Today’s papers are getting excited because the police think Kensington & Chelsea council and the tenant management association for Grenfell Tower ‘may have’ gone somewhere down the road to corporate manslaughter But there’s a long way to go, and a lot of cash to go into the pockets of the legal profession, before ‘may have’ gets close to ‘guilty’. Especially if the council was doing nothing different from dozens of other councils around the country.
Strange that we’re hearing nothing about the EU regulations, which put thermal cladding on the tower block in the first place, and proceedings against the manufacturer of the dodgy fridge, which set the building on fire.
Further, this is corporate manslaughter the police are talking about, which is punishable only by a fine, which just involves moving taxpayers‘ cash from one public pocket to another. So what we have now is just some aimless puff.
