Having emergency lights and so on. Proper signs etc. There weren't even
any floor numbers on it. Great help to the rescue services - not.

If those were missing, I'm sure the enquiry will tell us.

It was mentioned by a fireman on TV.


Missing or, not working?

But yes. Let's hope any enquiry is comprehensive and findings acted on.
Sad it has taken a disaster of this magnitude for some to realise building
regs etc aren't just red tape to annoy people.


It's a see-saw. There are some, I've been told, who are fed up with red
tape from un-elected bureaucrats (of which there as just as many in the
UK,


there are, but at least there is the possibility to change them & their
laws.


It's easier to do that in Brussels than Westminster. Apart from anything
else you can recruit the help of lots of like-minded EU states to pursue
a common policy aim.

And they don't insist we hand over billions of pounds every year, with
silly excuses to up the bill greatly every so often.


Everyone will soon find out that the cost of being a member is less than
the cost of leaving. None of the sums mentioned include the benefit of
being in the single market, or the economies of scale of not having to
reproduce various EU entities with home grown ones.

And that's not even counting the "divorce lump sum".
