Rejected petition Defacing of any of the UK Flags an offence punishable by 15 years prison minimum

All of the Countries making up the United Kingdom have their own flags. Make it an offence to attempt to deface, or deface a National Flag.

More details

The flags of the United Kingdom form a very important Sovereign role, whether it is on land, sea or in the air. Generations of people have fought and died in order that these flags may be flown with reverence and due respect. To deface, or attempt to deface these flags, for example, by setting fire to them shows a complete lack of respect for not only those have have gone before but those that defend us today.
