I know who set this fire.

It was the Tory candidate for Kensington who lost out to the Labour woman after two re-counts. This tower block is in the constituency and by burning out its habitués, all mostly social housing Labour-voting fodder, the Tory Central Office hopes to retrieve its traditional majority in the soon-to-be expected General Election.

Extreme measures, I know, but the Tories were quite miffed about the local coons usurping their pocket borough.

Remember, you read it here first.
