Well Labour MP David Lammy seems to think so.

[Baldric]

He's a Labour MP, of course he is lying

In fairness to David Lammy, having watched the Newsnight interview, he didn't say there HAD been a cover-up, he just said he didn't know. He's understandably angry. I just happen to believe that it is unlikely in the extreme that anyone is covering anything up

[anotheoldgit]

As reported:
/// David Lammy also suggested the number of people killed in the tragedy could have been covered up by the Government because of fears of riots. ///

Emily Maitliss:
'Are you saying there's been a cover up?'
David Lammy: 'I don't know!!'
But he has raised the possibility as the report says

[-Talbot-]

He subscribes to it therefore...

[youngmafbog]

If he thought there were 40 in flat why hadnt he raised this?

I cant see how anyone could hold someone responsible when they have been breaking the law. Buildings are made and cater for a certain number of occupants. Overload it and you are in for problems as the water/gas/electric and sewage will be under pressure and of course escape routes should there be an emergency.

It is a conspiracy theory the same as we didn't land on the moon.

It also feeds into the Labour mentality of put it out there and eventually it becomes urban truth or is it alternative truth.

Whatever it will now never fit back in the box and we will have websites setup and to programmes in the years to come e expounding the different cover up theory's.

With no chance of closure when people are still looking for a different answer!!!

[ichkeria]

Not just labour. You propound any sort of theory online or in a book and it's there for good despite all the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. There'll always be someone to believe it. This one I suspect stands a good chance of not being like that.

I heard this interview
and realised that it was David Lammy

"there is onviously a conspiracy and the Tory Govt has to show there isnt !" is not a winning game. It is not like a bomb where you may have the number of limbs not divisble by four ....( you count the prostate and uteruses apparently)

I heard the 40-in-a-room story from Lammy and thought a drone could be used to settle this sort of question

Inquests could be five years away

“I wonder if there were people in the tower block that, (trying to say this without causing a diversion) were not official residents, or had no documentation to identify them.”

You could be right. I’ve also heard rumours that The Pope is not a Muslim and that bears do not use public conveniences, so we must not be surprised at anything.
