00:00I say grandfather was my home.

00:07I would always see the London Eye.

00:09It had the most amazing sunsets.

00:12Back in 2017, it was becoming summertime.

00:15That night, we just went out for dinner.

00:19And then I got a text from a friend.

00:22Fancy going on Xbox?

00:25Yeah, it was as simple as that, really.

00:26Fire Brigade?

00:30Yeah, hello. Hi, in the fire in Greenfield Park.

00:33Quick, quick, quick, quick.

00:34They're on the way.

00:35It's burning.

00:36Yes, I know it's burning, as long as you're okay.

00:44My window was alight, and it just raced towards me.

00:49They were telling us to stay inside,

00:52but the fire was getting closer.

00:53We just dashed it for the stairwell.

00:57It was just smoke black.

00:59I didn't have any idea where they were.

01:02I honestly believed it would be dealt with,

01:05because it's the United Kingdom.

01:11Somebody had been grossly negligent.

01:13This is described as sticking a petrol tanker

01:17to the outside of a building.

01:20This was this huge corporate scandal.

01:22There's internal emails that say,

01:24oops, we are not clean.

01:26Sadly, companies were able to find a way around the regulations.

01:29Any minister who wants to introduce a regulation

01:32has to scrap one.

01:33We raised concerns with the council.

01:36We were labeled scroungers.

01:37We didn't deserve anything, so just shut up.

01:41There are thousands of buildings

01:43that still have the combustible cladding.

01:46Feel free to ask me as many questions as you like,

01:49but use your time wisely.

01:51Right.

01:52There's 72 people died.

01:54We still don't know who's going to be in prison.

01:57We just want justice.

01:59It's heartbreaking, unbelievable cruelty.

02:02Everyone is blaming each other.

02:03Dishonesty.

02:04Align governance.

02:05Agreed.

02:07Why did this have to happen?

02:09Why?
