What about teenage victims of cyber bullying on social media? This has lead to suicides. Is that OK with you?
Monty Python sketch - yes, very funny.

The bottom line is, this has now brought back memories that people would rather forget. Some have been re-traumatised. There is an ongoing inquiry which is heart rendering.
If these people get prosecuted by the police so be it, if they don't then by the grace of God the actual perpetrators who caused this inferno by allowing the cladding to be put on the building in the first place will be brought to justice and dealt with by the full force of the law.
With all due respect, unless you were there, unless you have first hand experience of how this has affected the local community and people from all over the UK who lost loved ones in that fire in one of the most horrendous ways possible, it matters not whether this video was racist, it matters even less whether it has anything to do with limiting people's freedom of speech, what matters is the profound effect that it has had on the survivors and the emergency responders who attended on that night .....and that is quite simply cruel in the extreme.

Why do people say Islamophobic and not anti-Muslim like anti-Semites?
a slippery slope logical fallacy that if a person says , A , B , or C as a statement of opinion , then this will lead to event X, Y, or Z happening as certainty .

If nothing is certain why does the law , claim it as such?
if we humans were just a little bit more aware and present, then we would have no need for these laws !
but our system is set up to make sure we arent present or aware, and we just keep working for the machine !
