Are we choosing what is a hate crime depending on what political persuasion you are?

Sick and tasteless undoubtedly, but illegal?

Yesterday people up & down the country were burning effigies of a catholic man who was tortured horribly before his death.
The irony being completely lost on those who are outraged.

Yeah its bad taste but thats it, be offended & f*** off.
Its a terrible waste of tax payers money and police time to investigate this.

The mountains are calling & I must go.

Grenfell has become a rallying point in the war of words between the Left and Right.

the Left are asking :
how was the health & safety issue ignored for so long ?
why was so little money spent on looking after Grenfell ?
why did theresa May make such a mess of the visit to the site ?
what will be the next building to burn, kill people etc due to financial cutbacks ?
was it all just a big conspiracy of penny-pinching ?

the right are asking :
how is there social housing with so many refugees & asylum seekers in one of the most expensive postcodes on the Planet ? expensive cladding ? overcrowding ? what was the contribution of economics to the disaster ?
could or would those residents pay for safe cladding themselves or was the State's penny-pinching letting the side down ?
how many people living in Grenfell were not even supposed to be in the country, nevermind that building ? would they all be alive today had the system been less derelict of its duty ?
had the tower been privatised would its safety have been better managed ?
who was managing the tower and did they have a clue about doing their job properly ?

both sides are angry and shouting 'b...stard Government'

what a mess. I disagree with burning effigies of anybody but now expect the perpetrators of this to be treated worse than murderers or rapists.

name some famous people who burned dolls of Guy Fawkes ? I bet the names of these Grenfell bonfire fellas will be famous very soon.

Kayla did Anfield & Old Trafford

Remember:

1. Burn poppies - OK
2. Burn effigies of (this year) Boris Johnson*: OK
3. Rape young kids for decades: OK (until exposed to wider public)
4. Freely return from a beheading holiday in Syria
5. Tasteless Guy Fawkes effigy of the "wrong thing" (TM): summary execution.

I f***ing hate what this country is becoming. And I'll re-iterate I'm disgusted at 1,2,3,4 AND 5.

* Any threats or abuse towards the "wrong MPs" invokes the "saint Joe Cox" outrage klaxon

You should go on an EDL march and protest

Paua oouaarancì Irà chiyeah Ishé galé ma ba oo ah
