    I remember listening to the original call and crying in my car. I never forgot the raw pain in Shah’s voice. My mother died in hospital last year and I thought that was the worst pain I could ever feel - but she died in a bed, with her family nearby. I’m not sure I could carry the grief of losing her like Shah lost his mother and aunt.
    Shah, you’re a credit to your family. They deserved so much better and I’m so sorry.

    Austerity and neoliberalism have real consequences to real people. In savage capitalism, basic human decency becomes a product that only some can afford.

      Wrong. It’s not the system, it’s the culture. There’s a culture of wealth above human life. This is the mindset that the system was born out of.

      But that capitalism for you. Everything is a commodity to capitalists. I get the need for money for commodities, but "profit at all costs" is how you make human rights and needs a commodity. Food isn't a commodity, but chocolate is, if you know what I mean.

    There won't be any true justice for the victims. The developers, contractors and architects won't be held to account, the money men behind the scenes won't be held to account and you can be sure as sugar that no politicians will be held to account.
    The best we can do is carry on the fight, never stop talking about the victims and what they had to endure.

    Say the word. Corruption is the word and London is the most corrupt city in the world. That's saying something but it's true and it helps to explain the utter shambles that exists in the UK. It will not change without some kind of revolution.

  • @SnowSnow24

    If the building in slough hadn't also caught fire a few weeks ago would this inquiry even have happened? Or were they scampering to find answers to display to the public before the public started asking real questions about the safety of buildings all around the UK?
    Now people aren't horrified about slough. They're not focused on those 300 residents that were displaced and put into the care of a council that is bankrupt. They're focused on a frankly underwhelming inquiry into Grenfell Tower tragedy.
