Police in the UK have questioned a white Oxford-educated
museum curator after she tweeted details of how to destroy bronze
statues with household chemicals, and suggested that the next
target for black lives matter protesters should be the statue of
‘racist’ Winston Churchill.
US born Madeline Odent sent out a series of tweets with
instructions on how to dissolve bronze statues, asserting that the
damage done would be “irreversible” and “practically
impossible to stop.”
“It can be done, but the chemical needed is super
carcinogenic, so it rarely is.” Odent tweeted, adding “We
haven’t found a way to restore artefacts that this happens
to.”
Odent then sarcastically added “Which is a shame, since we all
immediately forget history when statues are destroyed.”
She further tweeted “Stay tuned for our next edition, where
we’ll be talking about marble memorials of racists.”
When several respondents said they had called the police, Odent
responded saying “my boss has my back” and that she would
continue to use her “safe platform” to “piss off some
racists.”
Police
told the Daily Mail that “We are aware of a series of tweets
on a private twitter account, which we believe may relate to
damaging statues, and we are currently looking into this matter
along with our partner agencies.”
Odents’s tweets are now only visible to approved
followers.
The Mail further reported that Odent is a virulent leftist who
virtue signals consistently, noting that “In February, she
scheduled a ‘Drag Queen Story Time’ event, writing on Facebook:
‘If you’re introduced to difference in a positive way, you’ll
respond to difference in a positive way. Thrilled to be putting
this on.’”
After defacing Churchill’s statue in London, and pulling down
a statue of Colston in Bristol, BLM agitators have
identified scores of ‘racist’ statues,
murals, and landmarks throughout the UK that they are demanding
be pulled down.
London mayor Sadiq Khan is
pandering to the demands, and has set up a commission to
evaluate the diversity of London landmarks.
Meanwhile, counter right wing protesters have
vowed to defend the statues when mass protests resume this
coming weekend.
