Outrage!

A solid silver cross was snatched from the altar in a chapel at Manchester Cathedral where it had stood for more than 50 years commemorating the building’s devastation in a wartime bombing raid.


A spate of thefts of bronze plaques from war memorials has led to calls for tougher action against rogue scrap dealers blamed for encouraging the plunder in the UK.  Although this scurge is global.



What slovenly mind would desecrate memorials for transient cash? ... how banal ... how uninspired.
