Maddie Budd (21) chose to pour human excrement on the memorial to Captain Sir Tom Moore in protest.
Moore, a war veteran is known for raising money for the UK health system on its 100th birthday.
He originally planned to raise £ 1,000 by walking back and forth in a wheelchair in his garden 100 times, but ultimately raised over NOK 360 million.
Budd is a former medical student and climate activist. As the 21-year-old goes to the deceased crown hero’s memorial, she films herself and explains why she does what she does.

– Feces and blood
In the video, Maddie Budd says she thinks people will say that Moore is a hero and that what he is doing is deeply disrespectful to the life of the captain and the British Health Service (NHS):
– And I agree. I studied to be a doctor because I believe in taking care of people. If we believe that the NHS is important, if we believe in taking care of each other, if we believe that NHS workers do important work, why are we forcing our health system to collapse? Why are we forcing our civilization to collapse? Because no one takes this genocide of all humanity seriously, says Budd, and continues:
– All of this is true and the government will not put an end to British private jets. Whenever one takes off, he empties a bucket of feces and blood on everything Captain Tom stood for.
Ashamed
Maddie Budd’s parents are outraged by the stunt. Her father tells it about her Daily mail who is deeply ashamed that his daughter offends the captain. Several British media reported that she later he was arrested and is in danger of being prosecuted.
– There was a broad public reaction for obvious reasons. I don’t think you understand what the hell she did. He did something terrible without thinking about the consequences, says his father.
The climate activist’s video has also sparked violent reactions on Twitter, writes the British newspaper The independent.
