Debate rages over poppy burning arrest
Dear idiots at @kent_police, burning a poppy may be obnoxious, but it is not a criminal offence. I hope http://t.co/9COzye3D is incorrect.
From @DavidAllenGreen on Twitter:@davidallengreen @kent_police is it not that the Poppy was burnt but for what the statement in doing so meant?
From @stevewood67 on Twitter:Man arrested for posting picture of burning poppy on Facebook. I agree it's disrespectful but criminal? http://t.co/X0UxF89F #kentpolicefail
From @Follow_Dave on Twitter:There is strong debate on social networking sites on whether Kent Police were right to arrest a 19-year-old man from Kent over posting a photo of a poppy burning on Facebook. He is currently being questioned by officers on suspicion of an offence under the malicious communications act.
