Change That's funny, given some of your posts are blatant examples of attempted blame deflection.
I think your concern for former colleagues "doing a good job" is somewhat misplaced when there are residents who are dead, critically injured, grieving, homeless and dispossessed.
When a parent had to chose to throw their child from the window of a burning building.
It is very likely that someone, somewhere, did not do a good job. Maybe many peop,e did not do a good job. It's as irresponsible to assert that people are blameless before an inquiry as it is to apportion blame before the inquiry.
At the moment, people's main concern is for those people, and for the emergency services who risk their lives in such situations. And rightly so.
This incident gives sufficient cause for people to wonder whether good work has indeed been done all round, and there will be inquiries into that. Again, rightly so.
In a situations such as this it is absolutely legitimate for people to put challenging questions to those with professional responsibilities.
And it is very, very distasteful to dismiss people's concerns about being adequately rehoused, especially when other posters have pointed out that in their direct experience in similar situations, things do not always proceed as they should. It is frankly sickening to be anything but sympathetic in this situation. These people are traumatized and scared at the moment. With indisputably good reason. I cannot imagine their fear and anguish at the moment. Of course they are going to be scared that they will be let down, again. Have some sympathy and compassion.
for everyone affected
for everyone who has ever gone through something similar
for everyone who is scared today, and tonight
for the firefighters who risk their lives
for the ambulance crews, policemen and NHS personnel at the frontline
for the charities, community organizations, mosques and churches helping people as best they can
