Unsafe concrete: Minister unable to detail how many schools at risk

[@leebex100]

2018... that's when they knew.

[@KJ-js7pi]

It has been an issue for decades, governments had been aware prior to 2018.

ACTUALLY - the UK stopped the manufacture of RAAC in 1982 cos it was sh!t - the Thatcher govt deregulated the buildings industry and in 1985 RAAC was allowed for use in public buildings [BS-8110-Part 3] as a cheap way for private contractors to build public buildings profitably. the size in the 70's was 750x1200mm this was increased in 1985 to 1200x6000mm We have known this was an issue for 40 years, structural engineers lodged protests at the time saying it was unsuitable. I encourage EVERYONE to read up on this, none of this was unknown in the industry. The information is very easy to find.

So over the course of five years the best they could do when they knew children’s lives were highly likely to be at risk was to send out a questionnaire

The Tory tactic has always been to pretend they are not in power. 80 of the last 123 years this lot have had to turn our country around and each time they fleece the country dry.

They did more than nothing. In a response to the report that detailed the dangers, they halved the rebuilding program from 100 to 50. Ordered by Rishi Sunak.
