Like a lot of people, the magistrate's remarks on the RAF vandals who ruined the Paddington Bear statue drew a snort of derision from me due to their virtue signalling sentimentality.
"Paddington Bear is a beloved cultural icon with children and adults alike. He represents kindness, tolerance and promotes integration and acceptance in our society.
"His famous label attached to his duffel coat says, 'Please look after this bear' but on the night of 2nd March, your actions were the antithesis of everything Paddington stands for.
"Your actions lacked respect and integrity, two values you should uphold as members of the armed forces."What I hadn't appreciated was that the magistrate, Sam Goozee, has already featured here - he's the magistrate who let off infamous scofflaw Max Coopey
