THE yob who climbed Leigh's town centre war memorial last week and got stuck at the top should have been left there, then all the town's old soldiers could have pelted him with rotten tomatoes.

Just think, everyone with a bit of respect passing the Church Street cenotaph could have joined in.

Firemen have better things to do than rescue such stupid prats, and it must have gutted them to see him walk off scot free.

Hopefully the new CCTV camera image will eventually help to identify the failed catman and shame him publicly.

At least it should be a warning to others that Big Brother is watching, and that people using the site will think twice before dishonouring our war heroes.
