Listed as a scheduled monument, I assume that we’re going to be prosecuting the perpetrators then?

Nothing says “defending English culture” like defacing a historic monument.

It’s the most effort they’ve put into anything since learning to spell “immigration.”

These twats are now damaging pieces of English / British history with this stupid flag nonsense.
Given the government is going after Banksy for painting a listed courthouse, I’m sure we’ll see just as much of an investigation into the attack on this listed monument, right?
And of course all the people who were incensed at JSO throwing soup at a Van Gogh painting will be up in arms about this too, right?

It’s a symbol of imperialism and colonialism and therefore racism. It’s like the American confederate flag.

If Just Stop Oil had done this the right whingers would have been frothing at the mouth. More than usual.

>Wiltshire police said no crime had been committed after red fabric appeared on the Westbury white horse
Yeah, this is fabric and no crime committed according to the first line in the article. Disagree strongly with going about the flag in this manner but it’s so weird seeing the two-faced nature ongoing here. If it was someone doing this and labelling it as art? It’s hailed.
Exact same thing, wrong fullstop to vandalise monuments and old buildings imo.
Edit: For clarity, I think this **should** be considered criminal, and the offenders charged. Didn’t actually put this forward when I wrote, apologies for confusion there.

This flag shit really needs to stop now. It is just becoming boring.

Personally I’m not bothered if people want to paint shitty crosses on a roundabout… but I draw the line on the horse.

Paint on a listed building you get 10 years, do this and it’s patriotic

Can we just not.
Did somebody take their strappy long-sleeve coats off and let them out again?
