And your point is?
We live in a decent, low crime area. Three days ago Mr SW put a 'Vote Remain' poster up in our window. Two days ago an egg was thrown at that window. Tonight our fence, a sturdy one which ran the full length of the garden was systematically pulled down so that it is now lying, dangerously, in bits, across the ginnel.…
