The burning of Boris Johnson, Theresa May’s severed head, the burning of Christian crosses and even worse than all these white persons daring to paint their faces black.

/// As the giant model went past, there were boos and people shouted out “burn him”. ///

Could this be construed as a hate crime?

It OK when people are burning effigies of people they don’t like as long as the effigies are not of minorities or Muslims/Muslim religious figures etc. As long as The effigy is of a white person, not from a minority, is Christian and British they are OK. Well that’s how it seems at any rate.

Because the police have more important issues to deal with such as beeping your horn at the car in front.
I'm sure bojo has committed / caused many a hate crime. Politicians should be exempt from being victims in such crimes. meaning... they probably deserve it dunt dey?
Lewes is well-known for its choice of 'topical' effigies.
There can be no comparison between those and the 'Grenfell Tower', if that is, indeed, what you are attempting.
protest against a protest? Well i'd protest against that..
i don't particulary like any of it, I don't think its right, but the grenfell tower one was so so wrong, that was nastiness on a level that - well i can't comprehend why.
People are too sensitive lol.
i don't like any of it to be fair, the Grenfell tower was a large step too far.

Have you? and if so why?
The burning of a Guy Fawkes effigy has been a political statement for centuries. It is a statement of disapproval and the same is true of contempory politicians who find their image being burned.
There is no comparison with a bunch of far right nutjobs revelling over the deaths of 72 men, women and children. Making fun out of a large scale tragedy, and laughing at the real victims is horrible in the extreme.
Burning a likeness of a politician is no worse than tweeting disapprovingly about them. It is just a comment of current affairs.
You're gnawing a bone with no meat on it, aog.

Or perhaps one of a certain Islamic religious figurehead, now that would cause a revolution.
cassa so it does, we are apparently fair game. Woe betide setting fire to Mohammed
I liked their 'Ghost Train' the best.
Have you got to the bottom of the barrel yet AOG?
You know why no one is protesting about this but are commenting on the Grenfell Fire incident.
Are we all liking living in the asylum?
no we are not ^^
Not impressed with these sort of processions.

I've stated my opinion about those cretins on the thread appertaining to the Bonfire night Grenfell Fire incident, that is why I have now entered a specific thread on these other bonfire night cretins.

But it seems that some are very selective with their condemnation.
