On the 11th September 2010 (Remembrance Day) a man who belongs to the faith of Islam, stood in Central London and BURNED poppies. People wear poppies as a sign of respect for the war heroes in our great nation, and to burn them is just absolutely repulsive. This man, went to court on Monday 7th March 2011. His sentence? FIFTY QUID. This is an outrage, more needs to be done. So we have set up this online petition against the man with no respect. Please, help us with this something needs to happen to this man. Thank you.
The massive surge in support for this petition shows that the public is done with this pathetic slap on the wrist. We are forcing these officials to see that a fifty pound fine for such a repulsive act is an insult to every veteran who served this country. Keep the pressure on because they clearly have no intention of taking this seriously without us forcing their hand.

This is our country and our history he has no right to disrespect the fallen like that. Should have been much harsher punishment.

Absolute joke of a justice system. Paying 50 quid for that? Disgraceful.

My grandfather died for this country and seeing this makes me sick. He should be ashamed of himself truly disgusting behavior.
