pathetic, getting expelled and community service and a fine is a joke, he should of got a slap on the wrists at worst..

most of us saw the eejits burning usa flags in london recently, and more upsetting for me the people burning uk flags when soldiers were repatriated, what will happen to them? nothing is my guess, in fear of upsetting someone probably...

It's a shame that it's one rule for some but not others. I think the punishment is fitting just that everyone with a similar crime should get the same.

It does seem strange that there seems to be a law available to stop this type of offence but its not enforced.
British police scared to prosecute in case they upset a migrant minority.

Not sure but im pretty sure i didnt vote for that.

Anyway its half 6 im of to work - taxes to pay ,benefits to fund you know how it goes

iain.

British police management scared to allow bobbies to arrest and put files to the CPS who are too scared prosecute in case they upset a migrant minority.

So some idiots burn a flag, big deal so what, don't see why anyone from any nation would care it's a flag ffs hardly the end of the world, what does it change and what does it prove.

What he did is a gross insult as it would be to any other nation, and he got what he deserved.

There are loads if you search for Porkins Star Wars on Google Images.

Back to the topic; it should be one rule for all, not one rule subjectively applied according to ethnicity.

so all the flag burning muslims that frequent soldiers home comings should be punished in the same way then, right?


our flag and the union jack cop for more burnings and defacings than you could mention but no ones arrested, why?

stinks of making an example of racism to me, totally over the top punishment to appease the minorities again, complete load of bollocks, i wonder if the judge was of the same religion, my mate got less for breaking someones nose ffs!



racism only works if your not white!

"He insisted he had not meant to cause offence".
Is that the best his lawyer could come up with? - sad days indeed.

Scotland has a different judical system to the rest of the UK. it has a law against sectarianism (which this offence, presumable, would come under....?) = hence the different treatment
