    any other illegal landlord would get done if their place burned down with the tenants inside.

    They should also be removed from any housing list.

    The whole point of social housing is you're given it at subsidised rent because you can't afford housing otherwise, and then these ****s go and rent it out at probably double what they pay.

    The amnesty for sub-letting landlords is an utter disgrace and makes a mockery of the law. However, the real point of it is that the authorities a/ need to know how many people were in the flats and b/ know that any attempt to prosecute anyone at all who appears to be any sort of a resident of Grenfell (even if they were actually illegally sub-letting) will be portrayed as an act of barbarism by the left, will be met with howls of outrage and will be cynically exploited for political gain.

    I can't work out how it works though. Won't they have to pay to live somewhere else?
    or do they just sneak into a family members place and stay there and get free monies.

    they have bottled out of prosecuting anyone solely because of the left have turned an absolute tragedy into a political hot potato.

    Someone letting out one of those flats could probably rent somewhere outside of london and make a nice profit. Or they could be living with family members like you said.

    Basically, yes. They know that prosecuting some Pakistani bloke who's illegally sublet his flat to a dangerous and unsafe number of people who may well not even be legal migrants will be represented as racist persecution of a 'victim' and yet more evidence of how evil and racist the authorities are. You have to remember that the Labour Party is now run by actual Bolsheviks who see any possibility of civil unrest or disruption as an opportunity to seek power. That is how they think.

    It is a political scandal, though. After 1666 London became pretty focused on constructing buildings out of non-flammable materials. Now this happens. Whether it was penny-pinching, as some claim, trying to have better insulation for C02 targets, as others claim, or trying to keep residents warm, as other others claim, is worth finding out tbf.

    If Labour are making hay out of this they should be careful though, having just turfed the inhabitants of three blocks in Camden out on the street.
