Context is everything. Whilst what he did was hardly a flogging offence, the picture of him urinating next to the memorial to a very brave man did cause massive outrage in the country. It was an aggravation to the part he played in a far-right, racist semi-riot.   My opinion is that his punishment, taking into account the remorse he showed which I took at face value, was proportionate. It wasn't so much the peeing as the outrage to public decency that he caused.
