By Camilla Turner, and James Rothwell

09 May 2015 Downing Street has condemned the defacing of a war monument on Whitehall by anti-austerity protesters as “despicable”. The words "f*** Tory scum" were daubed in red paint on the Women's War Memorial in Whitehall on Saturday, just a stone's throw from a VE Day celebration concert at London's Horse Guards Parade.

Four police officers and one other member of police staff were injured, with two needing hospital treatment, as campaigners descendedon Downing Street to protest against the new Conservative government.

So, by being angry that the Tories win, they decided to act like idiots and legitimize their victory.

Leftists are morons.

Maybe they are just protesting the victory over the National Socialists led by that Tory “scum” Churchill?

It seems the protestors’ desire for larger, more intrusive government is stronger than their support of a democratically elected government. We ought to come up with a word to describe these people. Any suggestions?

Trashing a WOMEN’S WWII memorial. Way to “keep calm and carry on with the WAR ON WOMEN”, schmucks.

“So, by being angry that the Tories win, they decided to act like idiots and legitimize their victory. Leftists are morons.”

The pre-election polling gave labour and the Lib Dems a “Sure Victory”.

They are stunned that the polling, especially the Social Media-lauded INTERNET POLLING, could have been so wrong.

(We in America already know that media-driven Internet polls, ESPECIALLY easily-manipulated “Social Media” polls, are beyond useless)
