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.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

That's a bargain price for a public toilet these days.
Yeah 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....?
Replace the public urinal this pensioner graffitied with a statue in her honor.
Someone marked the statue as a public toilet on google maps, now that is kinda funny
Imagine building a statue to Margaret Thatcher in 2022
Not all heroes use zimmer frames. But some do.
Someone still doing important work after exiting the workforce.
Would love to be a pensioner able to do petty crime with little repurcussions
From the article:
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.
Then the photo shows the word ending in a D
So what’s the word? Blowhard? Behead? Bedraggled?
What did the pensioner say?
Bellend
Bastard I guess
"Bastard" maybe?
Good man.
*elderly woman
The rude word is given as:
‘b******’
I'm guessing it's ‘bollock’.
Probably BASTARD since we see D.
Definitely more probable than 'boobies'
The image shows it ending with |D. Options:
B***ID
B***HD
B***ND
B***AD
The shape of the | means I think these are unlikely:
B***WD
B***MD
B***JD
B***VD
If 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.
BELLEND?
Ding ding ding
I think them getting the number of stars wrong is most likely, yeah.
‘Bellend’ maybe?
More of this please!
Incredibly based
Someone mail her more spray paint.
Better yet, have 20 gallons of magenta paint delivered to her.
We must encourage this new genre of art!
