They Don't Need Reminding

Some of those who survived or lost loved ones in the Grenfell Tower disaster have reacted angrily to the announcement that the remains of the block are to be demolished. Since the track record of the British establishment indicates little chance that anyone significantly responsible will suffer consequences comparable in gravity to those that routinely befall benefits claimants who show up late to an interrogation by the Idleness Police, many undestandably believe the tower should continue to stand as a reminder. In a generous spirit of compromise, officials have expressed willingness to use parts of the tower in a memorial, subject no doubt to the emotional needs of whatever corporation eventually builds its shiny non-riffraff accommodation on the vacated site. As to any danger that the ruin's disappearance may let the culprits remain ignorant of what happened, it's unlikely that the survivors and the bereaved need worry overmuch. The culprits know perfectly well what happened, and they don't care.
