I do think there is a political agenda at play, as to why the BBC have chosen largely to ignore yesterday's outrage.
Part of the problem is that for years the liberal elite have pandered to minority groups, instead of forcing them to integrate.
Historically wave after wave of people have come to these islands, over the centuries. They still managed to keep their cultural identities, and religious beliefs, but they became part of British society.
State funding should be withdrawn NOW, from every group and organisation that differentiates it's self on religious or racial lines. It's divisive, in that it separates, rather than bringing anyone together.
As Mancie posted, everyone in this country should be free to protest.
However, British citizens should not be legally allowed to call for the deaths of our serving armed forces.
Americas' citizens, one of the most racially diverse countries on the planet, turn incandescent with furious rage if someone burns their flag, yet we sit idly by, whilst what made this country great is quickly being eroded.
The sooner our government realise this, and take into account the views of the vast majority of British people, and ignore the snivelling, idiotic, politically correct, wooly headed, do-gooders, who perpetrate division, the better.

I agree with most of this .... esp. the last sentence
But I do have a couple of points. As you are no doubt aware, even though my noisy neighbours do get peed when someone burns their flag, a citizen's right to burn, urinate on, wipe his ass on etc their flag is protected by the First Ammendment. It's offensive, but not illegal. Though I can see, in the poppy burning, elements that go beyond a dispicable action. There is definitely a subversive component.
But I do have problems with the concept of forced integration. There has to be another path, and it is not the one that your government seems to be following now.
