How can we become Greece if going by what you say, the country is going to be earning more from tuition fees and the privatisation of the NHS?

Don't they normally riot on May Day, rioting two days in just over a week must have been too taxing

Voting for the Tories is fine as long as you can guarantee that you'll be able to stay in your job for the next five years and not become ill and you aren't renting your house/flat.

Actually Dezzy that is an excellent summary of things.

I wish that had been the labour's party slogan for this election,it says so much and will be proven right too.
I have really no doubt as to that.

I don't think any of them were labour politicians? I might be wrong of course.

Also, "accept they won", "get a life"? It's not a football match, ffs.

Sky news is talking about it now.

Stand by for Cameron taking the moral high ground and making the entire thing about the war memorial.

This is a public order offence with some criminal damage thrown in for good measure. Interesting to see so many in this thread that think that's just fine. I think many in the UK don't understand what its like to live in a country where people are not given democratic rights, if they did understand, they wouldnt be bleating in threads like this like the sore losers they are.

I don't think it's "just fine" at all but, read my post above.

Cameron will make it ALL about the war memorial. He will not even acknowledge the fact that people are clearly angry and frustrated. He will probably make out that they just used it as an "excuse to cause chaos", because they "want to" and "find it fun".

So no its not "fine" but it's also not "fine" to willfully ignore the very real sociology behind social unrest. For a bystander it's blinkered - for a government it's downright negligent.

..but that wouldn't be him making it about that though, it would be the people or person who defaced the war memorial who made it about that..whatever feelings people have about David Cameron or the Conservative party or if it had been any other party who won...because he wasn't the one who made it about that and neither did the majority of protesters either..protesting is good, uniting in one voice is good when you all feel so strongly about something but sadly as is so often the case, a minority of a few people distract from that voice by making it about something else/by making it about what they have done...and really isn't it those few who are taking a moral high ground in a kind of way because it's placing their heightened feelings above families of people who died for their country, there is no bigger sacrifice or 'hardship' than that..The women of WW2 and the memory of them have nothing to do with anything protested about, and if the focus is about that/the memorial... then it's whoever disrespected it that has made it so...

Truth and sense from Ammi.

No Ammi he will make it ALL about that. I'm not saying that it wasn't disgusting for a few of those people to do that, and he could (and should) address that whilst also acknowledging people's frustrations and fears and - one would hope - at least trying to reassure those frustrated and afraid people that he is there to do his best for everyone and that his government are not a bunch of bogeymen.

He won't do that. He will bleat on about the vandalism and only the vandalism, vilify everyone involved even those who were nowhere near the war memorial, not because he actually gives a stuff about the war memorial, but because it's a convenient excuse for ignoring the fact that people are genuinely horrified about the election results. Not disappointed, not "sore losers", but horrified. Scared. And the fact that he will have no interest in even trying to offer words of assurance, but will instead dismiss those people in a sweepy gesture as "vandals" and "scum", says it all.

Who knows, he might surprise me. I very, very much doubt it.

Well said Ammi,there is NO excuse for defacing a memorial or any other property for that matter,it shows them up for the cretins they are.
