XR protester who defaced Churchill statue threatened as he's spared jail

was told "he should hang" by a masked mob before he was spared jail today.

The court heard that Clark, of Hertford, Herts, used chalk paint to write the words on the base of the Grade-II listed statue outside the Houses of Parliament on September 10.A judge told Clark that he had "caused great offence" and "provoked a strong reaction" but his case was firmly about criminal damage.

"From where I sit this is criminal damage. This is defacing a listed statue. Tourists from across the world come here and they see the City of London that people like you choose to deface... and, in doing so, you create great expense also to people who pay taxes. The teen's lawyer, Laura O'Brien, said her client was an "intelligent" maths and history student who had acted impulsively.

Churchill was a racist bigot - why are other racist bigot statues being taken down and Churchill still up?

Good, the nob.

Put him in Colchester barracks jail for a week or two.
