Stop the burning of Irish Flags in Northern Ireland on the 12th of July.
Anywhere else in the UK, anyone caught burning the flag of a foreign country would be convicted of a hate crime. However, in Northern Ireland every year on the 12th of July, members of the Loyalist Community celebrate by burning the flag of my grandparents homeland.
Please stop this racism!

You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Policing and justice policy in Northern Ireland is devolved. That means that it is the responsibility of the Northern Ireland Executive, not the UK Government and Parliament.
