The Grenfell Tower fire, a devastating tragedy that claimed 72 lives, has been the subject of a lengthy inquiry. The final report, released seven years later, reveals a harrowing story of negligence, corporate dishonesty, and systemic failures that led to the disaster. From faulty cladding to flawed safety regulations, the inquiry lays bare the multitude of mistakes that contributed to the loss of life.
In the era of post-truth politics, uncomfortable realities are conveniently ignored, and alleged scandals continue unabated. Despite the public outrage over tragedies like Grenfell Tower, the government and media outlets enable a culture of deflection and denial. The recent examples of disgraced MPs further expose the unwillingness to confront misconduct. However, the memory of Grenfell Tower and its victims remains a stark reminder of the failures of accountability and the need for justice.
