in regards to what dany cotton just said, in light of the report, i think dany cotton should take a lesson learnt from the report‘s recommendations and see that there has been errors in the way the night‘s planning was executed. i think there are lessons to be learned because there are still people living in high—rise buildings who actually need help. it is important that lfb takes lessons learned from this report and not see it as points to defend themselves from. i'm going to pause there, i‘m so sorry, we are coming to the end of the programme andi coming to the end of the programme and i want to end our programme by hearing from this. at that moment, we felt like our hearts had broken. the most wise and eloquent girl i ever knew. isaac made us very happy. he was my spitting image. he was my little man. there is a gaping hole in our hearts that can never be filled and it hurts. they were beautiful, glorious wonderful years, filled with happiness, love and laughter. i adored her. i wanted to hug my dad, hold him, feel my dad, hold my dad. there will be two empty chairs on the tabl

i don't think dany cotton at london fire. i don't think dany cotto n ca n at london fire. i don't think dany cotton can ever come back from the comments that she made at the inquiry about how she wouldn't change a thing. london deserves better, quite frankly, and so to the victims of the fire, and so do the firefighters themselves, because, you know, we also have to consider the fact that london fire brigade is an employer, and it needs to be looking after its employees, and at the moment it's not. it has failed them horribly. unfortunately for us, them horribly. unfortunately for us, the consequence of them failing their employees is death, given high criticaljob their employees is death, given high critical job those their employees is death, given high criticaljob those employees undertake. so if any service needs to be looked after, it is the front line emergency services, because we will all be very grateful for that fa ct if will all be very grateful for that fact if and when we ever come to need the use of any of them. you wa nt need the use of any of them. you want

danny carlton —— dany cotton said there was nothing she would change that night but everyone can see what was wrong that night. her position is untenable. in terms of the families and survivors, will they be happy with this report? there was scepticism that perhaps it would not deliver. i am not sure that everyone has had an opportunity to actually read or digest of the report. i certainly have not had the time because of all the stuff that has gone on over the last 48 hours. i will stand here and see to you that i believe the people i represent, given the time, will see the fairness and strength of the report and will hopefully be satisfied. what we are definitely optimistic about is that the judge has taken quite a hard line in phase one and, you know, the fact he has condemned that the building was noncompliant definitely sets the tone for phase two. organisations highlighted in phase two needs to be worried. if he ta kes phase two needs to be worried. if he takes the same stance with them as with the london fire brigade, those people responsible for covering the building and flam
