The father of a former medical student from Wales, who sparked fury when she poured human excrement over a Captain Sir Tom Moore memorial, has said he is “deeply ashamed” of her actions. Jim Budd said his daughter Maddie, 21, had “gone rogue” after dropping out of medical school to become a full-time eco-warrior.
The 62 year-old father-of-six said he felt sick when he saw the video of his daughter defiling Captain Sir Tom’s image. He described her actions as “desecrating his memory”, Mailonline reported.
A video of Maddie’s stunt for the pressure group End UK Private Jets is with Derbyshire Police, which is investigating. Maddie filmed herself pouring the canister of faeces and urine over the memorial to the late captain, who made international headlines in 2020 when he raised millions for charity in the run-up to his 100th birthday during the Covid-19 pandemic.
