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.

With respect, how do you know they haven't got jobs or at least most of them.
It was a Sunday Kazanne, not everyone 'has to work' Sundays yet still.

If I was a supporter of marches I would have likely joined that one, so I would have been a lout and waste of space too in your and others generalised view of them all.

I can't figure out if you're lying / exaggerating to make a point, or actually believe this drivel?
