Emma O'Connor, a survivor of the Grenfell Tower fire, urges against demolishing the tower, fearing it would make survivors invisible and erase their identity. She advocates for a community vote on the building's fate, emphasizing the need for proper consultation with residents. O'Connor plans to protest by chaining herself to the site if the Government proceeds with demolition. The remains of Grenfell are viewed as a crucial symbol of loss and a reminder of the ongoing fight for justice, though Deputy PM Angela Rayner has expressed concerns about the implications of preserving only some floors.
Emma O'Connor warns that demolishing Grenfell Tower would render survivors invisible, urging community consultation and expressing determination to protest against the plan.
She emphasized that the remnants of Grenfell serve as a painful reminder of the tragedy, symbolizing the need for justice and remembrance.
