iansheff Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I know we are a democracy and a tolerant country but surely this is letting someone take the **** if indeed it is an ISIS flag. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/isis-big-ben-flag-shocking-6005825 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detetcive Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Not certain but I'd guess it's legal. Offensive? Probably Provocative? Likely But is it an ISIS flag and has photo-shopping been ruled out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECCOnoob Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Disgusting it may well be. However, Is it any more "offensive" or "illegal" than some of the contents of the flags, posters and banners that were being wafted around by the Knuckle Draggers in central Sheffield yesterday. What about some of the rude, offensive and hate filled slogans plastered all over the place every time a set of rent-a-gobs hold one of their anti-austerity protests Its a flag. A piece of material. Whether or not it is allegedly showing support for a non legitimate terrorist created "state" the man is doing nothing other than walking through a street. He is not preaching to other people around him. He is not waving the flag in some form of protest. He is not being threatening or aggressive to people around him. He is simply walking through a street. That is not illegal. It seems to me that the Mirror and (not surprising) the Daily Fail are making such an issue of this "story" simply to get internet hits and fuel their standard OUTRAGE. They need to watch themselves, its only a couple of days ago they were having a pop at CNN for doing something similar... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3142221/CNN-confuses-black-white-flag-covered-sex-toy-symbols-ISIS-London-gay-pride-parade.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, who the hell are we to say anything, we are one of the biggest exporters of death and misery in the world. The biggest exporter of terror being our lords and masters the american government. ---------- Post added 05-07-2015 at 19:40 ---------- "Is it ok to walk in London with an "ISIS" flag?" No. Angel1.

JFKvsNixon Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 In answer to the title of the thread - Is it ok to walk in London with an "ISIS" flag? No, and I don't think that many would think otherwise. However, should he be stopped from walking down the road with the flag, that is more debatable. Fascists were allowed to make their point and display their symbols prior and after WW2, and Communists were never stopped from displaying their symbols during the Cold war. So even though we may despise the political message that the individual was making, it shouldn't be illegal to make that message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
