Page Description
Explore the ongoing search for justice after the Grenfell Tower fire, examining accountability, the public inquiry, unanswered questions, and the fight for truth.
The Grenfell Tower fire was not only a devastating human tragedy; it also raised profound questions about responsibility, decision-making, and accountability.
After the loss of 72 lives on 14 June 2017, survivors, bereaved families, and communities began a long search for answers. The public inquiry revealed serious failures across different organisations and institutions, but the question of who should ultimately be held responsible remains central to the ongoing discussion.
This page explores the journey towards justice after Grenfell Tower — the investigations, the voices of those seeking truth, and the wider questions about how such a disaster could happen. It looks beyond the immediate events of that night and examines the responsibilities that were ignored, the warnings that were not acted upon, and the continuing demand for accountability.

De brand in de Grenfell Tower was niet alleen een verwoestende menselijke tragedie; ze riep ook diepgaande vragen op over verantwoordelijkheid, besluitvorming en het afleggen van verantwoording.
Na het verlies van 72 levens op 14 juni 2017 begonnen overlevenden, nabestaanden en gemeenschappen aan een lange zoektocht naar antwoorden. Het openbare onderzoek bracht ernstige tekortkomingen aan het licht bij verschillende organisaties en instellingen, maar de vraag wie uiteindelijk verantwoordelijk moet worden gehouden, blijft een centraal onderwerp van discussie.
Deze pagina onderzoekt de weg naar gerechtigheid na de Grenfell Tower-ramp — de onderzoeken, de stemmen van degenen die de waarheid zoeken en de bredere vragen over hoe zo’n ramp heeft kunnen gebeuren. De aandacht gaat verder dan alleen de gebeurtenissen van die nacht en richt zich op de verantwoordelijkheden die werden genegeerd, de waarschuwingen waar niet naar werd geluisterd en de voortdurende oproep tot verantwoording.

Grenfell Tower: A Crime Without Punishment
16 jul 2026 #kensington #cladding #documentary
They got away with it.
Guilty & Free documents the corporate frauds, government cover-ups, and
white collar crimes that the powerful hoped you’d never find out about.
Every case is real. Every fact is sourced. Every verdict is documented.
——————————————————————————
At 12:54am on June 14, 2017, a small fire started in a flat in
Grenfell Tower in London. Thirteen minutes later, it was on the roof.
The cladding installed on the tower’s exterior during a recent
refurbishment had been fire tested before installation. It had failed
the test. The manufacturer knew. The cladding was installed anyway.
A six-year public inquiry found that three companies acted dishonestly
in how they represented their products’ fire performance. It found the
deaths of 72 people were the foreseeable consequence of decisions made
by identifiable companies. It used the word “dishonest.”
The residents of Grenfell Tower had warned about fire safety in writing
eight months before the fire. The organisation managing the building
threatened to sue them for doing so.
Choosing fire-safe cladding instead of the version installed would have
cost an additional £5,000. The council had £270 million in reserves.
Seven years later. Zero criminal charges.
