Pensioner caught on camera spraying graffiti on Margaret Thatcher statue
The rude word has since been removed from the statue, which cost £300,000 and was unveiled in May 2022.

A pensioner has been caught on CCTV apparently spraying the word ‘b******’ onto the plinth holding a statue of Margaret Thatcher, Britain’s first female prime minister.
...
Its installation was controversial and it has been egged and spat on – with some jokers even marking the statue as a public toilet on Google Maps.
Cool. Crime but who cares.
Now the important question. Who the fuck paid 300k for a statue of her.
If public funds were involved. That's a fucking hanging offence.
If not. Tut tut typical sign of tory refusal to invest in mental health.

26 0 ReplyYeah but when you shift in a public toilet. It takes it away.
So unless they gave they statue a realistic digestive tract.
Its a useless waste.

That lady (the pensioner, not Thatcher) deserves either a rise in her state pension and/or a New Year honour, perhaps a Baroness....?

The rude word is given as:
‘b******’
I'm guessing it's ‘bollock’.

B***ADThe shape of the | means I think these are unlikely: B***WD
B***MD
B***JD
B***VDIf the picture and number of stars are both accurate, and I'm reading it correctly, then I'm at a loss.
BEHIND wouldn't be censored, I assume, but who idk. British sweating is different than Canadian. You can say "fuck" on TV but not "bloody hell", so there's probably something there in missing.
