In an extraordinary address to the Commons, MP for
Kensington & Chelsea Emma Dent Coad has accused officers of Kensington and
Chelsea Council of “racism or snobbery – take your pick” during a debate on the
response to the Grenfell disaster. The House heard Dent Coad pledge to continue
exposing the council’s “duplicity and blatant lies, incompetence and
cover-ups.” She catalogued examples of a “feudal” attitude officers – some senior
– took towards residents of Grenfell and its surrounds, including:
·
“It’s like Little Africa down there” and “it’s
full of people from the Tropics”
·
References to residents as “Muzzies”
·
Warnings of Kensington and Chelsea becoming an
“Islamic Caliphate”
·
Money spent on mental health dismissed by “they
all look fine to me”
