UK: Jewish-funded monument in London desecrated with raw meat

The Algmeiner reports:

A Jewish-funded memorial statue in east London was found desecrated by vandals with raw meat on Thursday morning, the U.K. Independent reported.

The statue, located in the East End district of Whitechapel, was found covered in scraps of red meat and poultry.

Local Jewish residents paid for the monument to honor King Edward VII, who ruled in the early 20th century and was known for his amicable relations with Jews.
