Cardinal Vincent Nichols has urged Londoners to use their anger as a “force for good” in the wake of the Grenfell Tower fire.

The cardinal was speaking at a Mass for all those affected at St Pius X church in North Kensington, located less than a mile away. He told those gathered: “Anger is energy. And the energy has to be directed in the right way. Anger can be a force for good or it can be a force that separates us and divides us. Some people want to see that.

“But we must be so clear that the anger becomes a source of determination, that we hold together slowly build a society deep respect for each other and each other’s beliefs.”
