00:00Right, okay, so Graeme and Ray, we're here at the Barbeacon War Memorial.

00:07As you can see, it's been, you know, the top of it is just completely destroyed.

00:12What are your thoughts? What are your thoughts on what's happened?

00:15It looks like somebody's been having a barbecue on it and not realising that people when they visit the War Memorial,

00:22which is a destination spot to visit, that they've ruined the map and they've ruined it for everybody who visits

00:29the War Memorial.

00:31Yeah, what about yourself?

00:33To me, I think it's just another sad indictment of broken Britain.

00:37People are just not thinking, they're not considering what the effects of what their enjoyment could bring.

00:43If this is any form of sick kind of enjoyment, I do not know.

00:47I find it a total disgrace.

00:49Just four weeks, three, four weeks away from our celebration days with regards to November, I think it's a disgrace.

00:58I mean, because it's a War Memorial, it's like setting fire to a gravestone really.

01:02It is, it is.

01:03It's desecrating, it's desecrating the area.

01:06Yeah.

01:07Can you hear it?

01:08Yeah.
