Why would anyone do this ?

[douglas9401]

Protesting the involvement of Isis with the programme?

[bookbinder]

If you could ask the culprits that, they would probably shrug and say, "Dunno." That's why such vandalism is called 'mindless'.

[mikey4444]

Not sure what you are saying Dougie ?

[bookbinder]

I can't see anything in the news article that says that ISIS might have been involved. I know the area around the railway, also, and I have never seen the black flag or any masked 'fighters'.

[Barmaid]

lol @ Douglas. Very good.

Why? I think bookbinder probably has it. No doubt they probably thought it was great fun to be trashing something at the time.

I've never understood the mindset of vandalism. A few years ago there was a spate of kids on bridges in Peterborough chucking bricks at cars. Luckily no one was seriously injured but I often thought "why?".

[Barmaid]

Isis was Lord Grantham's dog in DA.

[douglas9401]

Woof! or maybe whoosh. :)

[Mamyalynne]

I doubt there's a 'why' - mindless.

[youngmafbog]

Boredom or an act of 'Bravado' or ripped to the tits on something most likely.

[mikey4444]

OK...see your joke now Dougie !

[Zacs-Master]

Apparently there was a '60s Fest' yesterday which might have been the catalyst.

[youngmafbog]

Oh, a load of old pensioner Teds did it then?

[Zacs-Master]

Nah, the Rockers were always the worst.

Dreadful thing to happen, volunteers created and run this railway. I Live nearby. Respectless, evil, thoughtless stupidity & I hope the idiots are caught and forced to repair the damage with their own hands.

[woofgang]

jourdain, they probably aren’t capable of doing that
