[Brighton] This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

In the past few days...

Flower planters smashed in London Road



Cherry saplings snapped in Preston Park



What kind of feral twunt DOES that?

What gives?

Thus it ever was.

trees planted in a park near us recently are caged. primarily to protect them from footballs!

hopefully the planters will be under surveilance cameras?

bring back the stocks.

If it's there to be stolen or broken, it will be.

Sadly scummers have no social conscience. This can be brats or smashed up adults.

Maybe one day someone will damage something that these morons cherish, and maybe then they might understand what utter twats they'd been. But I doubt it.

You’d hope that cctv will nab them but the thin blue line will have other priorities like nabbing people like Johnson who also doesn’t give a sh*t. It hasn’t always been this rife. What a world we live in.

I really don't understand the mentality or mindset of people who enjoy vandalising things, and smashing them up; what kind of sick pleasure can be derived from such anti-social yobbery?

Problem is, the twunts who do this sort of thing would probably beat-up or stab anyone who challenged them, so decent people keep their heads down or look the other way, so the scum know they can act with impunity; no-one dare try to stop them.

I saw the damaged trees on Monday and had to explain to my 7 year old grand daughter that some people were do these things her comment back was But why do they do it...

This is exactly right. So it is incumbent on those who are paid to protect people and property ie the police to deal with these issues. But they won't. Dealing with acts of vandalism like this is what we have PCSOs walking the beat for. Did I say "walking the beat"? I meant driving round in ner-ners playing at Starsky & Hutch.

Hopefully not their brains which are already damaged.

Maybe in BN3, out here in civilised RH20 it isn't...

On a serious note, violence is on the rise, people are angry. This is largely due to hardship. When we are ruled by people out of touch and clearly don't follow their own rules, you can't be surprised when chaos hits the streets. Far worse things to come then a few plants being smashed I'm afraid people.

That's right, shit on your own doorstep because that will put things right...

Sorry, but that's just BS thinking

Yes. People are angry. I don't in anyway think it likely that the people who carried this out were politically engaged enough that their anger was triggered by lockdown breaches in Downing St. But 10 years of government policy that strips wealth from the young and gives it to the old, as they are more electorally important, is never not going to have an effect.

All this stuff is about inequality at the end of the day isn't it. Inequality of education, housing, opportunity. The end result is that swathes will feel as though they have no stake in society. But hey ho, more people to demonise. People will get less angry with further cuts in services that way

I think the point being made is a lack of respect, a lack of care and a distinct lack of morals.

That is all trickling down, not just from parents but from the very top.

That made me so angry. I spent a bit getting a couple of memorial trees planted, I was worried for quite a while that some dick would snap them in 2 one evening, they are probably big enough now for that not to be so much of a risk.

In the same day’s news, we are losing 100-200 Ash trees in Withdean Park so the fact that some still want to get their kicks this way by vandalising the few new trees we do get seems somehow even worse than normal.

This has been going on at Patcham Peace Garden for years. There’s some sick little blighters out there being encouraged by the very people who make the rules. The sooner Johnson and his cohorts get out or are thrown out the better and we can get some people in who have morals, are honest and will set good examples.

I take your point, but in this instance I think you may be reading too much into it. If the perps are caught and asked why they did it I'll wager a lot of money that the answer won't be along the lines of it was a protest against Partygate and a rich and out-of-touch Tory elite. They're far more likely to give an answer along the lines of the one Luther gave in The Warriors when asked why he'd shot Cyrus: "No reason; I just like doing things like that!"
