Mr Bussetti, of South Norwood, had denies sending"grossly offensive" material via a public communications network.
Asked who the characters on the effigy were, he said they were"the majority of people that were at the party" who had all found it"funny". The father-of-two said he shared the footage with about 20 people on two WhatsApp groups but he had never intended it to go further. It was revealed another video of the model being burned was taken by someone else and posted to a separate WhatsApp group, which the defence claimed had not been disclosed to them.
Unlucky BBC 😂😂😂.
What a waste of time. Being a twat is not a crime
Good
it was fucking disgusting but IS NOT ILLEGAL AND NEVER SHOULD BE
Because hurt feelings isn't a crime. It was fucking out of order yes... But a crime? No.
It's all about facts I guess. They couldn't be certain he took/made the footage.
Bad taste is not an offence, complete waste of everyone’s time
Offending someone should not be a crime, speaking should not be a crime, speaking is a natural development of the human body.
How did you people once rule the world?
He was never going to be convicted because we have a sense of humour in this country we are able to laugh at anything that is what makes us the country we are
So I can burn a rainbow flag this november without far left nazis crying offense?
That’s horrifying that it even went to court
Ridiclous it's went as far as it has.
Good, who ever thought it was a good idea to charge them with it needs to shake their head. Yes it's in bad taste, no it's not a crime.
Good
The guy's obviously an idiot but not a criminal.
Victory for common sense. Being a monumental prick isn't against the law..... and prosecuting someone for hurting peoples sensitivities is ridiculous. The guy is still a grade A wanker though
offensive to who?
P U B L I C S E R V I C E A N N O U N C E M E N T: the british government has still not convicted all management personnel involved in the installation of the flammable styrofoam 'aluminium cladding' that resulted in 142 casualties (injured/deceased) thanks
You know who jails people for being “offensive”? Nazis!
Good!! I’m amazed though, with all the political correct crp at the moment.
So free speech one. Asked Lammy for a comment yet?
GOOD! jokes no matter how distasteful should never be a criminal offence.
A ridiculous waste of police time and resources.
Why doesn't the UK demand freedom of speech? 🤔 That this was even a legal issue should have alarm bells ringing and everyone should be protesting this shit, but instead Y'all are encouraging kids to skip school to protest against climate change...😦
Who decides what's offensive and what's not? There are more pressing matters than arresting someone who made an out of taste joke.
Good.
JulieBJewellery How is this not offensive material. This is wrong. Law is an ass moment
so it would appear that racist can do what they like. they built this then burnt it laughing it repulsive and it was then posted on line (this is a hate crime) 😟 justiceforGrenfell
How is this even a crime what the fuck r u guys doing over there
Why this was a terrible act building it and burning and fffing laughing. wow the farright can now do what they want
Another waste of public money to keep thr PC brigade happy
He shouldn't have been investigated. Hey BBC, how about you do some work for once and report on actual problems like the fact that our citizens are being arrested for saying things on the internet.
Should never have been in courts in first place...and not everyone has to care about anyone else..
The right-hand of that little character looks like he's making a nazi salute eh CountDankulaTV ? he dodged a bullet there
Where on earth is this not 'grossly offensive' ? Somebody needs to get tough. toosoftoneverything.
What he did was in bad taste but bad taste is not a crime
MexicoRS78 You might have thought someone might have had the common sense not to allow this to get so far as a 'trial'.... incredible waste of money
Not the best joke but should have not got to this, about time the PC brigade got put in place!
Good. Poor taste isn't a crime. This is why the police's obsession with 'hate crime' has become a nonsense. Somebody will always be offended by something, and then claim it's hateful. Tough
Good, no crime was committed. Doing something in bad taste is not a crime.
Good, it was tasteless but if we made that a criminal offence there wouldn't be many of us left free.
He was charged because he shared it in a private whatsapp group, then the media shared it with the whole world?
What a win for freedom of speech. Good job guys
Sensible decision. There was no case to answer in the first place
Try prosecuting the illegal immigrants, fraudsters and illegal sub letting tenants. Oh and the Ethiopian who fled the scene with his bags packed.
Is this corruption anything to do with you MaxHillQC ? Will you be resigning? Pretty appalling don't you think? How can we have faith in the 'justice system' when this blatant manipulation of evidence is allowed to go unchecked?
I've reported this to the police, as l find it grossly offensive.
Because the cpsuk 'Corrupt Prosecution Service' deliberately withheld evidence (again) that didn't help their case. Not the first time is it? Still think they treated TommyRobinson fairly? Corruption
They were very quick to react on this .... far quicker than anything done on Grenfell Tower !!
Crime, simple
Not a crime
Good. Although poor taste; jokes should not be criminalised. Life’s not a d**k- don’t take it so hard.
Absolute waste of court and police time.
Just like bullies, they are of no substance.
The police need to stop being called over hurt feelings
A rare win for freedom of speech.
The fact that you can even be charged with being 'grossly offensive' is a joke. Take offense on the chin, don't jail / fine people for it.
Good. It was a shitty thing to do, but in no way should it be a crime.
What a waste of taxpayer's money and the time of the police
That must be unbearable for anyone working at the BBC. I'm rather happy about that.
Fantastic. As distasteful as it was, it shoukd not be considered illegal.
It was funny. Criminalising jokes is, ironically, clown world stuff. Good, albeit rare, to see common sense prevail.
good, how many millions were spent on this bs
GOOD!!!! 👌
The most grossly offensive aspect of this story is the notion that someone could actually be charged for such a childishly idiotic law in the first place. Britain = Nanny State.
Guess what law shouldnt exist anyways
Good.
It's a clown world...
Typical crap from liberal public sector- needs a massive clear out. Did we ever find out how many illegals in the tower?
