Yes they have, and were rude and unhelpful when she went in to tell them they have no right to put it there.

By the way, if your sign's damaged, as a result of it being thrown over, please fell free to attempt legal action.

My mum will happily take you on.

Right at the base of the memorial, hiding what's written on there, and the flowers and poppies.

I don't think anyone would complain if you just went over there and ripped it down, providing of course, you then take the said rubbish and deposit it in the front door of this 'Global Conference Centre'.

She pulled it down, it's on the floor..

I suspect if she ever sees it there again she'll be off to get herself better tools, for her next assualt on it.

I've just been past the War Memorial and didn't notice it - presumably because she'd already taken it down by then.

I haven't been in Global since it was taken over by another church. I had misgivings about the motives of the new owner and felt that it was too money orientated.

I can see a story for the Observer/LT here.

Thanks for the offer, but when her gander's up Mike Tyson wouldn't stand a chance.

I think it should be deposited up the rear end of the guy who put it there. Way to go Garinda's mom

What needs to be said has already been amply elucidated by Garinda so I'm not jumping on the bandwagon just to try and look good.

It certainly wouldn't have gone down well in Rishton and there wouldn't have been any question of leaving it on our memorial for more than a few hours.

I rather think Garindas mother was a bit more 'proactive' than your local voters, instead of waiting a "few hours" I think the 'Lady' with a Capital L (from whats been posted earlier) took immediate action , and kudos to her.

There was something seriously bugging me last night when I read this and about 3am this morning I suddenly awoke, remembering. It's this:

Desecration of War Memorials Bill

I'm pretty sure the Queen has not signed off on this yet because the bill was put on ice due to the election. I may be wrong. If it is now law then there should be a full police investigation and the character(s) who did this should be sent down for 6 months ( not enough, in my humble opinion).

Thanks for finding that.

I'll probably get into bother for mentioning it on here.

My mum would only resort to speaking to the press, and making a fuss, if she ever saw it there again, which hopefully it won't, now various things have been set in motion, thanks to the assistance of some people who've read this thread.
