    to call these people "idiots" is doing idiots an injustice.

    these people are simply"filth"! they are scum. to be honest i cant use the words here that i feel truley describe them. the trouble is, even if the law finds them, nothing will happen. well, poor little jimmy probably had a bad childhood or is neglected at home - Our society stinks and unfortunately it seems to be getting worse.

    people like this should be fed to a baying mob, or better still leave them in a fox hole in afghanistan and watch them crap themselves. a few Taliban bullets heading straight at them may make them see the errors of their ways. Failing that just have them W&%K£$S put down!

    Perhaps if they taught the kids history properly and the fact that with freedom and rights they love to claim come Responsibilities there would be less of this senseless vandalism

    Maybe the council will feel obliged to smarten up the grave plots in the meantime and set a better example of showing respect themselves. Admittedly going by only one photo, it doesn't look like that particular one has received any TLC for a while. Sadly typical of council maintained ones though. Leaving headstones out of it for a minute, I'm sure many of us have seen plots in worse states ... or even 'lost'.

    I think the key word used on another posting is that of "taught" - they don't seem to teach 'em anyfink these days - even unto Girton College Cambridge - of all places - where just ONE of this scum will now be educated in a form which neither he nor his parents envisaged -notwithstanding their millions - to re-enter society an entirely different piece of scum

    Cheers

    As much as I detest this action can I remind that for every one idiot that does this thing there are hundreds of young people that study hard, are in community groups and many, probably of the age of the vandal, serving heroically in HM Armed Forces.

    There is a thread somewhere about praising young people doing good. Can it be bumped up?

    There was a FB post saying it had all been fixed.

    Thanks for the update Owen, I picked it up on the CWGC website whilst searching for a casualty.
