Vandalised would be a more accurate description.

Posting this mostly to comment on the near daily culture war distractions being peddled by the government to distract from all the horrible shit they're doing, and the effect this is having to embolden bigots and fascists to commit more extreme acts.

I wonder if this is where we will see the "hard on crime" stance show up? 🤔

Nah they won't act against their base - those are "operational matters for the police". We'll see it when there's counter action akin to the anti TERF protests last year.
