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.

        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.
