Well, if they stripped it down and took away the racism and politics it would be a completely different situation. But it's not.

I think you need to listen to the 'funny' comments on the video Livia

Mocking a burning building with added racism that killed 72 is meaningless! Offseason is back a day early!

Have you listened to the comments? This wasn't an innocent burning of a bit of cardboard

They all sounded English!

We can't give up our freedoms because camera phones have been invented. 1984 was a warning, not a manual.

It was in a garden of a home

If they didn't include the paper figures, would it still be "racist"?

What political views did they express?

You don't think racism and the Grenfell Tower have anything to do with politics?

"If they weren't racist, would it still be racist?" is a meaningless comment.

Why are you (and others) trying so hard to defend it? Do you even believe this would be an okay thing to do without the racism? Or do you just wanna talk aimlessly about hypotheticals? Like where are you actually hoping to get with this hypothetical question?

Bizarre behaviour from some people in here.

I'm not necessarily trying to defend it, but it's just a bunch of idiots having fun in a stupid way. I doubt they put much thought into it, beyond imagining they were being little edgelords.

A lot of people could do with a serious knicker de-twisting.

:joker:

Why film and share it

Who's defending it?

It might be that people are just putting a different spin on the story for discussions sake.

Like a defence?

You're smart enough to know the difference between burning an effigy of a person and burning an effigy of a tragedy. I doubt you'd be so quick to find balance had they burned an effigy of another tragedy, like say, the holocaust.

No! just not to join the mob.

:joker:

oh my god why would you even think about doing something like that? what was going through their head when they did that? sick bastards

That slapstick 70s humour you like to talk about cant have taught you much about irony huh

They burned a union jack on a bon fire yesterday. You can google that if you wish

In what sense is that the same?

With people like that in the country, I’d burn it too, complete gutter trash
