Why the silence over this war memorial defacer?

How have the dailymailers on AB missed this one?

If she'd been Muslim (like those shouting obscenities in Wooton Bassett), would we have seen a question posted condemning her within minutes of the story being published?

Are there now different standards of condemnation depending on the melatonin of the accused???

she apparently performed a sex act on a male, if that helps narrow down the field a bit. Interestingly, there's been no mention of the male though I would have thought him equally culpable.

I saw this story earlier tonight on the local BBC news. They said that this clearly horrendous women had urinated on the memorial. There was no mention of a sexual act. The charge as I understand it was Outraging Public Decency.

She was barracked by several war veterans as she entered the court. However, before her case was called, she fled from the court and a warrant is now out for her arrest.

Sp1814 – I don't think that this is a story that warrants the accusation that you have made. I just think it hasn't been widely reported until now.

the event took place on May 7. The woman was found guilty a week ago; the BBC reported it

Dear God I sincerely hope that this isn't the flower of British womanhood.

Jno – That pretty much supports my assertion that the incident wasn't widely reported. It was reported on BBC Lancashire on 13 August and it only hit the TV (BBC North West) this evening.

Sp1814 – I think you mean Melanin.

It was on the overall BBC website news list at the time (perhaps one of the 'most read' items) because I saw it then.

There was at least one earlier national newspaper report:

but not that many people read The People these days, I'd agree.
