Story summary

A pro-Palestinian protester has sparked outrage by filming himself spitting on a statue honoring murdered MP Sir David Amess in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex. The footage, posted across social media under the name "Angry Jesus," shows the individual spitting three times on the likeness of Mr. Amess days after the fifth anniversary of his murder during a constituency meeting. Despite posting the video himself, the protester bizarrely claimed it was not him in comments. Former Home Secretary and Essex MP Dame Priti Patel called for an investigation into this "sickening and disgusting act." The statue, which was unveiled by Sir David’s family in 2024, has become a target of controversy over Mr. Amess's support for the Iraq War.
