Hi apologies for bringing politics in to the TMA page but has anyone seen this article about far right groups using and damaging ancient sites?

I've seen this 'news' story shared on several different archeo pages mainly on Facebook. Not sure if it carries any real weight and feels like a deflection (by the Telegraph) from the real right wing danger currently happening in our country - namely by the current government regime. Your link shows a swastika carved on a tree - which is in fact an ancient symbol and not necessarily sinister.
