Whoever is the next occupant of 10 Downing Street could win an awful lot of friends and public support by announcing an immediate crackdown on the tiresome zealots who think it’s a good idea to hurl paint at monuments and artworks.
Introducing a fast track to court and a spell in prison for the noisy minority who deface national treasures or disrupt showpiece sporting events would do wonders for the approval rating of the new Prime Minister and unite voters of all political persuasions.
And during this great summer of sport, it’s a fair bet we’ll see attempts to disrupt the Euros being played in Germany, next month’s Olympics in France or Wimbledon. It’s beyond time that we got tough with these people, and by doing so, we’d be following in the footsteps of friends and neighbours who have also run out of patience with similar protests and are clamping down on them.
