Is burning the Union Jack a criminal offence?

Can activists burn the national flag and their passports to renounce their citizenship of a terrorist state like the UK?

I want to know whether I will be arrested if I burn my passport or the Union Jack on an anti-war protest to show my hatred for a country which is perpetrating war crimes in Afghanistan.
