Rejected petition Make the Burning of the Union Jack illegal.

This petition is to amend the Treason act to include the Burning of the Union Jack. This would apply to all British Realms.

More details

This was brought up after a video circulating on Facebook of a man attempting to burn the Union Jacks on the War memorial. I believe that the burning of our Great flag is traitorous and directly going against this great nation.
