I think there is a time and a place mate. I think offending people during a time of great sorrow and remembrance is not acceptable at all.

If they want to offend people on their own time then fair enough, Just not during events like Armistice and Remembrance day.

I think I may well agree, its very tricky the old line between freedom of expression and the hurt of other people.

Interesting subject though and I certainly dont aprove of their actions

It has started.

I am sure it will die down however there does seem to be a worrying anti immigration trend emerging.

I doubt it will die down any time soon. But don’t you see mate. If our authorities had shown they’ll come down hard on issues like this then there wouldn’t be an anti immigration feeling. Right now they are burying their heads in the sand, unwilling to offend anyone and this is the result.

And you cannot blame Britons for feeling this way. If your leaders are not willing to tackle the problem then who else will. You will that’s who, you will seek out fellow like minded individuals. That is why there have been revolutions in the middle east. Once the mob lose faith in their leaders trouble usually follows.

At the end of the day the law is the law and they were prostituted within those confounds. I would be more worried if they bent the law just to go with public opinion.

people like that don’t deserve to be part of our culture if they’re not going to show it complete respect.

do you respect all parts of “english” culture then?

i can’t think of anything that i don’t show respect to, even though i might not agree with all of it. i think it’s sad that people like that live to incite hatred, how twisted and wound up they must be. i don’t really even agree with most wars, but the poppy is symbolic of all the people who gave their lives (the MOST precious thing anyone can own). i don’t think it’s right that these people can show such disrespect to that and get away with a £50 fine. imagine how hurt the families of those soldiers and those war veterans must feel.

I think they would probably point out how many people we killed in their country and suggest that the burning of a symbol is a tad less disrespectful than blowing up children.

I can think of a few things that our part of our culture that I dont show respect for, wife battering and drunken friday night violence to name but two.

Not having a go at all just trying to put across how perspective is everything and how our laws protect rights not popularity.
