Dropping a cig butt will get you £100 fine. Insulting past service personnel? That I would have thought would be more serious.
I don't know really, I don't think that should be a particularly criminal matter, yeah it's a foul thing to do but I don't think it crosses that boundary into being "actually serious". Defacing meaningfully (i.e. causing permanent damage or damage that will be hard to repair, breaking, toppling, spraypainting etc.) yes definitely but I don't think something that can be sorted with a bucket of soapy water should incur more than a fine.
