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…?

The rude word is given as:

‘b******’

I’m guessing it’s ‘bollock’.

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.
