Grenfell Tower block disaster

I just can't get my head round it. If you want to make a sick joke between friends then fine, please yourself.
But why on earth would you put it up on social media is just beyond me. Not only is it extremely insensitive to the family members involved but you make yourself look like a complete tosser to all that see it.
 
This country is fast turning into a facist state. The very concept of 'hate crime' is Orwellian and I frankly fear the idea that the state can control speech and what it deems as acceptable.
It was crass, insensitive,immature etc. but what it isn't is a crime...unless you redefine what constitutes a crime. Anyone can find anything hateful in something. I could post a picture of a puppy and it would be offensive to someone.
 
It’s all very subjective, what one might find deeply offensive another might find it amusing, what upsets one, someone else won’t give a shiny crap.
What I find slightly distasteful about the whole thing is being TOLD it is offensive, and on the same vein someone else won’t find that distasteful at all, subjective as I said
 
And it turns out that this video was shared on a private Whatsapp group and some outraged snowflake took upon herself to send it to the the Met Police via the Court of Tw@tter.
So if that's the case then the person who loaded it on to Twitter is guilty of the Communication offence.

As explained above. They put it on a private whatsapp group and a member of that was offended and chose in his/her infinite wisdom to stick it on Twitter.

So it’s not a crime then.

It was very poor taste joke they didn’t mean to get out but they’ve not threatened, abused or harassed anyone with it, as it was supposed to be private.
 
I have a dark and twisted sense of humour sometimes. I can almost aways laugh at anything too. The video crossed the line quite easily.

Atypical of working class southerners with a couple of quid in their pocket. They think they’re untouchable. I didn’t even need to know they’d be wearing designer polo shirts with the buttons done up to the top.

Would you really want to be around people who dont find that video and its contents offensive? It is repugnant

I actually giggled the first time I saw it.

Why would you admit that? I’m of the age now where friends are beginning to die. There was a bowel cancer diagnosis in my old Manchester circle last week. He’s 42.

You can understand a flippant, off kilter remark in the pub after Grenfell (however unacceptable.) These chav twats have lovingly prepared a piece of art to destroy, mock and film themselves doing it. “They should have paid the rent” and “die ninjas” etc. The latter a swipe at Muslims.

Having said all that, I’m going to be fascinated to see if charges are brought against them.

I've a good friend going through this that thinks the whole thing is media lead bollocks. It was nasty, that's why it's funny to some. Dark humour. The only reason this is pushed is because of the colour and religion of the residents.

The left and Liberal media are causing more divide than anything. Fucking disgusting like that shit bonfire stunt by pissheads we all know.

Do you genuinely believe that? I suspect there would have been even more outrage had they burnt an effigy of a building where 79 predominantly white people died.

Although they wouldn't have done that, of course. The "ninja" comment in the video gives a pretty good indication of why that particular building was chosen.

I simply fail to see any level of humour in this at all. Of course people are entitled to find it funny if they want, just as I'm entitled to think anyone who's that way inclined is a complete ****.
 
I don’t know how anyone could see any humour in that. Disgusting chav south London scum. John Terry like.

I think theres plenty of people on the far right, sorry I mean "classic liberals" who are absolutely dying to see charges brought to add more credence to their claims that freedom of speech is under attack. Literally no idea why their concern about freedom of speech only rears its head when it's about protecting those whose sole aim is needlessly offend others or promote an agenda that limits the freedoms of other people, but hey ho that's where we are at the moment.

I don't think any charges will be brought which seems correct. Sounds like they had reasonable expectation the video was being exchanged between a closed off group of like minded dickheads. They messed up though, it got out and now other people will have the opportunity to exercise their freedom of speech in return by calling them out for the hateful racist bastards that they are.
