Almost 2,000 people have signed a petition in just four days calling for a BBC show to be scrapped. The BBC is planning to air a drama on the Grenfell Tower fire, but 1,850 people signed a petition calling for it to be pulled in the first four days of the campaign.
Cecilia Corzo, who started the petition, wrote: "We don’t want the BBC to make a drama about the Grenfell fire tragedy.
"It has been less than 6 years since the fire that took 72 innocent lives and left hundreds more people displaced grieving without any justice. Many people are still suffering from PTSD and many cannot even return to their old neighbourhood because of the trauma they experienced that night. There are still survivors waiting for a permanent home. Survivors who will never hold their loved ones again. Whole families who now only exist in memory. The perpetrators have avoided all criminal consequences."
