As always, the liberterians who hate government interference in people's lives are only interested in the removal of 'interference' that might cost the very rich a few quid. |  |

we need to know if it's a case of too little regulation or the failure of the regulation that is in place. the buildings regs have clearly gone horrendously wrong, but understanding why is going to be complex. the 2nd part of the grenfell enquiry is desperately needed. |  |
| And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show |

Yes, that is needed but some things are already clear as the article shows. The switch from a 'prescriptive' rulebook to a 'functional' one chief amongst them. It also looks likely that the government chose not to enforce existing rules stringently, given that it decided to immediately post-Grenfell.
The timing of the fire in Bolton this weekend merely highlights the lack of urgency in addressing many of these issues. How many more aspects of the state could be better managed were it not for Brexit? |  |

yes I agree. the switch from prescriptive to functional probably made sense at a time when technology was changing rapidly (new materials) and building performance standards were also changing radically (energy efficiency etc). there has been a monumental failure - but understanding why those decisions were made and why the risks were not identified is going to be complex. | |
