The environmental activist who angered people by dumping human waste on a Captain Sir Tom Moore memorial may be charged with a crime.
Video of former medical student Maddie Budd, 21, allegedly attacking the memorial for the adored national hero has Derbyshire Police on high alert.
The police have received a video of the prank, which was performed by the advocacy organization End UK Private Jets.
Experts will examine it and determine if the conduct causes enough criminal harm to warrant prosecution.
The deceased captain earned worldwide news in 2020 when he donated millions for charity in the lead-up to his 100th birthday during the Covid-19 epidemic. Ms. Budd recorded herself emptying the canister of feces and urine over the monument to the late captain.
She subsequently submitted a video with an absurd defense, saying: “People are going to say that he’s a hero, people are going to say that this is deeply, obscenely insulting to his life, and to the NHS he stood up for, and I agree.”
“I was training to be a doctor because I think that caring for others is important.” Why are we 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 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?
Every time a UK private aircraft takes off, it dumps a bucket of s**t and blood upon everything that Captain Tom stood for, and the government won’t even end them.
Threats to file police charges against the eco-fanatic resulted from the act’s intense backlash.
With the intention of earning £1,000 for NHS charities by his 100th birthday on April 30, Captain Tom started walking 100 lengths of his yard in 2020 when he was 99 years old.
But owing to media appearances, the public were inspired by his efforts, and by his birthday, he had raised more than £30 million. By the time of his passing on February 2, 2021, after capturing Covid, he was revered as a national treasure.
The public has responded with anticipated fury to Ms. Budd’s act of vandalism against the adored captain, who had a flypast from the RAF and British Army on his 100th birthday and was even knighted by the Queen.
One Twitter user asked, “How will this inspire people to earn private jet use?” “It seems to be a toddler having a revolting tantrum and acting with the worst contempt.” This kind of conduct won’t persuade anybody to alter anything.
Hope she faces prison time for this, one person commented. I’m not at all supporting your cause; in fact, I’m now working against you.” It’s disgusting, really, and instead of encouraging this scandalous behavior, you should distance yourself from it.
While a third questioned Ms. Budd’s decision to cease becoming a medical student.
“Former student of medicine? Who is she today? Or maybe it’s simply too humiliating to talk about.
Additionally, a person who claims to have donated the monument warned that Ms. Budd will be investigated for vandalism.
“We will cooperate with the police to see that this is pursued as far as it can go.”
Ms. Budd was detained in London in September of last year while participating in an Extinction Rebellion demonstration among medical professionals. This is according to her Facebook profile.
Private planes often emit substantially higher emissions per passenger than commercial flights, and it is well known that flight emissions are significantly worse than those from any other mode of transportation.
Many celebrities have come under fire for using private jets, with Kylie Jenner’s journey apparently being just 17 minutes—offensively short.
Her 17-minute trip is thought to have produced a ton of carbon dioxide emissions.
While it may not seem like much, it represents around 25% of the typical person’s yearly global carbon footprint.
A total of 76 private jet or VIP planes arrived in and around Glasgow during the COP26 climate change conference in Glasgow last year in the four days before November 1.
