The Feckin' Dire Thread

Scrap metal salvagers flying under the Chinese flag taking metal from HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse two designated WW2 war graves.

Where is a misfiring drone when you need one.

I've started a petition and hopefully it will gather some pace to end this type of thing happening at any war graves site no matter what country.

Petition: Desecration of two World War 2 war graves of HMS Prince of Wales / HMS Repulse

I along with others want the British Government to end this barbaric practice of plundering the resting place of 840 service personnel graves who gave their lives to serve this once proud country in its hour of need

Alas when this was flagged up back in 2018, then Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson announced that he would be investigating, so what happened about it ? Did he actually do anything at all ?

True. And the biggest and/or cruellest irony is that, had it not been for the bravery shown by all those Allied forces China would have almost certainly have been over-run by the Japanese.

£46 a night to park my car in the hotel car park in
Santa Monica ! Compulsory Valet Service

Parking on the street is not a option.

You have my deepest sympathy there mate (almost)
I mean, all you wanted to do was "have some fun".
Still, had you thought to ask I'm sure that Cheryl and William (or is it Billy, Billy, Mac or Buddy) could have watched it from the bar opposite for a fraction of that price.

Why when a TV programme (This Morning) draws an average of 703,000 viewers (0.95% of UK population) A presenter leaving (Sacked or Resigned) is making headline news?

People prefer celebrity style news to real news.

Probably right, That sort of news takes away from people the reality of how really crap their lives are.
