Why arent they being deported?

Apparently there is even an amnesty for those who's name is on the rent book but didn't actually live there because they sublet their flats at great profit

There is a fairly sensible reason for this sort of amnisty in these cases.

The need to know exactly who was in the building and likely died is more than the need to punish those who may have broken the T&C of their tenancy agreement.
For one thing the coroner and any enquiry needs to know who was in the building and who any remains were likely to have been, and for another there is a need to try and give the families of those who may have died some closure (and if the police have a body they can't ID it can mean the police spend that much more time and money trying to ID it when they could have finished with it months/years earlier)..

Prosecute anyone who lied about living there to gain financially after the fact, but not those who may have done things like had their partner living with them undeclared, or even sublet.

I was questioning the £11,000 additional food budget when food was already provided (a hotel restaurant is still a restaurant right?).

Hotels don't have to be like 4 or 5 star Radisson thiugh surely ?

Apparently there is even an amnesty for those who's name is on the rent book but didn't actually live there because they sublet their flats at great profit

All quite reasonable points, though given the scale of the tragedy and the battering they were taking from the media they don't really want to expose themselves to yet another mauling in the press. Remember there are plenty of locals who believe fake news reports about there being hundreds more people in the tower and a big conspiracy to cover it up etc...

If they'd put them up in hotels further away then there would be outcries of "social cleansing" from the usual rent a mob types. It is one of the most expensive areas of London and the tragedy did expose how much of a farce council housing in these prime locations is but it isn't really the sort of event where the government can necessarily follow usual rules when discovering that someone has been in the country illegally or has been subletting as it would create so many negative headlines. Rehousing them has been a bit of a problem as some of them are seemingly turning down offers of accommodation.

Of course, in spite of all the public money spent in response to the tragedy the likes of "Stormzy" can still get up on stage at the brit awards, pretend that nothing has been done and say:

"Yo Theresa May, where iz da money for Greenfell"

That is inspite of plenty of money having already been spent and the response being to essentially bend over backwards to try and help both the genuine victims of the tragedy and seemingly plenty more people with loose connections to it + the odd chancer/fraudster too.

For example, one of the prominent Greenfell campaigners didn't even live in the block but has managed to get some free stuff thanks to living nearby - he still makes use of his council flat but also has his own 4 star hotel room courtesy of the tax payer + a food allowance.

Locals also said they saw Delaney frequently and did not know he had left.

People who live in the estates next to the tower, which was ablaze in June last year, are able to live in emergency accommodation and will be first in line for rehousing assistance when they want to move.

They are also permitted to have up to £300 per week for food - if the emergency accommodation cannot provide it or they prefer their own - but this is not for those who have returned to their properties or have moved somewhere new.

It is understood Delaney has been offered help to find a new place to live by the council, but rejected the assistance.

The campaigner says the offer was declined because he would need to move back to his home or somewhere else in the meantime before he could go to a permanent address.

Delaney told the Sunday Times: 'I have only been paid amounts to which I am entitled.'

The campaigner said that there 'have been times I have pulled all-nighters here because I've been working on stuff.'

So he pops back to a flat that isn't in the block and is still perfectly fine to live in, sometimes stays there to work on stuff and/or meet people but the tax payers are still paying £120 a night for his hotel room and up to £300 a week in the form of food allowance.

So he has is own place and yet is being put up in a hotel at the tax-payer's expense and gets £300 per week food allowance? How can the people in government responsible for this not see that these parasites are taking the ****?
