Do you think that our local heroes, bless 'em, the poor little mis-understood darlings, have any local pride?
Last summer the scrotes burnt down the bandstand in Oakhill park. Last month, in the very same park, they sprayed aerosol and desecrated the war memorial in memory of people that layed down their lives for this country. A most heinous crime, in my book!
Now what makes you think that any objet d'art, however substantially it is built, will not come under constant attack from our collection of delinquents?

The only reason that the Angel of the North is still standing is because it is constructed from iron of a similar guage to battle-ship plate. The only weapon you could possibly attack it with is a gas axe, and who would want to lug an oxy-acetelene set up that hill that the Angel stands atop?

ALL THIS IS THREAD-ROT.

We should be debating this in the pan-whatever thread, not the Tough Policing thread.
