Theresa May was chased out of Kensington by angry crowd shouting “coward!” and “shame on you!” as she was bundled into her car amid growing anger over the Grenfell Tower fire.
May went to St Clementine’s Church to privately met with victims who lost everything in the blaze that gutted the tower on Wednesday, and killed 79 people.
She faced huge criticism for failing to visit victims of the fire earlier, but angry people gathered outside waiting for her to come out; the police had to form a wall between the people and her entourage, as the angry crowd booed and threw insults. “We don’t want you here. Go go!” One man shouted: “Fuck off you slag.” Another man shouted: “You get back to your friends in the DUP.”
When she left, she walked briskly straight from the church door to the car.
