Poppy burners laugh at £50 fine

Vonhelmet · 8 Mar 2011 at 13:59

Meh. The fine is in line with the offence committed under the law.

i dont mind muslims protesting against things such as afghanistan/iraq because i was against it myself and always will be. but burning poppies i feel is a bit extreme because its got nothing related to the events happened in the past 10 years. i can understand why they are angry and they have a right to be angry becuase the UK did invade their countrys based on lies and deception.

Let them do what they want.

However call me if they start stoning people.

You won't need to be called.

Can't the BNP hire half decent photographers who don't make their members look like they've been hypnotised and/or are emotionless robots?

Why, you looking for a job Khaaan?

I think he's just making a point that if an Englishman went to a Muslim country and did something similar he wouldn't get away with it?

Maybe they wouldn't, I'm not sure. My point was the hypocrisy of BNP supporters in calling for punishments and restrictions of freedom which they point to as a failure of many Muslim states.

Maybe it was too subtle for GD

Here's the breakdown of his benefits:

£240 working tax credit
£432 child tax credit
£120 a month child benefit.

In other words, £552 of the money he (actually, that's probably him and his wife) receive are entirely linked to his having children. And he is probably only able to claim Working Tax credit to that level because of the children too. If you had children too, you'd also receive these benefits.

Why does that annoy you?

Wonder what a white person would have got, if he burned the Koran outside a mosque in Bradford etc at Eid ? Probably Max fine then 3 months in the slammer.

Got any evidence to back that up?

Not a single person got convicted following the let's all draw Mohammed excitement.

Clear case of a judge without powers in this particular instance. I'm sure the judge felt powerless?

Still I bet that guy who's now been on TV, name available etc. I wouldn't want to be him about now.

Disagree with whatever you want but taking a shot at a ceremonial time is cheap and nasty, without brave soldiers laying down their lives to protect we'd live in a disturbing world, ala WW2, no matter where you live or were brought up, or religion.

Off topic, but is griffin cross eyed in that picture?

Possibly. Remember that he has a glass eye, which presents certain aesthetic challenges of its own.

Because he gets child tax credit? lol.

The only punishment suitable for this very disturbed person would be:

Forced feed him on Pork sandwiches in wholemeal bread with light mayonnaise and sliced tomatoes topped with a light sprinkling of ground black pepper, for two weeks.

YUMMMMMM

He's not getting the crackling, I'm having that.
