2. I vaguely recall reading that the local fire authority did not have enough foam held locally to fight more than one or two tanks and that they did not have a fully qualified foam fire fighter on the staff.

   If so, no wonder it took so long to put it out.

   Came as a surprise, I suppose, the need for foam in an area where 5% of the nation’s fuel is stored. Clever, also, the building of such a place over a water source. Neat too, the way the tanks are so close together, saves on the cost of land. Even brighter that they allowed those houses and businesses to be built so close – saves commuting time, I suppose. Convenient also, the closeness of one of the nation’s major arteries, pity that fire creates heat and smoke and it forced its totally unforseable closure.

   But the brave firemen risked their lives putting it out. Nothing British about creating heroes to conceal disasters, oh no. But heroes they were, so let’s forget the incompetence of the emergency planners, the local planners, the house builders and the budget trimming politicians and businessmen who allowed this disaster to occur and focus on the heroes.

   Lucky it didn’t blow during the working day and that no fire fighter lost his life as a result of this huge multi-faceted cock-up.

3. Lol! Not much faith in yer fellow man there, Charles?! Absolutely right though; and of course only this government could be quite so complimentary of men who have not yet done their job.

   Personally I like the way the insurance company(s) involved came out even before the blaze was out and said they had it covered, no prob. I wonder if the same goes for local homeowners? I also wonder WHY they were so quick off the mark; usually you’d have to wait for the results of an inquiry.

   One thing I really don’t like about this whole thing is the fact that, if what the insurance companies say is true, the oil companies involved stand to make their money twice. At least. Once from the insurance payout, and again from the knock-on effect of raised prices. Even if this accident only causes the price of gas to rise by 1 penny, how many millions does that translate to for the oil companies themselves?

   And notice how, even before they’d put the blaze out, we were also being told there’d be no clues. How convenient. I wonder if the heat at the heart of this inferno approached the supposed 1100 degrees C which was (according to the 9/11 commission) sufficient to bring down the twin towers. Because there were plenty clues left over from that "fire"; even a passport! Same with the 7/7 false-flag attacks; once again there was evidence aplenty at the scene (ok; they’d found that even before they’d found the site of the explosions, but let’s not quibble!)

   As an side; notice how, after the first "suicide bombings" in the history of Europe, this government refuses a public enquiry. Why. Because it’ll be a distraction! From what? Well, it’ll distract the police and emergency services from doing whatever it is they do. Like chasing Brazilians around London and shooting them, presumably.

   If anyone ever needed evidence of a government complicit in attacking it’s own people, it’s the sight of that government refusing to publicly investigate events which had such a profound effect on the public itself. The criminality is staggering.

   Incidentally and apropos of nothing; there are apparently now only 5 countries left in the world that do not have a Rothschild controlled central bank. Those are Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Cuba, and Libya. The 6th and 7th were Iraq and Afghanistan.

4. You’ve lost me there, PapaL.

   Do you think the Rothschilds had a hand in it? Seems unlikely that people sensible enough not to have anything to do with the countries you mention would have even heard of Himel Hampstead.

   More likely some pillock put off changing a washer on an oil valve widget so he could nip home early. Perhaps we should spend six years and \xA310m on a public enquiry headed up by Lord Birt to discover this and then we could all disbelieve it? But the dissolving, false flag, plane (CIA?) piloted by a woman with a Brazilian sounds oddly plausible.

5. Nah; at least not directly! I did say "apropos of nothing"; just a little factoid someone unearthed recently. An interesting factoid, nonetheless; it gives credence to claims that world events are (and have long been) orchestrated by a small cabal of wealthy people. Believe it or not as you wish; there’s evidence for, and even more against (as you’d expect).

   And I’m not suggesting that the Buncefield fire was anything other than an accident; what I am saying is that unusually the insurance companies came out and said they’d cover the damage even before we knew any details. And IF it ever turned out to be anything other than an accident I’d be less than totally surprised; after all, the oil companies can only win out of incidents like these. Don’t believe me? Look at prices over the past 5 years.

   Equally, I wasn’t suggesting that there should be an inquiry about the Buncefield fire; I was talking about the lack of enquiry into the 7/7 bombings. I thought that was apparent by the reference to "Suicide bombers". I’d have posted the majority of these comments on the thread about the government refusing a public enquiry – except all our gutless, sacless journalists failed to ask about it and so there isn’t one.
