A full time climate activist has been arrested for criminal damage after she allegedly vandalised a memorial for Captain Sir Tom Moore by tipping human faeces over it. Madeleine Budd, 21, is said to have been videoed while she emptied a canister of urine and faeces over the sculpture in Hatton, Derbyshire.
A police investigation was initiated after the footage surfaced on the social media page of protest campaign group, 'End UK Private Jets', the Mirror reports. Derbyshire Constabulary confirmed that the 21-year-old was consequently arrested and charged following the incident yesterday.
Madeleine, who until recently was studying to become a doctor, is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates court tomorrow. Explaining the protest, Budd said: "People are going to say that he's a hero, people are going to say that this is profoundly, obscenely disrespectful to his life, and to the NHS he stood up for and I agree.
