Nude Vandal Update

I wrote in yesterday's post that London is full of undesirable aliens. Here's another of them: Ukrainian national Dan Motrescu, now 30, who mounted the bronze statue of the Duke of Cambridge in Whitehall last November, stripped naked, vandalised the statue and waved its sword around (CLICK). Westminster Magistrates' Court sentenced him to 12 weeks in prison for possession of an offensive weapon (the sword) and three weeks for criminal damage, to run concurrently. Police collected all the bits broken from the statue and today the repairs began. The conservators hope to complete their work by Sunday (CLICK).
