lavrentis Posted 28 May 2013 Posted 28 May 2013 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=cf4_1369611265 Is this illegal then?
Guest Bilo Posted 28 May 2013 Posted 28 May 2013 It's bovine excrement. http://manchestergazette.co.uk/video-of-woman-apparently-being-arrested-for-holding-british-flag-goes-viral/
leicester_singh Posted 28 May 2013 Posted 28 May 2013 It doesn't show why the police showed up in the first place. If she was arrested for just holding the Union Jack then that is wrong, but she may have been saying something wrong?
indierich06 Posted 28 May 2013 Posted 28 May 2013 The flag had a load of racists EDL shit written all over it apparently.
Guest MattP Posted 28 May 2013 Posted 28 May 2013 The flag had a load of racists EDL shit written all over it apparently. Nice to know a bit of racist EDL shit will get you nicked whilst a 'behead those who insult Islam' banner will get you police protection.
MooseBreath Posted 28 May 2013 Posted 28 May 2013 Only speculation but apparently all that was written on the flag was "no more mosques". Not an arrestable offence in my most honest opinion.

AdamN Posted 28 May 2013 Posted 28 May 2013 If someone really has been arrested for that then it's time for us all to get scared. Well not really, seeing as most of us wouldn't be moronic enough to brandish flags saying "no more mosques" on them.
Guest MattP Posted 28 May 2013 Posted 28 May 2013 Well not really, seeing as most of us wouldn't be moronic enough to brandish flags saying "no more mosques" on them. You have completely missed the point, you shouldn't having your liberty taken away for being a moron.
Fox92 Posted 28 May 2013 Posted 28 May 2013 We have to put up with them holding signs up like 'youre 911 will come Europe', we have to watch poppies being burnt etc then someone complains because someone holds a flag with a bit of edl stuff. Only in our Country.
Finnegan Posted 28 May 2013 Posted 28 May 2013 "At no point was she arrested or did she have her union flag taken from her." Read a bit before being outraged, people.
AdamN Posted 28 May 2013 Posted 28 May 2013 You have completely missed the point, you shouldn't having your liberty taken away for being a moron. This would surely fall under the category of inciting racial hatred, though. Wouldn't you be calling for a Muslim to be punished if he was holding a flag saying "no more churches"? And yeah, what Finners said.
davieG Posted 28 May 2013 Posted 28 May 2013 Apparently she didn't have a fireproof certificate for it.

Not at all, we live in a free country that should allow open freedom of speech against religion. Apparently she didn't have a fireproof certificate for it. "At no point was she arrested or did she have her union flag taken from her." Read a bit before being outraged, people. I can't find that, doesn't seem to be an article. edit: Got it, would be interested to know what was on the second flag, it should have been very extreme, worse than the lines of quotes mentioned by Choudarys lot to be taken off her. Otherwise the Police will leave themselves open to all sorts of accusations.

AdamN Posted 28 May 2013 Posted 28 May 2013 Not at all, we live in a free country that should allow open freedom of speech against religion. Then you'll be happy to learn that the part about her being arrested was complete bollocks!

The very first reply to this thread, if anyone had actually bothered before getting upset and posting indignant melodrama.
Captain... Posted 28 May 2013 Posted 28 May 2013 "At no point was she arrested or did she have her union flag taken from her." Read a bit before being outraged, people. But a pregnant woman got arrested, for having a union flag, there was a video and everything, it's even on facebook, why are you not outraged? Don't let facts get in the way, there is a VIDEO! SHE'S PREGNANT!

MooseBreath Posted 28 May 2013 Posted 28 May 2013 Arrested or not, the fact is that police took action against a woman holding a flag with words written on it. If the words were "no more mosques" then it is still a worrying, if not at all surprising incident.
Fox92 Posted 28 May 2013 Posted 28 May 2013 They need to find the person/people that wrote 'Islam' on our Bomber Command Memorial. That is a disgrace.
brockmyster Posted 28 May 2013 Posted 28 May 2013 They need to find the person/people that wrote 'Islam' on our Bomber Command Memorial. That is a disgrace. Anyone who even touches war memorials should have their bollocks cut off imo
steveherbe Posted 28 May 2013 Posted 28 May 2013 They need to find the person/people that wrote 'Islam' on our Bomber Command Memorial. That is a disgrace. Yeah, but they wont do that will they? Might offend a minority group/religion - if you know what I mean.
