The footage, filmed on June 10, shows several messages sprayed onto the statue's base.

Another statue of the former Prime Minister was targeted during a Black Lives Matter march in central London on Sunday (June 7).

A statue of slave trader Edward Colston was taken down and thrown into the sea by Black Lives Matter activists in Bristol in earlier protests.
