After people faked the deaths of their families to try and get government pay outs and other benefits, the disrespect towards the Grenfell Tower tragedy continues.
A Chinese tour guide has come under fire after taking a group of tourists to take pictures of the still-standing, burnt tower. For the unusual visit, the bus-load of sightseers were dropped off near the tower and seen taking their cameras out taking pictures of the site.
Witness John Gregory said, “When I approached the coach driver, he said that they are health and safety experts from China. Surely there are enough photographs on the internet of the tower that they don’t have to come in busloads to take photos of it.”
The tour guide has been sent back to China in disgrace while the bus driver, who when confronted claimed the tourists were Chinese health and safety experts, has been suspended.
Moyra Samuels, a campaign co-ordinator at Justice4Grenfell, condemned the tourists, saying, “If people want to use someone else’s grief as a tourist attraction what can we do? It’s insensitive and upsetting for the survivors. I think human beings are becoming extremely insensitive. This is not disaster porn and people need to develop a bit of respect.
“Today we are burying three people from the tragedy. People need to remember this is a community that is still grieving.”
