	See yet again mindless vandals have struck - this time at the above burial grounds - anti-semetic signs/slogans on the headstones in the Jewish Section. The sad thing is they probably have relatives who fought during WW2 against this sort of thing. More and more we hear of burial grounds which are vandalised in some way or another. Why?

	I agree Ann. It's so sad. When vandalism happened at a churchyard near here last year, the culprit was eventually caught. His excuse was that he was bored. They have no thought for the distress caused by their mindless act.

	Years ago he would have had the birch or a short sharp shock in a Borstal - words fail me. Our government bodies etc., are so politically correct they have lost the plot. I'd give him boredom - respect appears in certain areas to have disappeared. Ann
