The Prospero and Ariel statue outside the BBC building in central London was vandalized on Wednesday by a man shouting "pedophile" - in reference to sculptor Eric Gill.
On display since 1993, it portrays a naked child-looking spirit from Shakespeare’s ‘The Tempest’. Police were called to the scene and the man was brought down after four hours.
For several years there has been a campaign to remove the statue, after Gill was found to be sexually abusing his daughters and a dog.

It's their alter.
Poor guy, I wish I could give him some help.
A good reminder to organize. Rambo isn't real, it's better to go out as a like minded group. Force multiplier.
Belinda Gates is a big donor to this cesspool.
