The Historic Buildings Liberation Front

My free local newspaper often carries stories of small historical significance, most concerning WW2, but this weekend I discovered a self-styled group of historical 'terrorists' operating in my area. The HBLF (Historic Buildings Liberation Front) caused several thousand dollars worth of damage to a new house. The reason? Developers demolished an ornate Victorian house in order to build the new property, despite local protests (and then outrage). The HBLF have been active in the past, exacting 'revenge' – or, depending on where you stand, committing vandalism - against those who destroyed local heritage. Of course, your Guide can’t condone damaging other people’s property, but neither can I condone the wanton erasure of the past.
