Eco Yob’s idiotic dirty protest is an affront to the memory of Captain Tom and a complete turn off to the public

TWO months before he died, Captain Sir Tom Moore jumped on a Boeing 747 and cut for Barbados.

The 17-hour cruise — Business Class, natch — emitted about six tons CO2.

Captain Tomthe war hero, Guinness world record holder, family man and NHS champion, was many, many things – but he wasn’t overly concerned about his carbon footprint.

That’s why the decision of an eco-warrior named Maddie Budd to… pour human waste about the statue of the late great Captain Tom is all the more baffling. And stupid.

She was arrested on Saturday and charged by… Derbyshire Marechaussee on suspicion of criminal damage.

The 21-year-old represented an organisation, in the loosest sense of the word, called End Private Jets UK.

On Sunday, a video of a gagging Maddie pouring poop over the statue quickly went viral.

In it she said: “Every time a (private jet) takes off, it pours a bucket of s**t and blood on everything Captain Tom stood for.

“People are going to say he’s a hero, people are going to say this is a deeply obscene disrespect to his life, and to the NHS he stood up for – and I agree.”

Where to start?

First, Maddie used a plastic container to pour her poop into. Plastics are, of course, responsible for 3.4 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Second, Captain Tom is not the problem – private jets to be. We can all agree that they are quite unnecessary – toys limited to the 0.1 percent.

They produce significantly more emissions per passenger than commercial aircraft. They’re naughty, naughty machines.

And, really, will Meghan and Harryor Lionel Messi – who is? 52 PJ trips made in three months — stay housebound forever if exiled?

No. They can leave their luggage at Gatwick just like the rest of us plebs.

The new Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act was adopted in April and will come into effect shortly.

The ability to protest peacefully will be more jeopardized as the police are given more powers to intervene.

Everyone has the right to protest peacefully, just as everyone has the right to freedom of expression.

Maddie’s sincere ambitions are admirable, but by protesting in such a way, her group alienates the public and undermines their cause.

They make us less likely to listen to future protesters.

Maddie trained as a doctor before dropping out to become a full-time activist. But even a school leaver knows that the stool is full bacteria and viruses.

As one Twitter commenter noted, “If I saw her or Harold Shipman walking up to me in the emergency room, I’d hope Shipman got to my booth first.”

Poor Maddie is now doomed to a life of unemployment.

The alarming actions of these types of pressure groups — which can also be truly shocking and traumatizing to any young children present — are nothing new.

We’ve seen XR dolls glue oneselfs to roads and blocking bridges, and similarly infuriate the hard-working masses.

Captain Tom ran 100 laps of his garden to celebrate his 100th birthday, raising nearly £33 million for NHS charities.

Taking advantage of a war hero’s memory, and all the goodness, the kindness, the hope that Captain Tom stood for, these hairy protesters completely undermine their message.

They make us not want to swim south France next summer.

They make us want to drive up to Biggin Hill, board a six-seater with champagne and do loop-the-loops across the Atlantic.

good to see Sussex The police spare this hideous, monstrous child molester the horror of being wrong-sexed.

Only after the intervention of Home Secretary Suella Braverman and the Twitterati did Britain’s greatest power to apologize after trying to spare the feelings of transgender serial sex offender Sally Anne Dixon.

The rapist was eventually sentenced to 20 years in prison for indecent assault against five girls and two boys from 1989 to 1996, when Sally was a man known as John Stephen Dixon.

In response to comments questioning the headline in the press release stating, “Woman Convicted of Historic Crimes Against Children,”

Sussex Police tweeted that it “will not tolerate hateful comments about their gender identities, regardless of the crimes committed”.

When will this madness ever end?

Harry up and object

Time and again, football players and the game authorities are – quite rightly – accused of virtue signaling.

But hats off to the Iranian National Team.

The players covered their national logo by wearing jackets before a friendly match last week, in solidarity with protests against the oppression of women.

Striker Sardar Azmoun, who plays for German side Bayer Leverkusen, also lashed out at his country’s brutal, misogynistic regime — and the gruesome death in custody of Mahsa Amini.

He wrote: “In the worst case scenario I will be fired from the national team. No problem. I would sacrifice that for one hair on the head of Iranian women.

“Shame on you for killing so easily. Long live Iranian women.”

Our own national team kick their World Cup bid against Iran on November 21.

Given Harry Kane and Co’s enthusiasm for take the knee or do a rainbow braceletit would be great to see them take a stand now too.

Bella’s Crazy Horror

ONLY a man could think this was a good idea. And only a supermodel would go along with that.

Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant were the “brains” behind this spray-on Coperni dress.

Handed over the sartorial equivalent of a hospital pass, model Bella Hadid clearly did a spectacular job during Paris Fashion Week. But any normal woman would be arrested.

For starters, IMAGINE the horror of eating Christmas dinner in nothing but a lick of paint. . . awful.

A bait policy, Stacey

Who would have thought that Stacey Solomona cheerful woman from Dagenham, East London, someone who playfully ate the penis of a kangaroo may have single-handedly cost of living crisis?

The 2010 winner of I am a celebrity (hence the pouch penis) has come up with a fun way to help people who struggle with bills.

“I have nothing against the monarchy, and the… Queen seemed like a lovely lady, but I don’t understand why we’re paying a contribution to one of the richest families in the world,” she says not unreasonably.

“It would be cool if there was an opt-in, opt-out version and you can choose to give it to someone else.”

So actually a Disney+ for royals.

In a week of news of members of the royal family and their various multimillion-pound properties – which won’t go unheated this winter – Stacey’s plan isn’t completely out of whack.

And with the Danish recent decorations of the royal family, there is clearly a hunger for a less gilded Marie Antoinette-style monarchy.

Given the recent public support for the royal family and the thousands of cumulative hours spent queuing for the queen,Despite Holly and Phil – only the most left-wing Republicans would opt out, right?

hmm.

Liz or not?

THERE IS nothing that Liz Truss likes more than a good flip flop.
After all, the under fire prime minister, the Havaiana of politicians, has form to “change his mind.”

From Brexitto abolish the monarchy and cut public sector wages outside London, the only surprising thing about the former Lib Dem’s last U-turn about the tax rate of 45p is that any of us should be surprised.