Waste of time. Should've just had his head kicked in and be done with it. The little nonce
Agreed. Who is to say what is and isn't offensive? GrenfellTower
Breaking news! Filming a burning cardboard box is not illegal.
So this was a total waste of police time and resources like all things regarding grossly offensive material?. Right got it
A smack in the chops for the liberal lovies
The real travesty is that such laws exist in the first place. The United Kingdom does not have freedom of expression.
Whatever your views on this matter one should also keep in mind CPS institutional policy for habitually withholding disclosure evidence from defence lawyers.
Ok... now clear CountDankulaTV.
Give CountDankulaTV his rights back aswell and maybe I'll think the BBC is something worth paying attention to.
Communications Act of 2003 - Section 127. Posting “grossly offensive” material online. Our laws are in desperate need of change.
Oy! Where your joke licence, bruv?
This will upset all the remainers...... Brexit LeaveMeansLeave
It was a sick joke. A terribly sick joke. But that's what it was.
The UK is a silly place. Lol, you guys can’t even express yourselves or tell jokes without getting arrested.
And a bunch of people just pissed their pants... It's called freedom of speech and expression motherfucker
Anyone other than this guy been prosecuted for Grenfell yet? Nope, didn't think so.
not__vee UK says hello
He's vermin. It was a disgusting act, but not a crime. I guess this ruling makes sense
How much has this cost the tax payer ? Bad taste doesn't need police involvement though.
What a surprise another very rich individual pays a very expensive lawyer to get him off the hook. Our legal system really does appear to look after the wealthy.
Good. A shit tin thing to do but the right decision.
Wonder how many man hours was spent on this ‘case’ which could have been used on real crime
Has anyone being prosecuted for covering the building with plastic inflammable cladding.
The UK is dead
The whole country now knows that he is a complete wanker - and that is punishment enough
Just a stupid thoughtless idiot who doesn't know what his brains are for. And there is a lot of them about.
It’s not a crime in this country to make jokes in bad taste...... not yet anyway
DaveAtherton20 Common sense finally
CountDankulaTV
I doubt if anyone will be brought to book for the real fire.
And some woman stabbing an image of Donald trump also bad taste .. not a massive crime tho
“Grossly Offensive” 🤦🏻♂️
It’s still not too late for you Brits to demand your freedom of speech be codified into law.
Never a criminal offence !
Common sense. It turns out that he effigies were in fact all caricatures of other members of his band of friends. It was all snowflake hysteria.
Well done CPS another lost case of high profile, clowns.
Good
How the hell is being grossly offensive a crime ?
Quick call the rozzers! Someone's feelings have been hurt
God damn right. It shouldn't be down to the state to dictate what is and isn't offensive, it should be the people.
But it was grossly offensive. And it was posted. Hmnn...
How did the UK go from 'stiff upper lip' to 'butthurt snowflakes' so easily
Good , How can it be grosly offensive in a private message, Bloody Ridiculous , shouldn’t of even got to Court !
Another waste of public money. Now the Judge is going after the police
I say they should have been charged. With community service or something. Poor taste isn't an excuse for doing something this horrible, there's no reason to do it.
Damn right waste of time
Omg. I wonder how the guy that got done for a nazi pug joke feels about this? I agree with the verdict btw.
State of the fucking replies on this.
Idiot posts offensive material. MSM spreads far and wide, MSM condems offensive material they've spread to a far wider audience, MSM cover court case and report on outcome. Job done papers sold. MSM now search for another idiot they can raise above the parapet
Good, being a dick isn’t a criminal offence
Now tell the rest of the story; what did the Courts say about the police handling of this case?
The UK needs to be liberated.
Good for him.......
Why just why!!!
Lucky the judge was another gammon, really saved the day for him.
The films codeck will identify the user..
The examples they had chosen for their fancy were most insensitive and the bigger burden of conscience will be with the jokers forever.
Good, ridiculous he was arrested,
Justice
Correct decision. Should never have gone to court.
Glad he cleared up the fact it was a burning little boy dressed as a ninja and not a niqab
You guys really need some free speech protections.
DaveAtherton20 Good, there’s hope yet.
Its sad that you can post something like this and people will be genuinely surprised that he didnt get convicted or fined. The fact that there was even a possibility of him getting fined is sickening. I dont agree with that shit. but he should have the right to do it
So he’s throwing another Halloween party this year right?
Common sense law being applied again. Good
Definitely a waste of public money in prosecuting; but what sort of person would put the time and effort into creating it in the first place, let alone film and post? 🤦🏻♀️
Mrs May was offered a legacy - if she left tiny1% of her money to 200 victims of Hillsborough, Grenfell, Manchester they would have got £1m+ each. She left 000000, but always says she cares. Greedy monster legacy. Thanks dear.
It’s stupid but not criminal act
So, how many times has the elites, politcians, celebrities or those in the media have been investigated, charged or maybe even sentenced for grossly offensive behaviour? I do know most of them depend on that kind of behaviour. That's why UK is a caste system.
Sadly typical and all too common - 'the prosecution was criticised for failing to disclose evidence until the end of the case.'
Right decision, should never have gone to court in the first place.
In poor taste? Absolutely. Should this have gone any further? Absolutely not.
you mean this insane shit wasn't from TheOnion ?
Good now do the same for CountDankulaTV
Grossly offensive yes, illegal no. Should never have gone to court in the first place. Unless a crime is committed, offending people isn't against the law.
Stupid charge. The day we start legislating on what people think is the day we can say goodbye to human freedom once and for all. Bad taste should never be a crime.
lawfare should be illegal
Suprise suprise millionaire cleared of gloating over the death of poor people.
Welcome to little england.
