Eco activist who threw human faeces over a Captain Tom monument avoids jail

The 21-year-old, who used to be a medical student, had admitted causing criminal damage earlier in October.A judge told Budd: "Given your actions could not or have not achieved what you wanted them to and you want to find a better way to express your message… I am just about persuaded I can suspend your sentence."

He had only intended to raise £1,000 for his 100th birthday. He later died in February 2021 after contracting Covid.Budd, of Kington, Herefordshire, who the court heard had been living in a caravan with a chemical toilet, poured the excrement over the life-sized monument to Captain Sir Tom in Thistley Meadow, south Derbyshire, in a video that was posted online on October 1.

Katie McFadden, defending, said Budd had expressed sorrow for any offence endured by Captain Sir Tom's family and had reflected on her actions. "Although the substance you used was deliberately chosen as being the most demeaning and disgraceful as possible, equally it was a substance which can be easily cleaned."

What about the costs of cleaning up

Poor sentence

Soft lefty judges again,,,

This creature should have been made to clean the monument of what it was covered in, and to clean it weekly.

And that's why these over indulged children persist in these stunts. Should have been 12months and a meaningful fine

Shit
