FAMILIES' FURY Only manslaughter charges will bring justice, families of Grenfell victims blast as report lays bare raft of failings

 Grenfell Families Demand Justice as Inquiry Reveals Shocking Failures

Families of Grenfell Tower fire victims express outrage over manslaughter charges not being brought




The long-awaited report into the Grenfell Tower fire, which claimed the lives of 72 people in west London in 2017, has been published, revealing a shocking series of failures that contributed to the tragedy. Families of the victims have expressed their fury, demanding justice and accountability for those responsible.


At a press conference, campaigner Shah Aghlani, who lost his mother in the fire, criticized the inquiry for failing to deliver justice. He argued that manslaughter charges should have been brought against those responsible far sooner, stating that the current system is a "barrier" to justice rather than a facilitator.


Aghlani emphasized that the evidence was clear from the beginning and that there was no need for a lengthy inquiry to determine who was at fault. He called for swift and decisive action to hold the perpetrators accountable and prevent future tragedies.


Prime Minister Keir Starmer echoed Aghlani's sentiments, apologizing to the families of the victims on behalf of the British state. He acknowledged the "horrific failings" that led to the fire and pledged to take action to prevent similar disasters from happening again.


The report into the fire revealed a number of contributing factors, including the use of flammable cladding on the building, inadequate fire safety measures, and systemic failures within the regulatory system. The inquiry chairman, Sir Martin Moore-Bick, found that all of the victims who died in the tower were killed by the inhalation of toxic gases.


Families of the victims have expressed their devastation and anger at the loss of loved ones. They are demanding justice and accountability for those responsible for the tragedy. The report's findings have reignited calls for a public inquiry into the wider issues of building safety and regulation in the UK.


As the nation continues to grapple with the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower fire, the families of the victims are determined to ensure that their loved ones' deaths are not in vain. They are calling for a thorough investigation, prosecution of those responsible, and systemic reforms to prevent future tragedies.
