HAVE
GOVT MINISTERS PUT A ‘D-NOTICE’ GAG ON REAL #GRENFELLDEATH TOLL?
16
June, 2017
This
morning, Grime artist Saskilla told the BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire
programme that he had been told personally by one of the firefighters
at Grenfell Tower that around two hundred bodies had already been
identified at the scene of the terrifying blaze.
The
presenter attempted to pour water on the figure, but the musician
insisted it was what he was told in person by the firefighter.
Last
night, music star Lily Allen was pulled from an appearance on the
BBC’s Newsnightafter making similar comments and accusing the
government of trying to ‘micromanage people’s grieving’:
Ms
Allen was pilloried in the media. The confirmed death toll has
increased incrementally since the fire and today rose to thirty.
At
the same time, multiple sources told the SKWAWKBOX that the
government has placed a ‘D-notice’ (now properly named a
‘DSMA-notice’ and sometimes called a ‘DA Notice’) on the real
number of deaths in the blaze:
In
effect, although voluntary, this amounts to a gag on
the mainstream media – and note
that it is applied for for reasons of national security only.
The SKWAWKBOX telephoned
the Home Office press office to ask directly whether this was true.
To say that the question caused consternation at the other end of the
line would not be an overstatement.
The
first comment, in a voice that rose at least half an octave, was
‘Where
did you get that information?‘,
followed by a request for the question by email, even though the
SKWAWKBOX editor emphasised that ‘Have you issued a D-notice’ is
a verystraightforward,
‘yes/no’ question.
The question has been
submitted by email but no response has been provided yet, in spite of
a repeat call to the Home Office to advise that publication was
imminent.
Since the first call,
further people have contacted this blog with the same assertion. The
Home Office’s official response will be published if/when one is
received.
Reports have also been
received about intimidation of locals to prevent disclosure or
speculation about the true known death toll.
If
it is true that the government has issued a D-notice – and every
instinct is screaming that it is – then the government has placed
a national
security gag
on mainstream news editors to prevent them from disclosing what’s
already known about the number of lives lost at Grenfell Tower.
This
raises a huge question: WHY?.
Is there
a national security aspect to this information that has not yet been
hinted at?
Or
is the Tory government inflating its own party interests
into a national
security issue
in order to control the flow of information that will damage the Tory
government and party,
allowing it to ‘drip-feed’ a slow increase in the number of
confirmed deaths in order to manage public outrage?

Comment from Steve Kenton:
This is very simple
maths......If you have 24 floors with 120, 1 and 2 bedroom
flats.....if 2 persons occupy 1 single bedroom unit on average but
not exclusively (allowing for sofa surfers) then that becomes 240
people.
Add another 2 per 2 bed
unit (on average then), you are now looking at just over 400 people
potentially.
Given that it happened at
1 am that figure won't be much lower due to people sleeping.
Add the dead and injured
to those already out and take that away from around 400 and there's
your true figure.....right now there are 30 dead, 76 injured
and 75 missing.......
Where are the rest,
because that building had way more than 181 people residing in it.

This
afternoon survivers, family and friends of victims marched from
Grenfell Tower to Kensington Town Hall, to demand action from the
council.
Protesters
were angry that 3 days on from the tragedy, council officers have not
made adequate public commitments to help the residents. They are also
angry, not one council employee has offered help to the army of
volunteers, for the distribution of supplies that have been freely
donated by the public.
This protester said
someone needs to go to jail this is corporate manslaughter.
The Grenfell protesters
were joined by residents of other tower blocks in the borough who are
now worried about their safety.
Theresa May made a
surprise visit back to the area tonight but was hurried away by
security after the residents turned on her shouting "Coward".
Also
whisked away, was London Mayor Sadiq Khan, when bottles were thrown
at him by an angry crowd.
