“Bastard” is a slur now?

Person identified after Margaret Thatcher statue vandalised

Police said they have identified a person after an appeal for information after a statue of former prime minister Margaret Thatcher was vandalised.
However, at the time of writing this had not led to an arrest.
Lincolnshire Police said the sculpture in her birthplace of Grantham had “been defaced with a slur written in red paint”.
The force issued a CCTV image of the incident which was believed to have happened at about midnight on Tuesday.

For reasons best known to themselves, the BBC then left the picture out of their article, so I grabbed it from elsewhere:

Doesn’t exactly look like your normal vandal, does she? She looks old enough to remember Thatcher when she was PM. And I for one am fully in favour of this dear old lady being hunted down and caught, and made to write the word “cunt” on the statue instead of just “bastard”. I mean, if you’re going to vandalise a memorial to one of England’s worst people, the least you can do is not mince words. In any case, I’ve no doubt that if they do catch her, she’ll have people lining up to pay any fine she may attract…
