Protest and Riot in London Over Conservative Victory - Rioters Attack Police and Deface WWII Memorial & Lay Siege to Downing Street

Socialist siege of Downing Street: Hard-left activists clash with police following David
Hard-left activists desecrated a war memorial to the gallant sacrifice of Britons who served during the Second World War as anarchists objecting to Thursday's election result in a protest outside Downing Street today. A mindless thug daubed 'F*** Tory Scum' in red paint on the memorial in a sickening display of contempt on the 70th anniversary weekend of VE Day. 

The Metropolitan Police confirmed they are investigating the vandalism which formed part of the un-authorised protest which left two police officers requiring hospital treatment. A group calling itself The People's Assembly had planned to meet up in Whitehall at 1pm to protest against Thursday's election result which gave Cameron a clear Commons majority. Police arrested 17 people for a range of offences including assault and violent disorder. A spokesman for The Royal British Legion said: 'This senseless act could not have been more inappropriately timed. This weekend we commemorate those who fought and died for the freedom to have elections and the freedom to enjoy the lives we have today.'

Police arrested 17 people at the scene on suspicion of offences ranging from assault on a police officer, violent disorder and under the 1986 public order act.
A spokesman for The Royal British Legion said: 'This senseless act could not have been more inappropriately timed. This weekend we commemorate those who fought and died for the freedom to have elections and the freedom to enjoy the lives we have today.'
A special VE Day Concert is planned to take place this evening, just yards from where the anarchists desecrated the £800,000 memorial.
A Downing Street spokeswoman condemned the hate mob's actions. 'Spraying graffiti on war memorials is a despicable display of disrespect for those who fought and died for their country, particularly at a time when the whole nation comes together to commemorate the 70th anniversary of VE Day.' 
It was reported that smoke bombs, bottles, cans and even a bicycle were hurled at police officers during this afternoon's disturbances


Former Commons speaker Betty Boothroyd also joined the condemnation of the attack. She said: 'This is an absolute insult to the memory of thousands of women of my generation who sweated blood and tears for the freedoms that some members of this generation have abused by this act. 
'The vandals who attacked the memorial are beyond contempt. They talk of scum - they should look in the mirror.' 
However, left-wing writer and activist Laurie Penny confirmed that she did not have a problem with the attack on the memorial commemorating the sacrifice of women during the Second World War. 
In a series of Tweets, Ms Penny said: 'I don't have a problem with his. The bravery of past generations does not oblige us to be cowed today.
'The people vandalising of memory of what the women of World War II fought for are sitting in Downing Street right now. 
'What is disgusting is that some people are more worried about a war memorial than the destruction of the welfare state.'
