Caporegime
Lee Rigby's unofficial memorial has been removed by the council because it looks 'unsightly'. The decision was taken after discussions with local residents who didn't like it.
Rigby has a permanent memorial but it's quite far from the spot where was killed and many friends, family and others have continued to place flags, messages, tributes etc at the spot where was brutally murdered.
I dont know what to make of it. The flags dont impinge on houses, It is an estate full of flats and the tributes are on railings along the main road. It has previously been vandalised. I do have a worry that the vandalism and objections come from people of a more extremist nature who simply object to the remembrance of a British soldier and English flags. I dont know how they can deem it unsightly to the area, it's a total ****hole anyway. On the other hand, how long does this go on for? He has a permanent memorial, isn't that enough?
What do you think? right or wrong decision? Lets not turn it into one of those threads please. Whats your view on the actual decision taken by the council?
