'Day of Rage' march for Grenfell
Shepherds Bush Green - Parliament Square, London, UK. 21st June 2017
Antonia Bright of Movement for Justice speaks on Shepherds Bush Green
Quite a few people spoke at the open mike before the start of the
march. This woman brought solidarity from her estate in Glasgow
Grenfell Residents spoke calling for a peaceful protest. The organisers
assured them that they had always intended
for the protest to be peaceful and that stories about violence were simply
a deliberate media distortion.

Several protesters carried placards showing some of the victims killed
in the fire
'Bring Down the government - Guilty of Murder - #Justice4Grenfell'
'Greed Kills - Justice for Grenfell'
'This Rage is Justified'
Many stressed that the disaster was one waiting to happen because
of the actions of councillors, politicians and others
who didn't care for the safety of those living in social housing but
put profit before safety, ignoring the warnings
from earlier fires, coroners recommendations and expert opinions.
RBKC even paid for a consultant to help them get around fire inspections
Many asylum seekers and undocumentd migrants are thought to have been killed,
though they were there without records and the true number will never be
known. Those who escaped have been offerend a limited time amnesty, but
the government will probably deport them after a year.
MfJ calls for them all to be tiven indefinte leave to remain.
