The video, posted on social media sites and shared, depicts a cardboard model of a building that is thrown onto a bonfire with a sign saying 'Grenfell'. Cartoons depict the victims of the fire, many of whom are Black and Asian, in a manner that is less than sympathetic to the real victims of the tragedy.
There is absolutely no doubt this is tasteless, insensitive and deliberately offensive but should it be treated as a crime?

The people who burnt a model of the Grenfell tower on bonfire should face a much higher standard of justice than the people who made the flats into a tinderbox in the first place Government Ministers and public officials have announced.
Montague Bassington-Bassington MP told us, “It’s important with such a tragedy that we consider all the facts. Having thoroughly reviewed the evidence the fact is that a sizeable portion of my investment portfolio is in cladding companies. It would be quite terrible if this came out in open court so it’s probably best if the wheels of justice turn slowly on this one. Those people who performed that despicable act? Throw the book at them. I’m not invested in Elizabeth Duke and sovereign rings.”
A Spokesman for London Mayor Sadiq Khan said, “It definitely is in the public interest that these people are prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Grenfell was a tragedy. But we don’t want too big a court case otherwise it Mr Khan’s role in the decision not to install sprinklers in high rise flats a few years ago may come to light. He’s going to be trying for re-election soon.”
One Grenfell survivor told us, “It was very upsetting seeing the model going up in flames online. But not as upsetting as it was on the night and definitely not as upsetting as it is that I’m still homeless almost 18 months later and the people who clad my flat are still living in their homes. That’s probably more upsetting.”

That seems something of a cack handed bodged report to me.

Or the mob's outrage is focused in your direction any time in the future.
You do realise that in Nazi Germany or indeed the DDR you would probably have been an informer right if this is what you support.

Given that this act of crass insensitivity wasn't confined to their garden, but instead smeared all over public media, and given the undoubted anguish it will have caused to both survivors and relatives of those who died, what actions do you deem acceptable to be taken against these people ?
