Total agreement with your views, but in this case external fire escapes wouldn't have helped, the fire spread up the outside of the building. We need to look at the politics involved also, May had a private visit to the site today, and met none of the survivers, what does that tell us? her party are partly responsible for this, voting against building regs and fire regs, most of her MPs are property owners who rent out housing, and don't want the extra costs of safety etc.......just my views
