People have spoken out against a campaigner who poured human excrement over a Captain Sir Tom Moore statue despite her claim that she was trying to protect what he "stood for." Maddie Budd, 21, a former medical student from Wales, poured the waste over a statue in Thistley Meadow, in Hatton, Derbyshire.
Captain Sir Tom Moore rose to prominence during the Covid-19 pandemic when he embarked on a quest to complete 100 walks around his garden in a bid to help raise money for NHS Charities. By the time he turned 100 years old, he had raised £32.79 million.
Maddie Budd carried out her protest on behalf of End UK Private Jets, a move which if not taken, the group claims, will force "civilisation into collapse." Speaking about the protest, Maddie 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.
