What’S The ***g Point Of The Grenfell Inquiry ?
...asked a member of the public after the inquiry restarted on Monday.
They have a point. Everyone giving evidence is immune from any prosecution resulting from the evidence they give.
Already we have had such gems as
- The architects got the job because they were working nearby.
- The job didn’t go out to tender they were just given the work.
- A low estimate was put in to avoid a tendering process.
- The low estimate meant costs had to be cut and inferior materials chosen.
- The Chief architect did know the building Regs - he had never bothered to read them.
This damning evidence will be noted, but will not result in a prosecution.
So what is the ***ing point ?

that is the point - and what the parents and relations said they wanted ot have
of course now they may wish to have retribution and those responsible swing in the wind and die slowly - - - BUT
you cannot compel a witness to testify against himself ( the Brit version of the 5th but different sort of) and so if you say they are going to prosecute then the witness can refuse to appear
which I have seen done - in a GMC case - Mr X said he was going to take the 5th and I said to the parent of teh accuse young doctor - "she is off the hook your daughter that is!"
and she said no we have been told the charade continues
(but without Mr X)

no lazier and more grasping
it was the Kensington council that shut up shop on the first friday and told the burnt out dispossessed:
we are off for the week end !
the leader also held a meeting at tax payers expense on how to minimise their own personal liability....
