And it's not "just burning a poppy" either. He was probably a muslim. And for those banging on about civil liberties, try looking up what free speech actually means. People also have the right no to be offended by some disrespectful jerk pulling a stunt like this. [/quote] You don't have the right to define how freedom of speech is unless you believe yourself is lawfully superior than others. [/quote] You sound like an Abu Hamza fan. [/quote] So your IQ only stops here if you couldn't give a more intellectual argument? If that was the case I could label you a Adof Hitler fan who likes thought policing. [/quote]
Original Message
Kent Police said in a statement that the man, from Aylesham, had been detained last night on suspicion of making malicious telecommunications and that he was in custody awaiting interview.
The force did not say whether the arrested man actually burned the poppy, or just posted the photo online.
The arrest was met with disbelief on Twitter, where people mounted a fierce discussion over civil liberties.
