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 still doing important work after exiting the workforce.

Would love to be a pensioner able to do petty crime with little repurcussions
The rude word is given as:
‘b******’
I’m guessing it’s ‘bollock’.

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.

BELLEND?

I think them getting the number of stars wrong is most likely, yeah.

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?

“Bastard” maybe?

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! - Kusimulkku ( @Kusimulkku@lemm.ee ) 3•7 months ago
Feels a bit late to be protesting her
