GUEST,Chris B (Born Again Scouser) Memorial to kids murdered by IRA stolen (36) Memorial to kids murdered by IRA stolen 18 May 12

A plaque erected in memory of two children killed by IRA bombs in Warrington, Cheshire, has been stolen. Jonathan Ball (3) and Tim Parry (12) were killed by bombs placed in litter bins in the streets of the town in 1993.

Tim's father has been a prominent campaigner for peace and reconciliation ever since. He must be wondering why he bothered.

The police are, for now, proceeding on the assumption that metal thieves are behind this - plaques and cemetery memorials are now frequently stolen and sold to scrap metal merchants. If there is a political dimension no-one is mentioning it - but I wouldn't rule it out.

Words fail me.
