Grenfell smoke bomb fury

TRANSGENDER activists have been condemned by Grenfell Tower fire victims after they set off smoke bombs near the block where 72 people died.

Police were called after protesters wearing balaclavas stormed a meeting of Labour Party feminists at a community centre near the high rise in London last week, and set off plumes of acrid smoke.

The group, calling themselves the London Bi Pandas, targeted a meeting of Labour Women’s Declaration in Kensington, which has warned the rights of women are being eroded by allowing transsexuals into female changing rooms.

A Twitter account for the Grenfell community posted: ‘This is a memorial space, please show respect, and please do not desecrate with swear words, shouting, or with any form of smoke bombs again.’

The pro-trans activists said: ‘We need to hold our hands up and apologise for the smoke bombs.

‘We realised too late the insensitivity of using them.’
