Whoever did this needs a severe beating, imho.
I hope there’s CCTV somewhere. Morons.
"Why"? There is no "why?" nor is there is any reason for this kind of mindless destruction. If you could catch the culprits and put them up against a wall, and ask them "why?", you would not get an understandable answer. My view (for what it's worth) is that this is yet another symptom of the collapse of society. Too many people do not know how to behave, nor respect the views of others. There is too much of the "me, me, me" attitude going around, and it can only get worse.
OMG read the Express to cheer yourself up!
*** happens every day, and if you're surprised then I'm surprised by your surprise. At least the perps weren't raping or torturing humans or other animals.
Seriously, to focus on this sort of stuff isn't healthy.
I would take a guess that their answer would be either
' I dunno ' or 'I was bored' - absolute morons.
Probably doesn’t happen every day to be honest
Atheist, that is just ignorant.
I just don't know what's wrong with some people.
London is no longer a place for Christian memorials.
Naomi; of what am I ignorant? Or were you just using the word as a vaguely insulting sense?
I just hope these mindless vandals are caught & punished as severely as possible.
No, atheist, that’s the impression I gained from your thoughtless dismissal of this crass and utterly mindless vandalism. It is not okay!
can mods not trade insults knowing they are immune to any action, please.
They’re not immune.

//London is no longer a place for Christian memorials.//

Ain't that the truth. Croydon is no longer the borough of history.
'Peace in our time', and Amy Johnson etc etc. It has become a cess pit of crime.
The poor father of the church cannot have served there very long, or ,he is extremely naive. History or religion does not matter a jot to the majority of residents.
This borough is rife with drug dealing and shootings. Make that of you will.
A police custody sergeant at Croydon Police Station was fatally shot by a prisoner inside the nick only about 18months ago. OK, there were serious errors by the arresting officers due to lack of proper training on search procedures but if a copper isn't safe from perps with firearms inside a police station then what chance is there of maintaining law and order in this London Borough for other law abiding citizens. Perhaps carpet bombing this vile hole would be a viable alternative.
Several years ago my elder son was a door manager. We know them as 'Bouncers'. He was moved to this area by his security company to work the doors at Lloyds and other nightclubs. Within a week he purchased, at his own great expense. Ballistic body armour because of the 'Drive-By' shootings. Thankfully he has moved on and is still with us. Christianity does not reign supreme in that cess pit. Should anyone ask. I live 2 miles from Croydon and have policed it in the past.
It takes a special kind of apologist to possibly think this is an everyday occurrence.
Lest we forget.

I was horrified when I went to visit my grandparents grave some years ago to find the headstone along with others had been kicked down. It seems that the old gravestones were not set in the way they are now and somebody obviously found out.
Disrespectful, nasty little scrotes.
Drugs, drugs, and more drugs. Thuggish behaviour allowed to proliferate. No family cohesion, violence on TV and films the norm.
Christianity all but abandoned. Selfish and greedy, I want it now, I can’t be bothered brigade. Bred from the oafs and slappers, the uneducated and the unemployable. A sad inditement of government and social indifference.
// Attackers struck over three nights on April 12, 13 and 14 //

The church and the Police were very slow to react. Surely they should have been keeping an eye on the place after the first attack.
