Kensington residents protest over cancerous chemicals from Grenfell blaze
People protest over cancerous chemicals from Grenfell blaze today

GRENFELL justice activists brought traffic to a standstill today in a protest against the continuing presence of toxicity in the area around the tower that was devastated by fire two years ago.

Activists dressed in hazmat suits and surgical masks were demonstrating against the “lying” authorities after a number of cancer-causing chemicals were found in the air and soil.

The horrific tower block tragedy in June 2017 killed 72 people after the combustible aluminium composite cladding covering the building caught fire.
