[Video] Margaret Thatcher statue egged just few hours after installation

(Sunday, 15 May 2022) That didn't take long! Following fears that the new statue of Margaret Thatcher would attract egg throwing protests (as "promised" on various social media platforms) came true just a few hours after its installation in the town of Grantham where she was born and raised and later went on to become Britain's Prime Minister and one of the most hated political figures in British history.

Interestingly enough, the bronze statue was installed without a ceremony on a 3-metre base, to protect it from people's acts of "appreciation, respect and affection", since back in 2021, when it was revealed that there were plans to use £100,000 of taxpayers’ money for an unveiling ceremony of a Margaret Thatcher statue a Facebook group proposed an egg-throwing contest, which attracted 13,000 expressions of interest.

There is an image of a white male vendor talking to another white man with his arm held out in front of a small stall. The customer is reading a sign which reads "Egg= £10". The Thatcher statue in the background has protective railings set up around it. [\ID]
