How the hell didn't they get away without having a sprinkler system?
That had to violate fire code.

If that's true you will have a hard time finding anyone liable.
Dumb? Yes
Guilty? No

From what I've seen, the only people in that building were immigrants. How does that happen? I don't quite get it. Don't any "native" Britons live in London?

I can not recall exactly were I heard it , perhaps on RT news. The residents were told to stay in their flats in case of fire as the fire could not spread internally. I believe it was the cladding that spread the fire as they were plastic. so the fire raced up the tower filling it with smoke inside. They had just spent 10 million pounds refurbishing the block. But no fire protection refurbished?

There where somes brits.
But yes alot of the poorest people in londom are immigrants as the government shops them in by the boat load then dumps them on local councils who dont have the resources to deal with them, so they end up in basically slums.

Well this is going to be use as an excuse for those that have hidden agendas to start some problems in the city.
I will not be surprised if the find the fire incident as an excuse to start riots.

Did any of the these people have insurance, or are the expecting everyone else to pay for their central London life and council housing?
While I know this is a tragedy and possibly avoidable, there are questions to answer as to why there were so many people in these flats. There are plenty of empty flats outside London. These people demanding help would probably refuse help elsewhere. They want to stay in London, even if they don't come from London.

What about the local religious centers taking these folks in?
