Grenfell Tower block disaster

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Exactly these low lifes should be named and shamed in papers on social media and on TV as the utter scum they are but FFS, how many people have been stabbed and killed on the streets of London lately

Where I live burglary is on the up as people know its free pickings as police do fuck all - rats on bikes hanging around getting younger kids to give them their trainers and caps or they get tw*tted because they know the only time the see a copper these days is on reruns of the BIll on Dave.

The police need to start focussing on real crimes and not on people being offended or having their feelings hurt on facebook.

I cant agree with that. This video is disgraceful. That cannot be allowed to go unchecked

I agree, and section 5(1)(b) provides for "any writing, sign or other visible representation which is threatening [or abusive]"

I didn’t know that, I must admit.

What comes under “abuse” normally?

If I wrote a sign saying “Donald Trump is a ****”, would that come under section 5(1)(b)?

Surely that’s the same?

What is your opinion on the legality of this bonfire?

Sorry for the questions, I’m just intrigued and know you know your stuff for obvious reasons.

How do you know they arent looking to do that or doing that now? Prosecute the person who put it on twitter I mean

Because there is no outrage over his role in this at all and the whole thing is a response to public outrage. Don't get me wrong, the person who posted it is probably a much nicer person than the people in the video, after all he was disgusted by what he saw which I would say is the appropriate response. But I still think putting it on twitter was irresponsible albeit absolutely typical of the society we live in. I think social media is utterly destroying society.

Yes it is

Yes it is

There’s many people breaking the law on a regular basis then.

On this forum every hour of the day.

Well no. On a forum formed by members it would be difficult to make an offence out. You asked if an offence woukd be made out by you displaying a sign in public with the word '****' written on it and that is what I responding to.That would be an offensive viaible representation that would constitute an offence; we live in a civilised society where people going about their private lives and walking their young kids down a street should not have to take them past an offensive sign like that.
