Just Another Trash-fire

Instead of taking the advice of the Conservative candidate for mayor of London, and utilising their residential liberty as a chance to save for a mortgage, the newly homeless residents of a London high-rise have done nothing but complain. Following the Grenfell disaster in June 2017, the Government pledged to remove dangerous cladding by June 2020; that pledge has been fulfilled after the usual Johnsonian manner, thanks to the miserly attitude of leaseholders. Owing to vital considerations of slumlord protection, leaseholders are expected to cough up tens of thousands in order to make up the shortfall between what safer cladding costs and what landlords and Her Majesty's Government feel inclined to contribute towards the safety of expendables. It appears that many tenants are shirking their duty in this regard, despite the useful advice available from the Richard Desmond Charity helpline.
