War memorials are desecrated by looters

SCORES of memorials to Britain's brave war dead have been desecrated by callous looters and vandals
Brass statues and plaques bearing the names of the fallen are being ripped from their fittings and melted down so they can be flogged for SCRAP.
At least THREE treasured monuments are looted, vandalised or destroyed every WEEK. The sick thefts are fuelled by the rising price of metals during the recession. Read More HERE

Sadly in the UK this behaviours has been going on for years, it is only because of the looming Remembrance day that the media has picked up on this disgusting act again. It says “Their Name Will Liveth On.” but not on these War memorials that have been stolen for their scrap metal value as once the names are gone they are GONE forever. People risk doing this because any punishment would be pathetic and so it will continue. There are some Countries in the world where this will not happen as the punishment would be the ultimate one. I would suffice with cutting their hands off and branding them on their foreheads the word THIEF. We have no right to call ourselves Great Britain any longer as we have failed our most precious citizens.
