A pensioner has been caught on CCTV apparently spraying the word ‘b******’ onto the plinth holding a statue of Margaret Thatcher, Britain’s first female prime minister.

...

Its installation was controversial and it has been egged and spat on – with some jokers even marking the statue as a public toilet on Google Maps.

The rude word is given as:

‘b******’

I'm guessing it's ‘bollock’.

    The image shows it ending with |D. Options:

    B***ID
    B***HD
    B***ND
    B***AD

    The shape of the | means I think these are unlikely: B***WD
    B***MD
    B***JD
    B***VD

    If the picture and number of stars are both accurate, and I'm reading it correctly, then I'm at a loss.

    BEHIND wouldn't be censored, I assume, but who idk. British sweating is different than Canadian. You can say "fuck" on TV but not "bloody hell", so there's probably something there in missing.
