CCTV shows the man, who is wearing a Ukip rosette and a flat-cap, relieving himself at the side of Marjorie Pinches' house in Stoke-on-Trent, on her 73rd birthday. Another camera caught the moment she confronted the man who was distributing political leaflets before he tried to push his way into her house to...
A famous Banksy once valued at a million pounds which "fell" off a wall appears to be for sale on Facebook.
