'I Didn’t Study It In Any Depth': 7 Times The Grenfell Inquiry Has Made Jaws Drop

[Disir]

The Grenfell inquiry wrapped up this week for the summer recess after providing weeks of yet more incredible revelations.

Whereas the first part of the inquiry last year examined the harrowing details of the night itself, since it reconvened in January, this year’s instalment has heard often shocking details about the corporate decisions that lead to the blaze being so deadly.


Ignored emails, architects who weren’t aware of rules and a general trend of passing the buck were all major themes as the refurbishment of the tower from 2016 to 2016 was dissected.

It was of course this refurbishment that resulted in the tower being clad in a combustible material that burned quickly and fiercely on the night of the disaster.

Ignored emails, architects who weren’t aware of rules and a general trend of passing the buck have so far been revealed in the second phase of the inquiry.

That's just incompetent.

Years ago public housing was built by local authorities and was constructed to strict guidelines overseen by the "Clerk of Works". Now it is built to maximise profit by the lowest bidder who subs out all the work to the lowest bidder in order to maximise profit.

In Grenfell it was all overseen by a council who didnt want those people there anyway. I think this enquiry is there to protect the government and senior tories and will probably hang out the tea boy or similar. Justice will not be done.

The next labour government will have to hold a new enquiry with a remit to get to the truth. It will take years to sort.

The victims and their families deserve better.
