About this listen
In January 2023 Peter Apps discussed his latest book "Show Me the Bodies: How We Let Grenfell Happen" to a sold out Wanstead Tap. Interviewed by Peter Williams it was a night of heartbreak, frustration and shock...
On 14 June 2017, a 24-storey block of flats went up in flames.
The fire climbed up cladding as flammable as solid petrol. Fire doors failed to self-close. No alarm rang out to warn sleeping residents. As smoke seeped into their homes, all were told to ‘stay put’. Many did – and they died. It was a tragedy decades in the making.
Peter Apps exposed how a steady stream of deregulation, corporate greed and institutional indifference caused a tragedy. This is the story of a grieving community forsaken by our government, a community still waiting for justice.
