npub1g0tuf634rz4suczwj7kgnecr6cyt0eu9xmp3sp0fku68mqehq4msp3tvm4 (npub1g0t…tvm4) I watched first-hand as privatisation eviscerated the international respect that BSI held, and then the same happened to BRE.
I suspect that a state-funded Building Research Establishment might have prevented the cladding corruption that led to the Grenfell Tower tragedy, too. It’s hard to maintain independent quality control when you’re reliant on contracts from private businesses to fund you.
