Thinking about it, better that they destroyed the poppies than stole them and then used them to steal money off people who thought they were Poppy Appeal collectors. But that would have probably been too much like hard work.

The problem with thieving scum these days is they are not content with just taking valubles, they have to cause damage which increases the heartache and misery, vindictive little f uckers and should have their hands chopped off if caught, they wouldn't do it again. I'd quite happily sharpen one of the machete's off my vehicle CES and oblige.

And just to balance the scales, if not carried out by Muslim youths then the only other group it could be is... Chav scum.

I don't think probably, but certainly possibly. More recently the Remembrance Sunday parades (that the poppies are synonymous (sp) with) have featured people returning from wars in "Muslim" countries. Therefore, for the twisted, this could be a legitimate target for them. However, it is equally possible it is just chav scum who think this is perfectly normal behaviour. And I am sure that people can think of other possibles as well.

The church my Dad helps run's hall was broken in to, some years ago, and all-bar-one of the organisation lockers ransacked. Stupidly but thankfully, they missed the church safe which had been left shut but unlocked. Interestingly, they left the masons' locker well alone ...

Ned scum, that lot.

Yes I totally agree there could be many other possiblities but given the fact this just appears to be a vindictive act of senseless destruction aimed at the very symbol of Britains Armed forces then I would definately level this at one of the 2 groups I mentioned in my first post.

Bazzinho1977 said more eloquently what I was trying to say in my post - I don't deny that it's a possibility that it was 'religiously' motivated (probably more 'fundamentalist nutjob' than 'religiously' in that case, and we all know how many of those there are in the world) but I still reckon that it's likely to be feral scum with no morals.

However, whoever it was should still be set on fire and put out with a shovel.

It gets my vote as a way of setting an example.

I concur, couldn't have put it better myself.

Far too much debate on their mindset and other "problems" going on here.

To the theme Raw Hide.

"Don't need to understand them, just find them and brand them... right across their eyes..... No EYES!!!"

Little fcukers.

They need finding and then given lots of hard labour, a trip to the nearest Army base to be ragged and the RSM himself can "educate" the little cnut bubbles as to the history of the poppy.

Followed by a 3000 word (or at least collections of grunts and sylables) apology to the RBL, and finally they will be chained to lampposts and forced to sell the poppies.... release only on the handing in of £500 sterling. Theft of the boxes doesn't count, so if their freezing their malnourished testees off in January 2010, oh dear, how sad, never mind.

Then kill them and feed them to pigs.. no real reason, I just like feeding pigs. And of course my mind is tainted by the films Hanibal and Snatch.
