Follow on Google News | "No chance of justice for #Grenfell victims in this lifetime" - Professor Chris ImafidonDue to the disrespectful walk-out on victims, by Sir Moore-Bick, at the opening ceremony of the #Grenfell public inquiry, world-renowned Prof Chris Imafidon predicts that the chances of getting justice for victims is impossible in this lifetime.
By: Hannah Rivers Continuing Professor Imafidon, who had earlier expressed concern, said "I've never seen such breath-taking disrespect for the dead, shocking disregard for the living and dehumanising behaviour towards fellow human beings, contempt for the community and insult to the audience as exhibited by the leadership of the inquiry". Prof Imafidon, who chairs, the alliance of inner-city charities, ExcellenceinEducation which works with pupils and parents from Grenfell tower, added "This is the worst exhibition of insensitivity, totally devoid of compassion to another human being by officialdom at the extreme. Why couldn't he acknowledge the questions of his dignified audience? Did he have to walk away to people who had keenly listened to him" The Kensington MP, Emma Dent Coad, who sat two rows behind Prof Chris Imafidon, expressed her dissappointment at the conduct of the inquiry as "[It was] cold and clinical process ". Meanwhile, eminent QC Michael Mansfield, agreeing with Professor Imafidon said the conduct of the entire ceremony was "tasteless". Sid-ali Atmani, a Grenfell Tower survivor who lived on the 14th floor, broke down in tears outside the inquiry. He said "It was bad. We are not going to give up. He should have at least stayed for another 10 minutes..." Another Grenfell fire victim said, "I am concerned that witnesses won't be cross-examined in the inquiry, I went into the inquiry feeling cautiously optimistic, but came out more cautious than optimistic." https://www.youtube.com/ https://www.facebook.com/ End
