People should take responsibility for themselves, and not expect the Local Authority to step in. They should have been insured.

The point is you don't know if these people were insured or not, you're assuming they weren't, if they did have insurance how long would it take to be paid out especially in a case like this where a large investigation is talking place? These people need immediate help & I can't believe anyone would begrudge them that & give it the 'i wouldn't get it so why should they'.
As Cashy has said, lots of them also lost loved ones in this tragedy - do you think any amount of money would help with that?
They have been offered this money to help with their immediate situation, which happened through no fault of their own, nowhere does it say they expected the authorities to give it to them - put yourself in their shoes, would you give it back & say no thank you - I doubt it!
