Re: Thursday 15th June 2017
Good morfternoon.
When did the bolded bit suddenly enter her calculations? She's not mentioned it before.The Conservatives and the DUP have been holding back their expected announcement of a minority government deal due to the tragic events in west London. Theresa May also wants time for talks with Sinn Féin and other Northern Ireland parties because of potential implications for power-sharing in Stormont. She is expected to meet parties today at Downing Street. (Politics Live, Guardian - my emphasis)

After seeing that Johnson at the London Assembly clip my blood is boiling.
It's early on but I can imagine a number of local government employees have been lined up to be pushed under the bus.

From the Graun business live blogRetail sales volumes across the UK plunged by 1.2% in May as inflation bites deeper into household budgets. This is a deeper fall than the 0.8% decline expected, and will fuel worries that the UK economy is faltering.

Re: Thursday 15th June 2017
I don't believe that the press didn't get a feel for the reception that Theresa May got (unless there was a 10 mile exclusion zone). Why aren't they reporting it? From what little information that's trickling through, she didn't meet anyone who wasn't part of "officialdom". Mind you, if I were affected by the Grenfell House catastrophe, the last thing I'd want would be Theresa May.

the Tories’ real problem was that they went into this election entirely bereft of their usual Unique Selling Point. The Conservatives were not conservative. They were not a safe pair of hands. That normal vibe the Tories exude of ‘you don’t need to love us, but at least we can hold stuff together’ was missing the entire last part. They were not, in a nutshell, a safe and lazy vote for the risk-averse. Nobody was. And thus, in an election with only mad, risky shit on offer, there was simply no particular reason for the electorate to choose the particular mad, risky shit that was wearing a blue rosette.

Re: Thursday 15th June 2017
Does anyone here know how effective as insulation the cladding stuff involved is? I keep hearing that, as a first-mention, it was used for cosmetic purposes and then "insulation" is always mentioned second. What I'm trying to get at is whether or not its effectivness as insulation is merely incidental to its cosmetic "value". (Insulation being of the greater benefit to residents whereas the cosmetic bit may well have been mainly for the benefit of non-residents.) Of course, I'm not trying to justify the use of crap materials if they are effective as insulation, so I hope at least somebody gets my drift . . .

Re: Thursday 15th June 2017
Interesting -
And here is the key takeaway.
Theresa May will try to pass the Queen’s speech even if her deal with the DUP has not by then been finalised, a Tory source has revealed. May is assuming that the DUP will not vote against the Queen’s speech, even if it does not, as she hopes, vote in favour. That is almost certainly a sound assumption (because of what the DUP has said about not wanting the Sinn Fein-supporting Jeremy Corbyn to become prime minister.) But it does suggest that a Tory/DUP deal is less of a certainty than many people assumed, and the source would not rule out May trying to run a minority government without a formal deal with the DUP.
I will post more from the briefing soon. (Politics Live, Guardian)

There's been a flurry of activity in the Parents and Teachers for Excellent in the last few days. This lot want a 'knowledge-rich curriculum' which is fine as far as it goes but I do wonder who is stopping that happening.
And for an organisation that professes to be grassroots, installing Roger Scruton as their president seems to be a bit of an odd move.Especially when he comes out with risible self-pitying tosh like this.

Trouble is that having pushed for academies to have autonomy, most secondary schools can now ignore it.
It's actually pretty hilarious to see the bind that the right have got into on this one.

How about re-writing the National Curriculum?One day, I trust, Gove will be back in place as education secretary, which is the post that the country needs him to fill. Meanwhile it is for the rest of us, parents and teachers especially, to bring back knowledge to the classroom. Some of us have got together to establish Parents and Teachers for Excellence, which is designed to discombobulate the Blob. Please join us.

Apologies, my understanding of what the material was primarily used for is likely wrong then. The building is one of many in the UK built in the 1970's. The buildings are (were) safe, individual flats protected from fires started in another flat, fire doors worked, people were safe enough if they kept inside until the fire was extinguished. The exteriors of these buildings weren't pretty.AngryAsWell wrote:The manufacturers are Celotex, one of (if not the) main producers of thermal insulation boards so its main use would be insulation.PorFavor wrote:Does anyone here know how effective as insulation the cladding stuff involved is?

Oh, and the railing against the University of London got tiresome years ago. When you have an organisation that has the wondrous thing that is the Warburg Library, there isn't that much evidence of them being against knowledge.
In my narrow bit of academia, knowledge and deep learning seems to be thriving. Seminar series galore all year round (term time only of course) on every conceivable aspect - philosophy, literature, art, history etc etc.

Agree, but the main use of Celotex products is insulation, the fact they "prettied them up" for aesthetic reasons is secondary. As this is not the first fire where this cladding has been used (and blamed for) I suspect Celotex are going to have some hard questions to answer.citizenJA wrote:Apologies, my understanding of what the material was primarily used for is likely wrong then.
