Sunday 2 October 2022 10:12 AM Eco zealot, 21, who poured human FAECES on Captain Sir Tom memorial could face ... trends now

The eco warrior who prompted fury by pouring a bucket of human excrement over a memorial to Captain Sir Tom Moore could face criminal charges.

Derbyshire Police has been alerted to footage of former medical student Maddie Budd, 21, targeting the tribute to the beloved national hero.

Video of the stunt, which was carried out for the pressure group End UK Private Jets, has been passed to the constabulary.

It will be scrutinised by experts who will decide if the act passes a criminal damage threshold. 

Ms Budd filmed herself pouring the canister of faeces and urine over the memorial to the late captain, who made international headlines in 2020 when he raised millions for charity in the run-up to his 100th birthday during the Covid-19 pandemic.

And in a bizarre justification she later filed a video declaring: 'People are going to say that he's a hero, people are going to say that this is profoundly, obscenely disrespectful to his life, and to the NHS he stood up for and I agree.

'I was studying to become a doctor because I believe in taking care of people. If we believe that the NHS is important, if we believe in taking care of each other, if we believe that NHS workers are doing essential work, why are forcing our healthcare system into collapse, why are we forcing our civilisation into collapse, why is basically no-one taking this genocide of all humanity seriously?

'All of this is true and the Government won't even end UK private jets, every time one takes off, it pours a bucket of sh** and blood onto everything that Captain Tom stood for'

Backlash against the act has been so severe it sparked threats of pressing police charges against the eco fanatic.
