As far as I am aware, Donna's new neighbours haven't done anything to her other than exist.

Humble, genuine people tend to attribute their success and prosperity down to many different things including luck. Donna seems to think she is better than everyone else and did it all herself.
Why do you believe Donna thinks she is better than EVERYONE else ? That's an absolute generalisation which is prevalent to a lot of left wing individual's on here.

How do you know that Donna ( ? and her partner ) didn't make the money to afford to live there ? Another generalisation.

What we have is a truly appalling tragedy. The responsibility to re-home is down to Kensington Council and to a lesser extent other councils in the UK.

It is NOT the responsibility of Donna.

If she has a mortgage on her property and if those who need to be re-homed stay indefinitely, would you expect her property value to increase or decline ? It could lead her into negative equity, or possibly delay her retirement.

Why should she shoulder the responsibility directly ?

It needs to be set out clearly that it is a temporary measure for, perhaps no more than a month, by which time other councils should have been able to help.

Who pays for the social housing in such luxurious properties. You could house 10 - 20 times the amount of people for the same price as one family or individual in the luxurious property.

Think of it this way, for all of you who save up all year to go to Porthcawl, Spain, Florida, etc. How would you feel if someone in social housing was gifted an all expenses holiday to some of the expensive places on the planet ?

I re-iterate, it's the most appalling tragedy, with throwbacks to Bradford Fire Disaster, the Twin Towers and the Brazilian, Joelma disaster that has often featured in workplace fire lectures.
Tragic and all must responsibly be helped.
