This is not worse than death,this is for your safety! Get a grip and just rent a flat
I hear the sound of a Raac Tenant’sUnion being formed .
😢 scumbags Councils, money grabbing schemes when they've realised people paid their mortgage then they thought that now people are unsafe. Let's make them safe again isn't?
Have they setup a go fund me?
Blessings and compensation for this couple and all affected by this issue.
The romans worked out how to make concrete last thousands of years. What society are we
#grenfell 💚🕊💚
Council ahould rebuild ZERO cost to home owner. Home owners should not pay a penny. Its not the home owners fault.
At least they are getting plenty to eat
The UK should give these folks homes comparable to the homes they’re losing!
they lose, that's fair
no idea what they said
The way he was crying that got to me tories destroyed the whole country top till bottom and now labour has huge issues to face and fix
It is a land grab under the guise of a defect that they created.
Councils need reigning back. They are an unwanted blight on the UK. Unfortunately Labour want to give them even more powers
Did she say 12000 thousand pounds for her flat were she from come to Bradford it's dead cheap for flats and it's bit cheaper than your area I guess.
Worse than deaf what people fail to understand🌍
Silly
UK? Scotland
The council and the builders should be sued. They should get legal aid to fight for their rights.
Time for the courts and judges to hold councils and governments to account here! A serious miscarriage of justice these people have been sold a death trap and need full compensation
Jeeps what a nightmare. 🙁
Mike Graham from talk tv knows how to grow concrete.
Devastating
When People Will Build Houses, The Purpose Should Be a Necessity, Not to Make Profits Poverty will be completely eradicated, a Couple will no longer work just for the profits of some Organized Cartels on the backs of the Workers. working-class
Check out the concrete crisis in donegal Ireland. Thousands of houses destroyed with mica
What a "Kick" in the teeth for these poor people etc………….lets hope ALL Compo is at a "decent" level etc.what they deserve/worth………….but some how I doubt they,ll get the full amount etc……..lets wait/hope and see………keeping fingers crossed for them. x x x x
Why’s No one laughing at him crying 😂😂😂buckled
Can't they put a caravan on it
I don't believe them. They want the land for development.
They should get compensation! Someone has approved these buildings in the past!
Interesting how many hospitals are routinely expecting people to receive medical treatment within buildings that face the same risks. Seems like it's more about wanting the land.
Prefab …. 🤔
Unmortgageable ✅

Sh#t Tier Councillor's 💩
Outragous
Daylight Robbery!!!! Pay them a fair house price!
