Woman poured faeces on Captain Tom’s statue

A woman is facing jail after admitting that she poured human faeces over a memorial to Captain Tom Moore.

Madeleine Budd, 21, from Manchester, desecrated a statue of the Second World War veteran in Thistley Meadow, Hatton, south Derbyshire last Friday. Sir Tom shot to fame after raising almost £33million for NHS charities during the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic. Ms Budd entered her guilty plea at Westminster magistrates’ court yesterday.

The court was told that Budd had breached a conditional discharge from April by committing the offence and that the starting point for sentencing could be 18 months in jail.
