Final Grenfell Report Finds Systematic Dishonesty
News summary

The final Grenfell Tower inquiry report has concluded that 'systematic dishonesty' by cladding and insulation companies was the primary reason the tower was covered in flammable materials, leading to the avoidable deaths of 72 people. The report heavily criticizes the construction industry, government, and regulatory bodies for decades of failure and dishonesty, which culminated in the 2017 fire. Survivors and bereaved families have expressed feelings of being failed by calculated greed and have called for those responsible to be held accountable. The inquiry also highlights that the marketed safety of combustible materials was misleading, and that multiple parties, including local and national authorities, share the blame. The fire, which started from a faulty freezer, spread rapidly due to the highly combustible cladding, resulting in Britain's deadliest residential fire since World War II. Despite the damning findings, criminal prosecutions may take years due to the complexity of the investigation.
