I made a complaint to the met police, about the arrest of EDL members, on rememberance day, yet the islamic fools were allowed to spout their bile, and burn the poppies, the ultimate symbol of respect for the armed forces, past and present. I explained about the extreme offence I took to the act, and explained how I felt the act was an outragious act of indecency, and was done to cause the maximum amout of insult and pain to the British people. Today, I received a reply via email from the Met. Atleast I mean I received a forwarded email, that I assumed was sent out en mass, due to the lack of personalisation. I replied and told them I didnt think they took the issue seriously enough, due to the lack of personalisation in the email, and the fact a 15 year old girl was arrested recently in the Midlands for burning a koran, and charged with insiting racial hatred. Im awaiting the reply!!! Below is the copy/paste of the email from the met. Dear Sir or Madam : Thank you for your recent feedback to The Metropolitan Police Service regarding the public protests in London on 11 November 2010. Chief Superintendent Michael Johnson has released the following statement in relation to this: Thank you for taking the time to bring your thoughts to the attention of the Commissioner. I was the operational police commander for the events of 11 November and I fully appreciate the strength of feeling aroused. Hopefully this response will give you an explanation of the events and the constraints put upon police with regard to the policing of protest. Police were aware that a protest would be held by a pro-Islamic group and that there would be a counter demonstration by the English Defence League (EDL). It is worth pointing out at this stage that police do not and cannot grant authority for any group to hold demonstrations. Article 10 of the Human Rights Act states that everyone has the right of freedom of expression and Article 11 enshrines the right to assemble and peacefully protest. Police do not have any power to ban marches other than in exceptional circumstances where serious public disorder is feared. This would not, and did not, apply to the events on 11 November. Whilst many people observe the two minutes silence on Armistice Day it is not an offence not to do so. Consequently, in the absence of any other substantive criminal offences, police do not have any power to enforce observation of the silence nor power to arrest for failing to do so. The burning of flags is an emotive subject; however, it is not an offence in itself. Police must always maintain an objective view of all protest and can only arrest when there is a legal power to do so and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) can only prosecute when there is a reasonable prospect of conviction. You are aware that two protestors set fire to poppy wreaths. You may not be aware that both these individuals were immediately arrested for public order offences and have been bailed pending a CPS decision on prosecution. Four EDL protestors were arrested for public order offences, one for assaulting police and one for possession of controlled drugs - similarly these individuals have been bailed pending CPS decisions. I hope that you will see that police did take appropriate action on 11 November, within the constraints of the law. Your comments are valued & we trust that this clarifies the current status of this matter.

He/she spends the majority of the missive making excuses as to why they couldn't arrest the jihadists because no offence had been committed, (which is false) then at the end contradicts him/herself and says 2 of them were arrested... what for if no offence had been committed? That's what you get when you talk out of the side of your mouth. |

Quote: The burning of flags is an emotive subject; however, it is not an offence in itself. Unquote. Therefore it cannot be an offence to obtain the black battle flag of Islam and burn it, can it? Is an offence to burn the Holy Bible? If not, then it cannot be an offence to burn the Quran. However, if we did so, the the ob would arrest us for inciting religious hatred, a totally different offence which applies only to us but not to Muslims. |

It IS an offence to disturb the silence of those who are mourning for our dead, and that is the WHOLE fcukING COUNTRY! They were in breach of peace to start with. They caused unbearable offence to the British people. They are not doing free speech, they are spewing FREE HATE! Their freedom ends where mine starts! The police should have stopped them. Tommy did but the police acted in a despicable manner towards him! He did what the police should have done! And they still lied about Tommy attacking them. Tossers!!! If you need a fitting reply to this, please let me know. Glad to help put these imbeciles in their place. |

I say we put it to the test at the next demo. We burn the black flag of Islam (not the Koran). If hundreds of us turned up with black flags of Islam and torched them all at the same time, they couldn't arrest every one of us. If they arrest anyone we ask, why are they allowed to burn the British and American flags, but we're not allowed to burn their satanic flag!? |

The police are simply scared. Muslims are experts in inciting fear and the Met are sh1tting themselves at the prospect of ever arresting a muslim. Just saying the word muslim sends an uncomfortable shudder down their spines. |

It is illegal to make a bonfire in a public place and also at certain times on private land.I should imagine the arrests of the Muslims were for this offence as its not illegal to burn flowers or imitation flowers. |

So if people littered "Muslim areas" with torn out pages from the Koran what would they be charged with? |

Those banners are a direct threat to every person that lives England so surely they can be arrested for making threats to kill? |

The girl that was arrested for burning a koran goes to my daughters school, and a 14 year old lad has been arrested and bailed for making threats. This is the same school where my daughter was told by a muslim lad that when sharia law comes in she will be chained to a sink. So if burning a poppy isnt againt the law why should burning a book be against the law. The police say she is inciting racial hated so what did burning the poppy do? Double standards anyone. |

the police are scum, they are ok to arrest EDL members for nothing, and beat us with batons but they can`t touch their sacred jihadis. |

Article 10 of the Human Rights Act states that everyone has the right of freedom of expression and Article 11 enshrines the right to assemble and peacefully protest. (from OP's letter) Surely this means we have the right to burn the 'demon' book, doesn't it? |

Why can they ban us but not them? So what they are saying is that we need to show a much more violent reaction when we are insulted by these people and then the police will be in a position to stop it! |
| THEY JOINED FOR MANY REASONS, TO MARCH, TO SAIL, TO FLY. THEY WENT WHERE THEY WERE POSTED, BUT NOBODY JOINS TO DIE. THEIR LEADERS TALK ON TV, WHAT ELSE COULD WE HAVE DONE? BUT THOSE LEADERS LOST NO DAUGHTERS, AND NONE HAS LOST A SON. SO HERE'S TO ALL OUR SOLDIERS WHEREVER THEY MAY BE...AND HERES TO ALL THEIR FAMILIES, I RAISE A GLASS TO THEE...WEAR YOUR POPPY WITH PRIDE. | |

''Whilst many people observe the two minutes silence on Armistice Day it is not an offence not to do so'' its also not a offence to burn the koran so why the arrest. |
