are never going to abandon their poor cats and dogs. I can see city councils putting emergency regulations in place forcing whatever places are used for the rehousing to temporarily cancel their no pet policies.
