Every time a private jet takes off, it pours excrement on what Covid-19 fundraiser Captain Tom stood for, the 21-year-old said
A UK activist campaigning to “End UK Private Jets” dumped a plastic container full of what she claimed was “actual liquid human s***” over a memorial to Covid-19 fundraiser and World War II veteran Captain Tom Moore on Friday, seeking to call attention to the government’s hypocrisy about climate change.
“Every time [a private jet] takes off, it pours a bucket of s*** and blood onto everything Captain Tom stood for,” says Maddie Budd, described by the End UK Private Jets Twitter account as a 21-year-old “former medical student,” in a video accompanying the clip of the fecal stunt.
“People are going to say that he’s a hero. People are going to say that this is profoundly, obscenely disrespectful to his life and the NHS that he stood up for and I agree,” she explains, questioning why “we” are “forcing our healthcare system into collapse….forcing our civilization into collapse” while “the government won’t even end UK private jets!”

Not everyone appreciated the group’s message, however. A Twitter user claiming to be the person who donated the Captain Tom memorial to Thistley Meadow pledged to “pursu[e] Maddie for vandalism,” tweeting that he would “work with the police to ensure this is taken as far as possible.” A torrent of abuse directed at Budd ensued after the story was picked up by Breitbart on Saturday.
