Petition Criminalise threatening behaviour towards British military personnel.

More details

We see our brave military personnel being aggressively targeted in public too often.

Threatening, abusive and insulting behaviour is absolutely unacceptable in a civilised nation.

We have legislation which prevents antagonism based on racist & religious grounds. Our heroic military personnel deserve equal protection.

We need a robust & moral stand against any individual who openly attacks our Armed Forces ~ verbally; through signs or over the Internet.

The aim is to secure primary legislation (a full range of offences akin to religiously aggravated offences) with stiff penalties to deter & incarcerate people with intolerant attitudes towards our military personnel.

Our Armed Forces are a significant part of our heritage & proud history. They have protected our freedom for centuries. They deserve our support.
