A firefighter took a selfie in front of burning Grenfell Tower shortly after 72 people had been killed inside and used it for his Tinder profile picture. 'The question you have to ask yourself is how did he feel entitled to do that?'
A firefighter took a selfie in front of a smouldering Grenfell Tower shortly after 72 people had been killed inside and used it for his Tinder profile picture.
‘Why did he feel entitled to do that? When 72 lives have been lost in the building, including 18 children. And he felt what was more important was how he would look to other women on his social media site.’Mr Afzal also referred back to an Instagram page called ‘Hoses and Helmets’, which bills itself as a ‘Fire Brigade banter and community’, that is still posting ‘sexist, misogynistic, hate-filled behaviour’.
‘I think, given I’m on an al Qaeda hit list and have had far-right thugs attacking my house, that would give you some sense as to how impactful those stories were on me.’‘With hardly any exceptions, women told us they had been suffering sexual abuse, sexual harassment, what was described by people to them as banter which wasn’t, that they felt scared, they felt they weren’t being treated equally,’ he said.
