No but it is disrespectful and shows contempt fo any nation. Maybe a community education or order to teach respect not to spread hate.

 @9JNG5Y4answered…2mos2MO

Any flag should be allowed to be burned, however if violence is being promoted they can face criminal charges

 @9JHYPPSanswered…2mos2MO

Yes, the flag represents the ideals a nation strives towards and the common pursuit of those ideals, not the government or the present state of the nation.

 @9GZM7QFanswered…4mos4MO

Yes, and it should be illegal to burn any nation’s flag

It is an intentional exercise in causing upset and distress, if you disagree with a country's politics discuss them or open areas for discussion, simply burning flags is not progressive and solves nothing. Overall it just comes across as ignorant.

 @9BTX993Conservativeanswered…11mos11MO

Yes, the flag of any nation recognised by the UK should be protected, unless it is offensive or illegitimate.

 @9BNXMSYConservativeanswered…11mos11MO

If you're a citizen of the United Kingdom then it should be considered wrong unless in spite or in protest.

 @9BJNJBCanswered…11mos11MO

Yes we need to treat the UK flag with respect like back in the empire days. We need punishments for people that burn our flag.

 @9B5ZM6Yanswered…12mos12MO

No, burning flags of any nation (including the UK flag) shouldn't be a crime so as long as there's no cases of arson/incitement to violence or lawless behaviour.

The flag of the United Kingdom, yes. The flag of Isleland, of course not.

 @98G6GQDanswered…1yr1Y

No, any one who does is a vile person whom I have no respect for but the government doesn't have the right to take away their free speech.

 @98627JWanswered…1yr1Y

 @97ZMKPLanswered…1yr1Y

Yes as long as it doesn’t cause damage to the property or the environment although I would want the Police e.g to investigate why they have done this in case they are being extremist.

 @96YDX2Tanswered…1yr1Y

In England it should be a crime but in Wales and Scotland local governments should decide if burning a flag is a crime

 @96J75C3answered…1yr1Y

Yes, and they should be fined and aware, so it does not damage free speech but comes at a cost, the punishment should not be too harsh.

 @95WLVS8answered…2yrs2Y

It should be illegal to defame the symbols of allied nations and the Union flag. But the defaming of the English, Scottish, Welsh, or Northan Irish flags should be allowed.

 @95R4T9Ganswered…2yrs2Y

 @95BRHC7answered…2yrs2Y

No. Trying to find everyone who burns a flag would cost a lot of money for the government. And it is a freedom of speech.

 @959JMJVanswered…2yrs2Y

It should be an offense punishable by a 100 pound fine to a 1000 pound fine

 @94KCKFZConservativeanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes but it should be legal only under specific circumstances eg: and art project

 @945K7TRLiberal Democratanswered…2yrs2Y

Public, unnecessary fire raising should be illegal. Defacing a flag for political expression should not.

 @93XGM96answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, if it is on public property such as monuments or a public building

 @92BT8VLanswered…2yrs2Y

Burning a flag (Ireland) can be used as a effective form of protest but certain times it can be used as a flagship for hatred. eg. 12/06 bonfires

 @929JL9Janswered…2yrs2Y

 @8YL937Wanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, and the penalty should be 10 Years imprisonment Without Trial or Appeal.

 @8Y8QMNJanswered…2yrs2Y

No, so long as it is on private property, or in an organised, peaceful anti-government protest. Otherwise, it is a sign that you wish to burn the key principals of UK freedom.

 @8Y8DRBYanswered…2yrs2Y

I couldn't care less about the UK Flag as I am Scottish and republican. However we should have respect for all nations flags.

  @ConnorUnderwoodanswered…2yrs2Y

I believe those who burn our flag should be executed for treasonous acts, and it will be seen as a crime against our country.

 @8Y4RLW7answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but people should be told to give a public opinion of how they feel about the country to help make it better.
