Yeah, it's a pretty terrible article that just plays up blaming "NEOLIBERALISM UNCHAINED" and Capitalism for wrecking what they feel would be the just and righteous state of the UK housing market.
This may or may not be all well and good, but there is only the most tenuous of connections to the actual policies that are connected to the fire, specifically: The richest borough spent money fighting global warming through insulation, reducing their energy bills, and making the poor people's housing look good in the process (but without paying sufficient attention to its fire safety rating). THE MONSTERS. CAPITALISM KILLS.
(Play up the "making it look good!!" and the "not paying sufficient attention to safety" angles, whilst totally ignoring the use of this material in other places, and general UK-wide building standards which just shrug off the idea of sprinklers.)
