  5. Over six years after the #GrenfellTowerfire the remediation of faulty & dangerous #building materials remains desperately slow, with building contractors dragging their feet, and Govt. slow to act.

    However, when compared with the #HorizonIT & #infectedblood scandals, it reinforces the picture of UK #political #inequality;

    when normal people are effected the socio-legal systems of sanction & restitution are slow to move & usually incomplete!

    Powerlessness is fatal!
