Waste of police time or not?
A man has been arrested for posting an image of a burning poppy on a social network site.
Certainly a waste of time. Hang him instead
What was the point of winning either World War if, in 2012, someone can be casually arrested by Kent Police for burning a poppy?
Missing the point.If he posted them with intention of causing distress/offence then why would they not, when those men gave their lives for our sake?
Very disrespectful

Exactly, while being a douche-bag may be frowned upon, it shouldn't be illegal.I honestly couldn't care less about someone posting that.
I don't agree with it, and I think it shows that he's a ****, but it's definitely not worthy of an arrest :\
Jesus, is that what the world has come to? Don't show them this forum, loads of us will be screwed.
I don't see how anyone thinks this is deserving of arrest. This country needs a proper bill of rights
People getting arrested for saying things on the internet is getting beyond a joke now, next thing you know free speech will be gone.
