That's not where the focus is, and you're ignoring the people bringing up the same point. Daily Mail readers obviously rely on big pictures to tell the story, and instead of the just titling the article 'Faulty fridge thought to be cause of fire' and maybe useful pictures of possible reasons to why it might do that

As above, BIG pictures of the guy, when it is the FRIDGE that is the focus.

Probably the 'who earnt the most money throught shady reporting' award.

What do you want them to print, a picture of a fridge?

Akala spitting some truth once again!

Ooohhhh ken Livingston you absolute ***

Making a point on sky news the law does not make him responsible for the disaster

He was mayor when decisions were being made regarding building refits

A lot of very worried people at the minute, I think a lot of phone calls to solicitors this week

More relevant than a picture of a victim who likely doesn't want his information published for millions to read.

That flat is very nicely done, was not expecting them to be done to that standard.

Of course they will. Whatever happened to that fatty who squandered all of BHS' pension money? Did he pay it back?

He did in the end, after they threatened to de-knight him.

These people are the scum of society and put money above everything else. When the revolution comes, we need to round them up and have a good ol' head chopping off session

From a quick read here, I can't fathom where you get the idea that the ex Tory Government advisor Philip Green has paid back that which is due ,in any shape or form!

Apologies to drop this in a thread about a tragedy in a block of flats (not dissimilar to ones I grew up in) however, people saying "don't politicise disaster" seem to have a specific agenda regarding which disasters are and are not political!

Quite. The media have been portraying the building as part of a typical sink estate; populated by asylum seekers, immigrants and other pariahs of the state!

The Daily Mail won newspaper of the year at the Press Awards, so it is doing something right.

If true that is beyond a joke.

They were recently banned as a citable source on wikileaks due to the shocking inaccuracy in their reporting.

It's up there with The Sun in terms of gutter media.

Edit: The Sun has previously won lots of awards at the same awards ceremony.

MUST BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT

Thanks for clarifying that bit. What about the first name?

Is the fact that they weren't called something easier for you to pronounce relevant ?

Yeah. I'd like to know how to pronounce the name of a potential victim. Otherwise why name them?
