Grenfell – until the next time?

November 14, 2022

Richard Millett KC, said the risks that led to the June 2017 fire at Grenfell Tower were ‘well known’ by many of the organisations and ‘ought to have been known’ by all of them: ‘Each and every one of the deaths that occurred in Grenfell Tower, on the 14 June 2017 was avoidable’… the building industry companies were blaming each other ‘in a merry-go-round of blame’ (bbc.in/3UAFKFc).

Greed was a key motivator and private sector organisations involved in the refurbishment had shown ‘a callous indifference to anything – morality, honesty, life safety – that was not related to the bottom line of the business’, said Imran Khan KC (bit.ly/3EvquEg).

Capitalism, doncha just love it?
