Two protestors have been charged after a stunt saw them pour jam and porridge over a bust of Queen Victoria before spray painting it with the word c**t at Glasgow’s Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
Sorcha Ni Mhairtin, 30, and Hannah Taylor, 23 from This Is Rigged carried out the actions around midday, before reportedly gluing themselves to the plinth.
The group said it carried out the act to protest against increasing food insecurity.
Ms Ni Mhairtin, an Irish activist and community food worker in Glasgow, said: “We refuse to be dragged back to the Victorian era.
“Diseases of starvation including scurvy and rickets are on the rise.
“Freedom begins with breakfast and if you can’t understand that, we’ll shove it in your face.
“Food is a human right, and we call out the rotten systems under which we are suffering.”
