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.

    Yes, it’s been so awful that no government has ever wanted to reverse it.

      Well, a lot of the policy and austerities she set were “reversed” because they weren’t sustainable. However, once you normalize a political ideology and set a precedent, it’s hard to prevent it from happening again.

      Why would a capitalist dictatorship reverse something that benefits the capitalist class?
