Outraged Londoners took to the streets of their city on Wednesday to express solidarity with the victims of the recent Grenfell Tower fire and voice anger at the government policies they argue led to the disaster. The “Day of Rage” march, which is taking place on the hottest day of the year so far in London, is a display of political discontent following the fire last week that claimed the lives of nearly 80 people and comes as community members lay blame at the feet of Prime Minister Theresa May and her Tory-run government which has pushed deep cuts to public housing amid broader austerity measures targeting low-income and working-class Britons. People carried signs reading “Justice for Grenfell Victims” and decrying the fire as “Corporate Manslaughter.”
