Woman who poured faeces on Captain Tom statue faces prison

Madeleine Budd, 21, has appeared in court

A young woman could face prison after pouring human faeces over a memorial to Sir Captain Tom Moore in an East Midlands village. Madeleine 'Maddie' Budd poured the liquid on the life-sized statue of the World War Two veteran and NHS hero, located at the Thistley Meadow, in Hatton, Derbyshire.

Prosecutor Jordan Pratt told the court: “The facts of the case is that on September 30, the defendant attended the location of Thistley Meadow in Hatton where there is a statue, a silhouette of Sir Captain Tom Moore.” “This is an abhorrent act. I do not need to remind the court of the impact that Sir Tom had. He was a figurehead that a number of people rallied around in a fundraising effort that raised tens of millions of pounds in the height of the pandemic.”

Mr Pratt said that although the value involved was relatively low, the offence would have a harmful social impact. Mr Pratt also described Budd as a “gun for hire” who is not “nailing her colours to the mast” on a particular issue but will instead commit offences at numerous protests.
