Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

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.
yes, but defacing the statue of a royal is cool and good, and the more defaced it gets, the cooler and gooder. why clean it up? why erect it in the first place?
To deface it
