Original Note:
This attack on a statue outside the BBC headquarters was motivated by the paedophilia of Eric Gill, who created it. His abuse of his daughters was revealed in his diaries. The incident was not part of any attack on Western culture in general but motivated by disgust at Gill. https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2023/may/09/bbc-to-repair-hq-sculpture-by-paedophile-child-sexual-abuser-eric-gill https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/01/13/bbc-says-statue-paedophile-artist-will-remain-place-broadcasting2/
