How about this for a poor piece of journalism?

The HOP is subject to fire safety inspections (audits), but not from the fire service. And they do have to comply with 'regulations' - The RRO. They just can't get prosecuted. (as QEII can't take herself to Court)

I do wish the Journos would do a bit of homework before coming out with this salacious nonsense. I guess this story is designed to allow them to spend millions on upgrading fire safety there during the forthcoming multi £billion refit

Whenever I read an article in the general press about a topic where I have actual technical knowledge, there are glaring errors. It's not just safety matters.

I suppose I could conclude that it's just an unfortunate coincidence that every article where I know something about the subject is wrong and assume that everything else they write is true, but...

And on a similar theme here is a story about one of our local hospitals. It has taken two recent fires for the management to figure out that they need to close the upper three floors to in-patients due to difficulties evacuating patients.
