WE are back to the same old idea that committing criminal damage to a war memorial is a particular crime. It's not. He could and should be charged with criminal damage. As he has a high profile father it may do some good as others may be deterred. In most cases it is almost a waste of time to charge criminal damage if the value of the damage is low, as any court sentence would be low too.
(PS I don't want to get into the argument that I might not have respect for the war heroes: I am just stating what the actual UK law is)
