it destroyed our backyard, eating everything, and grew massive(for a rabbit). it would regular chase our west highland terrier down, then pin and rape him. the next year our westie went missing. A week later we found it drowned in our neighbour's swimming pool. Maybe it was suicide. My parents told me they found another home for Bugsy

This is a normal post of all the horrifying things in the world at the moment, finding a bench now has two plaques instead of one is the most shockingly horrifying of the all
I hope they were offered counselling, but thanks for bringing this important story to our attention. Whoever added the unrelated second plaque, even though they had just as much right to add it as the relatives of whom the first plaque was dedicated to, should be hunted down and special provisions made for bringing back the death penalty. The idea of commemorating a piece of council furniture to more than one individual is anathema to everything England holds sacred.

This is a normal post 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.

Remembrance bench upkeep is down to the council who do it on behalf of the people who requested and paid for the bench. They should be removing the plaque themselves. You are just making it up, Cumquat. But I am sure you know this

This is a normal post here's the very first reference I googled:
"All memorials placed on Council owned or managed land are deemed to be assets of the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council and managed in accordance with Council’s policies and procedures"
www.mornpen.vic.gov.au/files/assets/public/new-website-documents/about-us/meetings-amp-minutes/2017/attachments-2017/171010ca_att_314_1.pdf
so, it's clear these people complaining have no property rights to whatever they've dumped on the council ledger to make every other citizen part of what should have been private family grieving. It's not managed "on behalf of the people that requested it", they have no ownership of it whatsoever. And they have no more right than any other passer-by to use it, and the text indicates they put the bench there themselves rather than paying the council to do it. And the next lot of people who put their plaque had just as much right to put there asset on Council owned land or property as the first mob, but at least theirs was discreet and not bringing everybody down . I mean, let's all just plaster the landscape every time somebody carks it, reminding total strangers that somebody who they've never heard of died. It's not like we haven't got a specific place already for that in cemeteries. Oh no, that's not enough! everyone needs to know about my uncle bob and how he loved this place and probably preyed on unaccompanied minors while he was there. And it's not just some massively selfish bit of family egotism, it's now a sacred site, and anyone infringing from making it about all me, me, me, by putting their own sentiments near mine is awful and needs libellous news articles to blacken their names!

This is a normal post the same principle applies for all councils. people don't go around owning permanent fixtures on public land merely because they've dumped it there. the idea is absurd
as usual, these threads are generally a litany of the other person being wrong. Wrong about the plaque being replaced or covered. Wrong about it not being council furniture. wrong about property rights and who pays for the ongoing management. Yet do I ever get thanks for taking the time to refute all these baseless claims and scurrilous imputations? Ah well. Adversus solem ne loquitor

This is a normal post Let’s hope someone doesnt screw a plaque near your own name on your gravestone. Apparently that would also be fine
My issue is with the ethics and morals of someone who believes doing it is okay

This is a normal post let's break down the baseless assumptions the colds stares latest sally (though I'm beginning to suspect he may simply be playing the role of the straight man to give me material)
false assumption one: A park bench is not a grave, as brb made the obvious point. I'd assume if he has family motivated enough to be dumping furniture around the traps, then they've probably ponied up for an actual grave in a cemetery, and in my view should have left it at that.
false assumption two: you know when you go out to some little village in England and see some church that's been there since the domesday book and it has a nice little graveyard next to it? Do you assume current graves reflect all the people who've died in this village? Bzzzzz! Sorry, you lose 10 points. Archaeologists estimate many small church graveyards in england have up to half a million people buried in them (people tended to die often and early in time of yore). So strangers were constantly getting buried in the same plots, and the headstones, crosses and markers constantly replaced with each new stiff. They're not nearly held as sacred and permanent as you think they were. And again, we're talking about a park bench, not a gravestone
False assumption three: I could not give a shit about what happens after I die to my corpse. they could put in on a pedestal in leicester square getting bummed by an animatronic dog with a giant neon sign above saying "Cumquat may was a paedo" and I'd still be incapable of caring, being dead.

This is a normal post It might have less to do with the local council and more to do with the John Muir Trust.
I think we are missing a lot of vital information here. Did the Hamiltons have permission from the relevant local authorities to dump a bench on the Sandwood Estate in the first place?

Who, if anyone, is expected to maintain it? If a fat old man sits on it and it breaks, injuring him and requiring an air ambulance, who is liable?

How does Francis Egerton, 7th Duke of Sutherland feel about it? Is he a possible suspect? Where was he on the night that the plaque was installed?

Who is the mysterious person, or entity, known as AMJ? Could it be the American Muslims for Jerusalem? Is Mossad involved?

Wake up heeples.

This is a normal post Thanks, he does look a lot more buttoned down.
Guessing his transformation is a bit like the image of the underground comic artists. Where the before is their high school yearbook photos from the 50s-60s and the after them in the late 60s or early 70s.
