Man sells eggs by Margaret Thatcher statue after landmark gets vandalised

A man has been pictured selling eggs for £10 directly next to a controversial Margaret Thatcher statue which was recently unveiled in her hometown.

The landmark dedicated to Britain's first female Prime Minister was subjected to vandalism within hours of its opening after someone threw an egg at the statue in Grantham. The 20ft statue appears to be brewing resentment across the town and the wider community, LincolnshireLive reports.

Twitter user @sport_badger, also known as Em, shared a picture of reporter Oli Dugmore, head of news and politics for publication JOE, standing outside near the statue. Next to him is a sign saying 'Egg £10' along with a table with cartons of eggs.
