Surprised it's not been posted already... did anybody manage to glance at the story of the damage caused to the statue of Eric Gill at the BBC? It's of course nowhere to be found on any of the front pages now.
For those who don't know Eric was a monster to his children, sister, dog and he documented the proceedings. I won't go into detail... Somebody felt the need to spend four hours up there smashing away at the statue of him. The timing of this is great because of the recent court case where the weak judge deemed the vandals of the Edward Colston statue 'innocent'. That set a huge precedent and I'll be watching any more updates on this very closely. How are they going to treat this case so closely after the Colston case?
Personally I feel the statue should go (peacefully after a discussion over it) because he was actively performing illegal activities. Colston wasn't and had tenuous links to something which (thankfully now) was economically normal at the time.
