A full time climate activist has been arrested for criminal damage after she allegedly vandalised a memorial for Captain Sir Tom Moore by tipping human faeces over it. Madeleine Budd, 21, is said to have been videoed while she emptied a canister of urine and faeces over the sculpture in Hatton, Derbyshire.
A police investigation was initiated after the footage surfaced on the social media page of protest campaign group, 'End UK Private Jets', the Mirror reports. Derbyshire Constabulary confirmed that the 21-year-old was consequently arrested and charged following the incident yesterday.
Madeleine, who until recently was studying to become a doctor, is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates court tomorrow.

End UK Private Jets is a group protesting against luxurious and unnecessary carbon emissions, focusing on the use of private jets in the UK. Derbyshire Constabulary said in a statement: "A 21-year-old woman has been charged after a memorial for
