Manchester eco warrior dubbed environmentalist 'gun for hire' faces jail for attacking Captain Tom Moore memorial
A Manchester eco warrior is facing jail after pleading guilty to pouring faeces over a memorial for Sir Captain Tom Moore.
Sir Tom shot to national fame when he raised almost £33m for NHS charities during the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic by walking laps of his garden in the run up to his 100th birthday. He was later knighted by the Queen before he died with Covid-19 in February 2021. Mr Pratt said the incident was filmed and shared on social media as part of an environmental protest.
“The defendant has armed herself with a large amount of human faeces and turned it onto a statue,” he said.Mr Pratt said that although the value involved was relatively low, the offence would have a harmful social impact. “There is certainly no suggestion she is being paid. She will turn up and get involved in anything rather than a specific cause,” Mr Pratt replied, but he later added that protests she attended were environmental.Ms Cieciora said she would be adjourning sentencing for a pre-sentence report until October 25.
