    Citing this as an example of racial capitalism is a weird take when the cladding report found hundreds and hundreds of similarly vulnerable buildings all across the UK, the majority of which were actually private residential blocks (ie not social tenants)

    Grenfell didn’t happen because the residents were BAME, it happened because profit driven developers will screw you over whether you’re black or white.

    I think the expression ‘no shit, Sherlock’, is a fitting desciption to the conclusion of that inquiry.

    We all nothing’s going to happen to the landlord, it will be business as usual, nothing to see here.
