The Grenfell Inquiry's final report highlights a series of systemic failures over decades in both government and the private sector that culminated in tragedy, emphasizing negligence in fire safety reforms.
Experts raised alarms about combustible cladding as early as 1992 following the Knowsley Heights fire, yet necessary regulations were not enforced, showing a shocking neglect of public safety.
Despite the 2001 safety tests indicating violent burning of the cladding type used on Grenfell, the results remained confidential, reflecting a disturbing trend of prioritizing business interests over crucial safety standards.
The inquiry criticized the government's approach under David Cameron, which prioritized reducing regulations at the expense of protecting lives, revealing a failure to treat safety as a fundamental concern.
