GRENFELL residents and campaigners have condemned the Metropolitan Police’s “Islamophobic and racist” assessment following the deadly blaze in 2017.

A Kensington and Chelsea police report four days after the fire was read out to the inquiry last week, with the force warning that
further disclosures about the incident risked “community tensions,” particularly because of the “Muslim cultural background” of those affected. 

“With the cause unknown, any subsequent disclosure would have an impact on community tensions, especially when the majority of those affected are believed to be from a Muslim cultural background — combined with the incident occurring during the holy month of Ramadan,” the Grenfell Community Impact Assessment stated.
