Remembering Grenfell



Today marks the third anniversary of the fatal fire at Grenfell Tower in West London. You'd think that changes would have been made, and that the survivors would have had full support in the aftermath of such a disaster. Think again.

The BBC website shared a story about Grenfell Athletic, a football club that is working to heal the wounds. If you don't remember what happened, here is a link. Be warned that some of the images of the burning tower are very vivid. Here is the Wiki description.

Nearly 250 buildings still have the same kind of cladding that carried the deadly fire through the tower that night. There seems to be little urgency on the part of the authorities to move forward. Meanwhile, today our thoughts are with the 72 victims who lost their lives, all who knew and loved them, and the survivors.
