No, but we should investigate those who do burn it to determine whether or not they have any criminal intent.

 @9ZSRHLCanswered…2wks2W

Yes. However only if it is done in a public place. If it is an individual or small number of people it should be met with a dispersal order and treated as anti social behaviour. If done as a large group or protest it should be considered the same as a threat of violence.

 @9QNVR83answered…5mos5MO

Yes, it’s dangerous, environmentally unfriendly and makes us look like a 3rd world country where mobs are always burning flags.

 @9Q8V98Vanswered…5mos5MO

No, I don’t respect or approve of the action of anyone who does but they should have the right to do so

 @9PTGGKJanswered…6mos6MO

If a person whilst on the soil of any given county, commits the act of burning a flag that represents that country, in a public area, I think they should be charged with a summary offence. If the same act is carried out on private property, whilst distasteful, it should not be an offence.

 @9Q48XWNanswered…5mos5MO

If it is the personal property of the person, they can dispose of it how they choose. Artistic work may include demonstrations or depictions of this activity also. We should reserve the status of criminal actions for those behaviours that directly assault a person's life, property or wellbeing.

Gaza’s flag is always getting destroyed but it’s Israel’s, it’s called terrorism. British flag or not, equality should be everywhere

 @9PQ5JGCanswered…6mos6MO

Not the UK flag specifically but burning items is polluting so in that sense it should be illegal to burn waste.
