Im absolutely disgusted at this and it shows how far the stigma against social housing tenants has gone.

YABU HD we need an undeserving poor for this shit show to run and Social Housing tenants have their free house to comfort them.

Omg that is horrific and depraved.

One of them even jokes "this is what happens when you dont pay your rent"

social housing stigma and hate and racism too.

What makes these people do this. And what makes them think it’s funny. I really don’t understand some people.

Today I read on someone twitter page a rant about panda bears. He showed a video of a panda bear playing with a snowman. Falling over and generally just having the best life a panda can have. His comment was he was angry that we still spend a lot of money to keep these stupid pandas alive and breeding.

Again. People baffle me.

Horrible bottom feeding disgusting fuckers are the lowest scum alive. I met some Grenfell folk week before last and what they'd been through was heartbreaking and humbling, hopefully the police will find the filth that posted that video and charge them with hate crime the small minded cretins

I really hope that those people in the video get their comeuppance, and I'm usually the last person to say something like that. 

I couldn't bear to click on the link when it came up on Facebook. Wtf is wrong with people? I recall sobbing as I fed my 6mo dd at night time at the same time I heard about the poor woman who died with her 6mo child in a stairwell. Fucking arseholes.

It's made me feel sick to the stomach. I can only hope that as their faces and accents are so clear, their names will be revealed very soon.

Shocking.

The Grenfell folk are still traumatised at the sheer horror of what happened and some fucking arseholes mocking their plight makes me very very angry indeed

It is disgusting. And disturbing how little empathy some people feel. I am wary of the "hate crime" thing that gets flung about though. Surely a hate crime involves actually doing something to someone based on an irrational hatred of their race or sexuality or whatever.
This is some fuck wits who think it's OK to mock the horror of Grenfell. They should be publicly shamed, but arrested? Not sure how

There have been racist tweets directly to the Grenfell residents constantly in the last seventeen months ever since the fire. And it has been allowed to run unchecked.

If this was happening to a celebrity you can bet this site it would be investigated as a hate crime.

What the actual fuck is wrong with people?!

Ok, I'll bite. What exact "hate crime" do you think has been committed here?

the remark saying its what happens when you dont pay your rent tells me its driven by hatred of tenants.

This is the kind of shit that the constant "othering" of groups leads to.

Fucking disgusting, I can't click on the link I'd get too upset and my only association to greenfell is that I occasionally drive past it. It puts me in mind of the scum bag that burnt the £20 notes in the face of a homeless man. It's absolutely a product of the attitudes if our leaders, only the monied have value in this society. Shameful.

I hope they're bricking it now that the video has gone viral! Can't believe grown men and women would find this funny.

It’s sick

Completely and utterly sick

I bet the EDL has some involvement in this

the remark saying its what happens when you dont pay your rent tells me its driven by hatred of tenants

Okkkaaayyyy.

So I'll ask again, what hate crime do you think has been committed here?

Scumbags every one of them. Who spends time drawing that, making it and cutting out little people to stick in fake windows?!

Disgusting.

My god. The laughter as they watch it burn. What is wrong with the world?

Honestly Choochoothepanda do you really need it spelt out to you or are you just being wilfully obtuse? What Helena has said is right. Add to that that this appears to be a bunch of white people burning an effigy of a tower block fire in which the majority of people killed were from the BME community. Have a look at all those charming little paper cut out people.

Not everyone who lived in the Tower were 'social' tennants. Some weren't even rent payers - they owned their flat. The residents were a large mix of people with all different circumstances. Absolutely shocking that anyone thinks that tragedy is something to be mocked.
