Vandalism of national monuments

[muddy]

A pro-Palestine activist who vandalised Sir Winston Churchill's statue in Parliament Square has been found not guilty of criminal damage.

A disgraceful judgement .

So if you are pro pallie you can go and vandalise any of our national monument s after all the taxpayer will pay for the clean up .

How can doing criminal damage be not guilty of doing criminal damage ?

[klondike]

Either a dodgy magistrate or enough dodgy jurors who wouldn't convict.

Appalling.  Six years ago this man was found guilty

The culprit should be made to pay for the replacement IMO, along with a hefty fine or jail time.
