    Do these people have nothing better to do.

    Im sure there are far more important things going on in the world that they could put there efforts towards instead fo wasting there time on pointless efforts like this.

  • How utterly pathetic. It would be bad enough if they were doing this to ordinary shops but they are vandalising specifically charity shops for this non-reason. I hope they suffocate on the fumes of their own glue.

    People need to wind their necks in and get over it!

    is it hurting them to have non seasonal stuff around? No, people should try putting the enery into somehting else apart for all thsi griping!
    I smile because I have no idea what is going on!
