At least 12 people died in a huge fire at the Grenfell Tower, a residential high-rise in West London on Wednesday morning, but authorities fear the number of casualties may grow as works are still in progress in the area and police have given up hopes of finding any more survivors.

Jun 15th, 2017 - 03:31 am - Link - Report abuse -8And that picture encapsulates the current state of affairs of the UK.
Jun 15th, 2017 - 03:47 am - Link - Report abuse -7Simply because it is of interest to the British people in South America and it is a major news story. Hepatia you are nothing more than a pathetic troll. Your name isn't Raimundo is it?
Jun 15th, 2017 - 03:48 am - Link - Report abuse +3Such tragic loss of life and typically the Argie trolls are gloating, just shows you what the Argies are like, despicable, I have no words strong enough on here to describe the feelings I have for Hepatia and AustrOll

Jun 15th, 2017 - 07:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0What an inane commentary! the current state of affairs of the UK? Just what do YOU believe them to be?
Despicable comments indeed from Austroll.
Jun 15th, 2017 - 10:04 am - Link - Report abuse +6Unfortunately matched by equally despicable comments from UK trolls when Argentines suffer.
golfcronie on the news that thousands of homes in BA province were flooded and 20,000 people displaced:
Is this Gods revenge for not paying their debts? Where is the Pope when you need him?
I hope the Argie swimmers are taking advantage of all the water in BA for practice.

Two sides of the same coin.
There are always people who hate themselves so much they only get pleasure out of other people's misery; nationality is not a factor.
Jun 15th, 2017 - 10:13 am - Link - Report abuse +2Thing is about Nostrils and Hepatitis, they are both absolutely predictable. Pathetic little trolls. The other sicko will be along in a moment.

Jun 15th, 2017 - 05:58 pm - Link - Report abuse +3Despite your warped notion of your own intelligence, tell me, when are they are going to release you from the psychiatric ward ? in 25 years ?
@AustollPrikelus
your comments are the product of someone who should probably be Hepatia's room mate.
Hepatitis will be returned to her padded cell within 23 minutes.
Jun 15th, 2017 - 07:28 pm - Link - Report abuse +2I don't mind the trolls when they are entertaining, but Hepatia is tedious and so are all the replies to her robo-posts. It would be much better if everyone ignored her. This story was on the front page of several US news sites, why wouldn't it be reported here?
Jun 16th, 2017 - 11:16 am - Link - Report abuse +1I agree with MerryEnglander, there are far too many people on both sides celebrating other people's suffering. I just hope the UK government learns some lessons from this disaster and prevents it from happening again, as it appears the fire safety measures were extremely inadequate.
