Some 100 percent of the samples that the UK government has tested from the 75 tower blocks are not standard and not fire-resistant, says an analyst.

“It is absolute national disgrace and scandal” that successive ministers have never given importance to the matter of safety of houses and ignored to act based on the recommendations urged by members of parliaments in the United Kingdom, Dan Glazebrook said.

Ministers of the British government have refused to do anything on the issue, therefore, they are “criminally culpable for this massacre” in Grenfell Tower in London, he said.

Dan Glazebrook is a journalist and political writer from Oxford.
