Rejected petition Make the Burning of the Union Jack illegal.

Rejected on 5 August 2020

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

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.
