This is planned destruction of history, sanctioned at govermental level. Why else would they do this at that time of night? Sickening. Of course, ther'll be a "whitewash investigation" which will reach no conclusions, and some belated recommendations to stop this happening in the future, but I bet nothing will come of it. Terrible. Displays a complete absence of conscience in an elected body, and complicity in vandalism on a Nation's heritage. I hope the Green Party fall on their swords.
