                  Surely this is a criminal action. Nobody would do this, would they?

                      Of course, but to come out and say I threw crucial notebooks into the bin come across as being completely unbelievable and impossible. What the hell were they thinking?

                        she was thinking that she would get away with it.

                          Was it criminal?

                          The piece I read implies that the notebooks had yet to be requested/subpoenaed by the inquiry, nor that they were under a legal hold by her employer (though they definitely should have been, at least from a US perspective).

                          It is quite rare for people to admit to criminal behaviour so blithely.

                                  Pretty much every day there is something like this

                                    In February 2014, the company tested the RS5000 insulation – which was a simple rebranding of one its existing products - at the Building Research Establishment (BRE) testing facility. The test failed when flames reached the top of the nine-metre mock wall in 26 minutes.

                                    He said that Phil Clarke, who worked for the BRE, suggested that it had failed due to cracking of the 8mm non-combustible cladding panels which had been installed in front of it and suggested using a thicker panel of 12mm to achieve a pass.

                                    The team at Celotex then decided to also add in a fire resisting magnesium oxide boards within the wall to increase its chances of passing a retest. Mr Roper said this was done with the express knowledge of senior managers.

                                    “Did that not strike you at the time as dishonest?” asked counsel to the inquiry Richard Millett.

                                    “I went along with a lot of actions at Celotex that looking back on reflection were completely unethical,” replied Mr Roper. “I was 22/23, first job. I thought this was standard practice albeit this did sit very uncomfortably with me.”

                                    He said he was “fully aware” that the test was being “overengineered to achieve a pass” and said he was “not in any doubt” that Mr Clarke of the BRE was aware of the plan to include the fire resisting board.
                                    This is so shocking it needs to be told to everyone.

                                    SEVENTY NINE PEOPLE BURNED TO DEATH because the company that did the testing told people how to get round the safety checks

                                            Why the fuck, even in times like this, isn't this story topping the news bulletings? Criminal, deathly fraud. People need to go inside for this (not the poor fucker who blew the whistle to the inquiry, mind, he's done a public service all told)

                                                although as Pete Apps who is an absolute must-follow on this points out:

                                                  Can you hear that?

                                                  That is the sound of thousands and millions of pounds of property and assets being quickly transferred to spouses and children.

                                                  If the directorships of these companies are not charged with - at the very least - corporate manslaughter, then I will be both incredibly angry and not-at-all surprised.

                                                    I have the walls and roof of my house clad with Celotex to improve it's thermal efficiency back in 2014. It marketed as a good insulator and very fire resistant.
                                                    Should I be worried?
