A CRYING SHAME
A war memorial dedicated to the Dambusters has been trashed by vandals who scattered rubbish around the site and daubed the monument with eggs, yoghurt and flour.

Hmmmm:

A crappy thing to do, but no real harm.

In stark contrast to a couple weeks back, when the entire propellor atop the Mosquito Aircrew Memorial was cut off and stolen, likely for its value as scrap metal.

They still deserve a few quiet moments "discussing" this with the business end of a baseball bat.

Both of those vandilistic acts should be thoughoughly investigated and the perps severely beaten.... Rippin off fingernails is always a good start...
