Re: Lockup/ lockdown. How to end it?
There are risks everywhere. Some people are afraid to fly, yet the journey to the airport is more dangerous. Sitting in the middle of a wide open space, you could get struck by lightning or a meteor. We like to assume our homes are safe, bu9t they can catch fire, in some areas there could be an earthquake or tornado, and in this instance there was major structural weakness. If you've never heard of Ronan Point, go look that one up.

OFSO, as an aside, we had a presentation by a USAF lt col who had been based in Moscow, what he told us was like this at Ronan Point
He said you could look from the ceiling joint of one apartment into the floor of the next.construction defects (failure to build as designed) had left unfilled gaps between floors and walls throughout, hidden only by skirting boards and ceiling paper

Hopefully this thread has returned to the topic and there will be no more "deliberate posting in the wrong thread" which I am informed is almost a Capital Offence meriting a compulsory 'holiday' for the perpetrators?
So getting away from the structural defects in UK tower blocks, here is an image to warm the cockles of your hearts viz. pictures of Ernst Stavro Blofeld and the other Klaus Schwab crittur who presents a genuine threat to the remains of the World as we know it;
