I am afraid I do not share some people's passion for our flag, and if people wish to use it in protests, by burning it, then that says something about them, it shows intolerance, bigotry, and extremism.

If we try and declare it illegal to do so, then that says something, about us, and I like to think we are better than that, the freedom that we share under that flag, is worth protecting far more than individual symbols.

OOPS!!! My Karma, ran over your Dogma!

I can't understand the mentality that refuses to recognise the act for what it is.

It is the symbollic annihilation/destruction/murder etc, etc, etc of a nation and its people. That clearly is the meaning imposed by those from the ME.

if you are ok with that yet get riled up when they say something or write something... then you need a priority rethink. it is much more than just spitting in your eye and that would be considered assault.

the freedoms we share under that flag... oh dear it symbolises freedoms... are also destroyed in the act.

It is no less a death threat than having someone write one or tell you to your face. And that's illegal too.

Do try and get it right.

So I take it that you would like to see the defiling, or destruction of flags as a criminal offence Grendel?

I do understand the symbolism in burning a flag, but I do not consider it equivalent to death threats, as you do.

I think some just do it as a protest, to show disgust at particular events, or policies, and I consider that right to protest as something we need to protect.

OOPS!!! My Karma, ran over your Dogma!

Burning flags I dont really care about, so what, they can be criticised, but I probably wouldnt deport someone over it. But those who participate in terror plots should be shot for high treason. That would be my preference.
