#grenfell tower

9 years ago today.

I’m searching for a song Louis recorded with a lot of other singers, I believe it was for charity. I thought it was for Band Aid but that was one direction and my brain is drawing a blank for what else it could be.

Do you maybe know the name or the youtube video? Or maybe one of your followers knows.

Thank you so much for your help🫶🏼

He and Liam both sang on the charity song for the Grenfell Tower fire. Maybe that's what you're thinking of?

Today is the 7th anniversary of the Grenfell Tower Fire, in which 72 people lost their lives. Cheap cladding used by corner cutting developers likely contributed to the severity of the fire and lives lost, but there have never been proper answers.

Books 32 and 33 of 2025. Prebble’s play, Enron, managed to capture the personalities behind the funny economics that underpinned its downfall and the credit crunch years later. Ben Okri’s poetry collection had an amazing poem on the Grenfell Tower Fire.

But it made the tower look pretty, yes it made the tower look pretty. But in

twenty-four storeys, not a single sprinkler.

In twenty-four storeys not a single alarm that worked. In

twenty-four storeys not a single fire escape,

Only a single stairwell designed in hell, waiting For an

inferno. That’s the story of our times.

Make it pretty on the outside, but a death trap On the

inside. Make the hollow sound nice, make The empty

look nice. That’s all they will see,

How it looks, how it sounds, not how it really is, unseen. But if

you really look you can see it, if you really listen You can hear

it. You’ve got to look beneath the cladding. There’s cladding

everywhere. Political cladding,

Economic cladding, intellectual cladding—things that look good But
