Just started #reading #PeterApps book, having followed the #GrenfellTowerInquiry via the BBC Radio #Podcast of the same name.

"Grenfell was the result of a series of choices, the sum of state neglect and corporate wrongdoing across a variety of areas, the epicentre of myriad defects in our social fabric. More than anything, it was the result of political choices".
