Poppy Burner on Remembrance Day Gets £50 Fine

David Cameron today angrily rebuked the court that let off the man who burned a poppy with a paltry fine of just £50.

The Prime Minister told the Commons that a "stronger statement" should have been made to show public disgust at the man's action.

"I think to many of us, you look at something like that and feel that we should be making a stronger statement that the sort of behaviour is out of order and has no place in a tolerant country," he said.

Mr Cameron admitted that it was difficult for anyone who was not in court to hear all of the evidence to criticise the sentence but his comment made clear his personal distaste for the way the case was handled.

He was speaking at Prime Ministers Questions in response to Conservative MP Jake Berry, who said anyone who burned a poppy would cause anguish to the families of soldiers killed or hurt in action.

British citizen Emdadur Choudhury, who reportedly receives almost £800 a month in state benefits, set light to poppies on Remembrance Day yelling "British soldiers burn in hell".

Choudhury, from Bethnal Green, was found guilty of using threatening or abusive words or behaviour by District Judge Howard Riddle, following a one-day trial last month.

The maximum fine possible was £1,000, plus legal costs, and Judge Riddle said he had no doubt Choudhury had set out to shock and offend. However he fined him only £50, plus a £15 victim surcharge - less than a parking ticket.

War veterans were outraged by the soft sentence but the 26-year-old father of two declared: "I don't have any respect for British soldiers, and if they lose a limb or two in Afghanistan then they deserve it. You expect me to feel sorry for them? Of course I don't."

The fine was reportedly being paid for him by Anjem Choudhury, a firebrand preacher. Choudhury, a part time satellite engineer, earns £480 a month and receives a monthly total of £792 in state benefits, including £240 working tax credit, £432 child tax credit and £120 a month child benefit.

During the two-minute silence on Remembrance Day he was caught on camera unfurling several large plastic poppies and dousing them in petrol before setting them alight.

The protesters, who had gathered near the Royal Albert Hall close to the finish of a charity walk to commemorate service personnel, also repeatedly yelled "Burn British soldiers, burn in hell".

English Prime Minister, although he is sharing power with Nick Clegg, so who the fuck knows who is running the country.
