Quite.

I burned all my back copies of "Razzle" and "Big Jugs Monthly" outside the local Mosque and not an eyelid was batted.

Strange old times we live in.

Yes, I’d have thought eyebrows would be raised, same if you’d done it outside a church or school, think it’s frowned upon setting things on fire in most public places. Strange though that if you wanted to burn your jazz mag selection why not just do it at home, or in your garden?

That was my point in that I was agreeing with your inference before <ok>

I could burn any book or flag I own and not be arrested, it’s really not that difficult.

You would not be arrested for burning the book or the flag but you might be arrested for (allegedly) committing some other offence depending on where you did the burning.

Even if you had a bonfire of books and flags in your own back garden you might be sanctioned under environmental health laws (depending on what materials the flags are made from) and if the smoke is drifting across roads or causing a nuisance to neighbours. Burning your own books and flags in a public place could also see you sanctioned for some public order offence depending on your location.

Correct. If the desire is to burn a book or flag why would I do it in a public place?

Pretty sure I could hang a communist flag outside my house & nobody would mind a swastika perhaps not .

Political correctness gone mad
 
I guess the Syrian guy in Sweden was still upset his family got murdered by muslims for being Christians.

Just get over it for the sake of diversity.

Nothing says religion of peace like shooting someone in the head for burning a book

You know we have tarrifs of up yo 48% on some US Goods?

As we do not have a trade agreement with the United States, goods imported from there are subject to the UK Global Tariff arrangement and will have the same level of import duty as other nations.

At present there is an import duty of up to 56% on suspension poly vinyl chloride from the United States to prevent it being dumped on our market. That tariff runs for five years until 2030.

You can fly the flag of any organisation of which the United Kingdom is a member, the flag of any recognised nation, the flag of any recognised constituent part of the United Kingdom (e.g. the flag of Cornwall, Lincolnshire or Yorkshire) without requiring consent.

You cannot fly the flag of a proscribed (terrorist) organisation so you will have to keep your ISIS flag indoors. You may be made to remove your Nazi flag if somebody complains that it causes them offense.

If your two flags are on flagpoles then you cannot put up any more as the limit on flagpoles is two.
