Grenfell Tower Inquiry has the classic hallmarks of elite impunity. The first part of the report which focus on the fire brigade will be what's remembered. It focuses on things like the "stay put" policy, which rested on the understandable assumption

that such buildings met a specific level of fireproofing. It is no doubt true they could have done things differently but how much was also due to systemic cuts in the budget that had a deleterious impact on training, manpower and incident response. The normative assumption
in all this ridiculous performance by many undertakening the report is that somehow effective institutions can be maintained when their budgets are eviscerated. Following 9/11 security services were lionized, in the UK they are the easy target #GrenfellReport
