Answer 2

THAT is a fascinating video, SFA. And, I did not realize there was a great fire in London 1666, being of course the same year of London's last great outbreak of bubonic plague.

Answer 3

As is so typical of politicians, Parliament only acted when the stink reached Westminster and affected them directly and personally. Then, of course, the action was swift.

Reminds me of certain mayors in the US who de-fund the police... all except for the contingents that protect City Hall and the mayors' residences, naturally.
