    So they destroyed a priceless artwork, and are essentially planning to kill graffiti Santa next.

    I wonder who’s ordering this, and if they’re aware it will not help the public opinion problem they’re having.

      I’m pretty sure they no longer care about public opinion, they’re confident there’s nothing we can (or will) do.

        That is the vibe the UK government gives in particular sometimes. There’s been a few issues over the past decade and a bit where they just haven’t given a fuck about privacy, free speech or recourse against the authorities.

        It’s mistake to think that way, though, because the nation actually is a democracy now.
