The £300,000 statue was splattered with red paint and a hammer and sickle was painted nearby.

    Grantham is pretty firmly in the middle of nowhere it's a pilgrimage just to go vandalise it.

    It feels like there's some cosmic irony to the fact that they knew very well how much hatred this would get so they installed CCTV cameras to prevent it from getting vandalized but it still doesn't stop the vandals. It's also funny how they only got this after London rejected it.

      Right?

      What scumbag footed that bill? Probably Murdoch or one of his country club members.

        it was the public memorials appeal, the group who put the little blue plaques up (a registered charity!)

          Of course, a quaint little innocuous-sounding organization.

          Who were the ”donors”?
