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

So the police have arrested some people over this. Good.

I wish they'd arrest those responsible for the cladding that enabled the Grenfell fire.

citiesofbismuth · 06/11/2018 04:32

Even if they can't be prosecuted for a particular crime, their identities will soon be out there and their lives will be ruined.

Hopefully this process will happen in the next few days and they will deserve what will inevitably follow.

They won't be laughing then!!
You never know, the world might learn something from it Shock

moredoll · 06/11/2018 05:32

Ok so burning a images of Boris or Donald Trump is ok, but not anything involving illigall occupation

Firstly, the vast majority of people at Grenfell were legal occupants.

Secondly, is your argument that if the tenants had been illegal that would have in some way justified the immoral and unethical practices of the council and the KCTMO which led to dozens of people burning to death?

clumsyduck · 06/11/2018 06:26

Apparently there have been some arrests

kenandbarbie · 06/11/2018 06:32

That's great - i hope they can be prosecuted.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 06/11/2018 06:52

What where they thinking of.
They must have known this would lead them into serious trouble
Fully grown men, too and. People go on about young teenagers behave.

Figgygal · 06/11/2018 07:01

Grown men!! In their 40's and 50's
Shame on them

Ladymargarethall · 06/11/2018 07:04

Absolutely despicable.

NewModelArmyMayhem18 · 06/11/2018 07:08

I would think it could be classed as an act of public indecency.

Absolutely disrespectful and beyond 'goady'.

youarenotkiddingme · 06/11/2018 07:08

It is absolutely vile and I'm sickened to think I share a county with these people.

And it shows a internalised hatred because their words are incorrect.

What sort of person would do this? Be part of it, find it amusing? I can't even find the right words.

theymademejoin · 06/11/2018 07:25

@HelenaDove

@theymademejoin - Considering hes the one who prosecuted the Rotherham abusers i would think he knows what hes talking about.

Perhaps. But if there is a law of this nature, then why has nobody ever been prosecuted for hate crimes in NI when they burn effigies of the pope or Martin McGuinness or similar?

I'm not saying they don't deserve to be prosecuted. They are absolute scum but being scum is, sometimes unfortunately, not a crime.

@BarristerSecret
Worth remembering - Tweeters and broadcasters alike - that criminal proceedings are “active” for the purpose of contempt laws once police have made an arrest. So tread carefully.
