    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Two members of a campaign group have been charged after they poured porridge and jam on a bust of Queen Victoria and spray-painted the word “cunt” on the plinth at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow.

    Sorcha Ni Mhairtin, 30, and Hannah Taylor, 23 from This Is Rigged carried out the actions around midday on Sunday before reportedly gluing themselves to the plinth.

    The group said it carried out the act to protest against increasing food insecurity.

    Ni Mhairtin, an Irish activist and community food worker in Glasgow, said: “We refuse to be dragged back to the Victorian era.

    Other stunts the group has carried out this year include occupying the royal dining room at the Palace of Holyroodhouse.

    A spokesperson from Police Scotland said: “Around 11.55am on Sunday March 3 2024, police were called to a report of a protest and alleged vandalism within Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, Kelvingrove Park, Glasgow.

    Government is fortunate that people aren’t regularly rioting and burning buildings to the ground with the state the country is in.

      You should clarify whether that is because an increasing amount of people can’t afford to feed themselves or because of a non violent protest.

      It’s odd how people are willing to get upset over something like this yet turn a blind eye to Prince Andrew.

        Not sure people are turning a blind eye to it. Think you made that up.

          How dare people be concerned with people being unable to afford food in a society with an ever increasing equality gap!

          Let’s get that nonce Prince Andrew sorted first and then worry about feeding the scum!
