    This is pretty low disturbing graves for scrap

    A Chinese salvage ship has been caught looting the war graves of hundreds of British sailors for scrap metal off the coast of Malaysia in what Britain's former naval chief described as 'an absolute disgrace' and a 'loathsome' act.

    The battleship HMS Prince of Wales, one of the Royal Navy's most capable vessels of the Second World War, was sunk by Japanese bombers in 1941 in the South China Sea.

    An older battlecruiser, the HMS Repulse, was also sunk just a few miles away.

    Nothing to justify that but from their perspective westerners are barely human and certainly beneath them. We forget that at our peril.
