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.

    For most people they then either ignore the thread or look up the name on the web to learn something new. You on the other hand decided to pop in and boast about your ignorance instead.

    Interesting choice.

      You decided to make yourself feel superior by shitting on people from around the world who took the time to engage the comment section.

      Do you want empty comment sections? Because this is how you get empty comment sections.

      So fuck off, wanker.

        Empty comments aren’t any better than any comment sections. It should be easier to look her up than type those comments. Either way she could be compared to Reagan.
