This act is pure evil. I hope they can be found and shamed. Disgraceful.

I dont think they would have targeted the War Memorial if they didn't understand what they were doing JaneJudge

In my view there would have been a certain amount of planing to this action, and have chosen this memorial because they realise exactly what the reaction will be.

So why the war memorial? I mean, to what end?

Just thinking, I wonder how many cameras are around there?

Sickening lack of respect and mindless vandalism.

JaneJudge Mon 14-Nov-22 18:42:44

I am hoping it has been done by people who do not understand the significance of what they have done

Disgusting behaviour by mindless idiots.

Thank you Aveline

Yes to mindlessness/envy/no engagement with real life/people, unless sinister...but I cant think of a sinister group for this?

I suspect so too volver. It's on my mind as I had just read this sad Sassoon poem about just such a daft lad.

Name and shame these idiots, hit tgem where it hurts, their pockets. They are a disgrace.

volver Mon 14-Nov-22 17:35:50

What kind of person would do that? Do they know what it means? I'm going to guess daft laddies. I don't mean that to sound like I'm excusing them, it's shocking.

Awful. There are some very unpleasant people around.

maddyone Mon 14-Nov-22 17:27:10

Horrid.

Blossoming Mon 14-Nov-22 17:25:06

Just vile.

Aveline Mon 14-Nov-22 17:16:07

I'm sure CCTV will be being scanned. I just wonder if it was mindless vandalism by bored, thick, people or more meaningfully by, well, people with an unpleasant agenda.

Disgusting doesn`t go far enough!

GrannyGravy13 Mon 14-Nov-22 17:03:10

I hope the culprits get the full force of the law thrown at them

Grannybags Mon 14-Nov-22 17:00:10

Words fail me 😡
