Petition Legally classify the burning of poppies as a hate crime

More details

We, the undersigned, petition HM Government to adjust the law to include the burning of poppies, as well as other desecrations of symbols of respect and rememberance, as a hate crime against the organisation it represents; in this case, our war veterans.

As a hate crime, not a freedom of expression, people performing this disgraceful action should be prosecuted.
