Grenfell Tower Fire: Demonstrators Demand Justice for Victims
Local Editor
Protests erupted across London on Friday afternoon in the wake of the Grenfell Tower fire disaster, with victims and other angry Londoners uniting in outrage at the failings that led to the blaze.
Many of the protesters called on British Prime Minister Theresa May to resign, after a number of critical reports about the Government's treatment of fire safety concerns emerged after the tragedy.
May was also under intense pressure after she failed to meet with victims immediately after the fire, choosing to talk to the emergency services instead. She has since visited victims in hospital.
So far, the fire that broke out in the residential block in the early hours of Wednesday morning has claimed at least 30 lives, and the death toll is expected to rise.
