    So like, two weeks later the teachers haven't noticed children are missing from class? What in the world is going on over there? We have text alerts within minutes of missing children.

    Well one of the problems with is who do you text? Because so many families died together, if you do not get a reply, is it the parents dead, the child dead, have the people rehoused out of the borough. Certainly it is a mess, and the authorities refuse to say someone is dead until the bodies are identified.

    You don't understand. We ALL get a text, when a child goes missing. It's called an Amber Alert, after the missing girl who's case lead to the passing of the bill. We are keeping track of all our little ones. It's amazing to me that you suggest there are missing children that the public is not even aware of. What is your government doing, if it can't sort out that hundreds of people died or are missing?

    The police has made another statement which gives more information. The current number is only up one to 80.

    Were all people at home when fire broke out or were some outside and for example being somewhere in holiday and still do not know that their home burnt and so didn't sent message to authorities etc.?
    Also ... was maybe at other persons a visitor who does not live in the house when fire broke out?

    Yeah, it has been a couple of weeks now, and they should have this sorted out.

    I don't know much about this place, but maybe it was a type of place where squatters and homeless people go? In that case, it would be more understandable that they don't know exactly how many or who died.

    Grenfell Tower was council housing. Hence those there ought to be those who the council had seen and decided warranted being offered social housing. Their care and safety was a responsibility of their landlord the council. I think Mandalus put in the main difficulties in post 180 forum.com/index.php?threads/massive-fire-in-london.507392/page-9#post-1067680653 There could also possibly be people sub letting and more people being in rooms than ought to have been as well of course as visitors. There has even been suggestions that people may have had a lot of people in celebrating Ramadan.

    Here is another article on different people's attempts to get the numbers sorted

    https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...-volunteers-help-residents-compile-death-toll

    As to
    if that was in response to the post above it, well it will take time. These enquiries always do but I think the police are doing a criminal inquiry separately though even they may need to take into consideration these enquiries. However the first suggestion that the enquiry be limited
    https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...quiry-could-be-too-narrow-jeremy-corbyn-warns

    has obviously come under sharp criticism. Such an enquiry would not even look at cost cutting which might have been a factor. The council's chief executive has at last resigned

    https://www.theguardian.com/comment...n-view-on-grenfell-tower-more-heads-must-roll

    When things of this magnitude happen in the UK it is very common for them to take decades to get sorted out. The promise at the beginning of this one was that it would not be so.

    Specialist taskforce to take over Kensington and Chelsea council in wake of Grenfell backlash

    Still no connection with terrorism or terrorists living in the flats!

    All visible signs of bodies have now been removed from the building but they still do not know how many people perished.

    https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...er-police-make-87-recoveries-of-human-remains

    The Government has announced a 12 month immigration amnesty. There will be no immigration checks on those who come forward with information or who need help. ( or so they say!)

    Well one year on and rather than being proved right, terrorists were not in that Tower. This often happens on this forum with right winger saying I will be proven right and of course they never are but keep maintaining their repugnant message.

    And still no links to terrorism! Of course no comment from Silver Surfer on the innocent people who died that he maligned with his conspiracy theories and xenophobia!

    Good to know that the terrorists advocates were very small particularly as Muslims who were up due to Ramadan were actively involved in saving lives.

    Wow! What do they say about haters always hating. You are justifying perpetrating hate against people who were dying, were losing loved ones and saving others in Grenfell due to 3 cases of fraud by people who like those spreading fake news tried to benefit from the tragedy.....This sickness is worse than I thought.

    They are only sad that they were proved wrong about the cause of the fire! Sad, pathetic little haters, so scared of anything not the same as them!

    I was working near Grenfell Tower last week, first time I've returned to the area since this fire...
    What I want to know is, what the **** does this have to do with Islam?
