Plymouth Rock Vandalised.

[Khandro]

Something else to get worked up about I know, but isn't sickening? By contrast we are watching BBC 2's Michael Portillo's Rail Journeys in the Far East each evening & the one thing so noticeable wherever he goes in rich or poor areas, is how clean and everything is; no graffiti or litter, why is this?

lol imagine if it was a native american that vandalised it.

[Peter Pedant]

jesus have you never been to Liverpool ?
poor as &&& and and a filty derty place

[pastafreak]

It's a shame there is not a report to go with it. I wonder how they accessed it? It looks enclosed in that video.

[TheDevil]

"It looks enclosed in that video."

Yes, seems an odd place to "Land". How did they jump the fence?

[pastafreak]

Native Americans were trying to keep darn foreigners out...

[bookbinder]

It's quite easy to get over the fence and down to the rock. There are no real barriers to stop anyone doing that. I've been there, and I've seen it.

If only being a moron was against Site Rules

Sadly he would come back again in another guise Khandro.

[Mamyalynne]

Are we not talking about the mindless vandalism then?

It is widespread sadly and even if those doing it claim to have a reason, it is rarely if ever justified.

"If only being a moron was against Site Rules"

You'd be stupid to think that I wasn't joking so this answer is rather ironic and funny :)

[sevenOP]

Shame they didn't keep it Pure, but the 'Manifest' corruption spread throughout their entire 'acquired' Dominion.
Destiny may have been against it ?

[Ken4155]

Are you getting worked up about this Khandro? I'm certainly not. Something that happened thousands of miles away and has no impact at all on my life is of no consequence whatsoever.
And perhaps Portillo only chooses to visit the places free from graffiti and litter. Any accidental camera shots of dirt and such can always be left on the cutting room floor.

[sevenOP]

Ken4155, maybe he is a Christian orientalist ?

[Old_Geezer]

Graffiti seems to be encouraged these days; maybe it's a woke thing or something. So what can we expect ? Society deteriorating: wonder which "civilisation" will take over next.

'Street Art', shurely.

You reap what you sow.

yup he signed it - so was tracked down in the land of a billion people

parents suitably apologetic

[Khandro]

Every time some posters hit their keyboards, it sends out a clear message just how moronic they are, (not unlike those with a spray-cans).

[woofgang]

not a new story....google any the name of ancient civilisation and the word graffitti and you will see its been around since forever https://www.thevintagenews.com/2019/05/06/viking-graffiti/

[Mamyalynne]

That's the second time you've used words such as moron and moronic to posters here.

Remind yourself of the rules about personal insults.

It really does you no favours.
