4ft swastika and human excrement smeared on British war memorial in 'despicable' act of desecration
· 16-year-old arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage
I just don’t know where to begin…….
Do I get mad at the 16 year old that did this (and the countless others that urinate on Cenotaphs or steal the Roll of Honour off of memorials up and down the country) for being so ignorant as to commit this disgusting crime, or do I get mad at the people responsible for our school curriculums etc, that have all but removed any lessons that might actually instill a modicum of respect and understanding of what these memorials actually stand for, or do I get mad at the media that bury a story like this at the very bottom of the online page where the majority of people don’t even bother to read down to (because looking at online newspapers is usually something one does for speed and convenience) when it should be blazoned on the front page in total outrage that such a thing should ever happen in this country where so many, gave so much, for so few!; and this just one week from Remembrance Day which is the only time you can be certain that people are indeed remembering!
The Daily Mail says that ‘thefts from war memorials have more than doubled since last year, with vandals now targeting them at the rate of one every two days’ and that ‘
Earlier this month, vandals knocked over the First World War memorial in Prestbury, near Cheltenham’ to give just two more examples…
I for one am ashamed to be British at the moment.
