No punishment. I didn't realise we had areas outside of religious buildings where you had to behave differently in England for religious reasons. If we reversed the roles to being white people saying and doing the same things to brown people they would have been locked up for Racial Hatred crimes instantly. This is where resentment begins, in trying to be PC our Police/courts start to cause resentment, hence the swing in voters turning to Nationalistic parties.

If they were fined, they were punished, no? It's not like the same kind of thing doesn't get hurled at muslims, and not always being handled seriously. I definitely get how saying something like that and burning poppies is offensive, but it depends on backstory also. If it's a reaction to something British military have done in their country of origin, I suspect the story have two subjective sides. As for the charity runners, were the stone throwing offenders not punished because no one did anything, or because lack of evidence or what? That part needs some clarification, methinks.
Overall, I blame the fear mongering media more than anything else, for this shift in voting which is a trend pretty much all over Europe right now.
