See the corporate depravity clad in warm words
- The public inquiry into the Grenfell Tower fire revealed that cladding companies were aware of the flammability of their products.
- Executives from these firms faced questioning during the inquiry, which coincided with the arrival of the Covid vaccine in the UK.
- The response from the cladding firms to the inquiry's findings has been deemed an insult to the victims and their families.
In December 2020, as the UK was receiving the Covid vaccine, the public inquiry into the Grenfell Tower fire was ongoing, focusing on the actions of cladding company executives. The inquiry revealed that these companies had been aware of the flammability of the cladding they were selling, yet they continued to market it without disclosing this critical information to buyers. The inquiry's findings, led by Sir Martin Moore-Bick, highlighted a disturbing level of corporate negligence and depravity. The response from the cladding firms to the inquiry's report has been criticized as deeply insulting to the victims and their families, reflecting a lack of accountability and empathy. This situation raises significant concerns about corporate ethics and the safety of building materials, emphasizing the need for stricter regulations and oversight in the construction industry to prevent future tragedies.
