I'm going to say again, because some people think I (and others) are defending the boneheads who did this - I'm not, they are scum. But there wasn't the same outrage when Muslims burned poppies. They were also charged with a public order offence, and fined £50. Poppies represent people who've died, is someone going to tell me that's not the same thing either?

It was a deplorable act, but people's reaction is over the reaction is over the top. Should we now monitor every private party now, in case someone's doing something we don't approve of?

agree with that, the other thing about this while deplorable is why it made the top story on the London news when four stabbings since Halloween and the Mayor saying it would take a decade to tackle knife crime in London (in other words not on my watch) was pushed down the ranks

also with regard to the private party comment, yes it was but they made it public when the shared it online, whether that was shared by someone who didn't agree with what was going on or by someone who thought it was hilarious remains to be seen
