I agree that this is not horrifying
But am interested in your notion that a person has the right to screw a plaque over the original plaque on someone else’s memorial bench. Can you explain that?

yeah, except they didn't if you read the article, though I can understand the assumption given the histrionics of everybody involved
they just put another small plaque down somewhere else on the bench. it says "close to" not over, and obviously not so close that it's in the same frame

Imagining you are being totally serious for a moment:
Kate Hamilton, 40, a groom from Newmarket, was horrified to see the metal plaque, bearing the words ‘Scott, AMJ & Lolly We love this beach’ screwed onto the bench close to the memorial plaque for her grandfather, Ron Hamilton.

Over or near, they don’t have the right to do it

why not? how are their rights different to the first family. it's not like it's either of their property, it's the councils
I bet they never even sought or filed the requisite permissions or risk assessments to put the bench there in the first place, and now the council is liable for any damages that arise from its use, the selfish bastards. They confess to placing it there themselves instead of a qualified engineer approved by the council which would have been the safe and appropriate approach. Did they check to see if their ad-hoc installation blocks access routes to fire service? Of course they fucking didn't. And now they have the unmitigated audacity, the brazen effrontery to complain to the papers about somebody else placing a small tasteful plaque when all along they've been littering the landscape with oversize items of unauthorised amenities, it's enough to make you vomit at the blatant hypocrisy and sickening double standards. These people are lower than dogs

One must assume out of politeness that you're only playing stupid.

You quoted the article. Does that count as an argument in your world?

It refuted the argument that you made, so yes.

My argument was not about where the second plaque was screwed
but about whether it should have been screwed there in the first place. So no

The crux of the argument was whether someone had the right to...
The rest is semantics

The rest was the specific question, which was bollocks.
