Petition Action

Make it a criminal offence to destroy or deface the British flag

Petition Details

Make it a criminal offence to destroy or deface any British flag and be upheld and governed by the British public and police forces

Additional Information

Being British and proud to be British is becoming harder to display your patriotic values in our own country, and is being discriminated and unjustified for showing your proud, the values and standards of our country are in question and I fear that this movement will bring back a sense of pride to be in our country and uphold that value to freely fly our great country flag without prejudice and protect the right to fly our flag that our forefathers have died to protect for generations it is not just a flag, it our identity and must be protected.
