Two charged for pouring porridge and jam on Queen Victoria bust in Glasgow
Two charged for pouring porridge and jam on Queen Victoria bust in Glasgow
Women from This Is Rigged campaign group also spray-painted a profanity on the plinth at Kelvingrove Museum
this is a victimless crime that is also crimeless because it shouldn't be illegal
Unfortunately the tittle misses. Spray painted cunt on the plinth and planned to glue themselves to it.
Jam and porridge has minimal victims yes. Someone has to pay to clean it. So I'd say clean up is a punishment that suits the crime.
Spray paint and glue gets a bit more complex. As clean up is a little more involved. And presents the risk of damaging the statue.
Unfortunately the concept of who the statue represents and current feelings towards her. Really do not relate to weather their is a victim or not. It is property be it tax payers or some wealthy plonk. Victims exist.
victimless crime
They damaged a statue that belongs to a publicly owned local museum...
They poured what I eat for breakfast every morning on a chunk of stone. I think it'll be fine.
*they poured jam over a statue
"Come out Ye, Black and Tans"... more like "Come out Ye, Porridge and Jams", amiright?
This is Rigged has said it will continue to carry out similar actions until its demands are met. They include supermarkets reducing the price of baby formula to March 2021 prices and the Scottish government funding and implementing a community food hub for every 500 households in Scotland.
They really showed... someone?.. something?...
Government is fortunate that people aren't regularly rioting and burning buildings to the ground with the state the country is in.
There's only one man who would dare give me the raspberry... LONE STAR!!!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Two members of a campaign group have been charged after they poured porridge and jam on a bust of Queen Victoria and spray-painted the word “cunt” on the plinth at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow.
Sorcha Ni Mhairtin, 30, and Hannah Taylor, 23 from This Is Rigged carried out the actions around midday on Sunday before reportedly gluing themselves to the plinth.
The group said it carried out the act to protest against increasing food insecurity.
Ni Mhairtin, an Irish activist and community food worker in Glasgow, said: “We refuse to be dragged back to the Victorian era.
Other stunts the group has carried out this year include occupying the royal dining room at the Palace of Holyroodhouse.
A spokesperson from Police Scotland said: “Around 11.55am on Sunday March 3 2024, police were called to a report of a protest and alleged vandalism within Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, Kelvingrove Park, Glasgow.

Country gets worse every year.
You should clarify whether that is because an increasing amount of people can't afford to feed themselves or because of a non violent protest.
