I read this on @finlay24.bsky.social's recommendation. It's a superb piece of investigative reporting about a horrific case of State neglect & negligence.
I'd forgive anyone for howling 'Burn it all down!' while reading it. But don't overlook the instances of decency & dutifulness in the story.👇

In November 2023, police discovered the decayed corpse of Tracey Turnell in Walthamstow Market.
She had no phone, job, passport, friends or lovers. There wasn’t a single photo of her.
It was as if, in her far too public death, she entered the public record for the first time. Who was she?
A decayed corpse was found being wheeled through the centre of Walthamstow. Who was she? And who is to blame for her death?
