Pensioner caught on camera spraying graffiti on Margaret Thatcher statue
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.
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
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***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.
What a hero
Not all heroes use zimmer frames. But some do.
Would love to be a pensioner able to do petty crime with little repurcussions
Someone still doing important work after exiting the workforce.
Good man.

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?
Incredibly based
More of this please!
Good.
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!Uncle Comrade<3
Feels a bit late to be protesting her
But a fair time to protest the statue of her
That's true
How is Thatcher still triggering people so much?
She stopped being PM 34 years ago and has been dead for 11 years.
Get the fuck over it.
Her actions are still negatively influencing peoples lives to this day. You should stop being such a bootlicker.
The stature is new.
