Neoliberalism & death: 2 years since the Grenfell Tower tragedy

Two years after the Grenfell Tower tragedy, we speak to a Grenfell activist and member of a council that scrutinizes the government and local council policy, Joe Delaney, on the government’s inadequate response to the tragedy, racist comments made about the area, an attitude of “get over it,” and Theresa May’s alleged inhumanity over Grenfell. Next, we speak to Pat Mason on the rehousing situation of Grenfell victims, inadequate government relief policy on Grenfell Tower, and Mike Pompeo threatening to intervene in UK politics to stop Jeremy Corbyn from becoming prime minister. We speak to Morya Samuel, co-founder of Justice4Grenfell, about fire safety not being taken seriously before and after the tragedy and whether justice can be achieved. Finally, Lowkey plays us out with his tribute song, Ghosts of Grenfell.
