Left-wing Londoners riot, deface landmarks over massive conservative election victory

Hot Air reports:

Though it might be unseemly, I’m not above taking advantage of the opportunity to indulge in a little pro-American chauvinism. The United States admirably remains a nation in which no one riots after their side loses an election… for now.

On Thursday, an unexpectedly significant majority of British voters turned out to deliver Prime Minister David Cameron’s Conservatives a landslide victory. The British electorate shocked the world by handing the Tories an outright majority in parliament, but the results in England and Wales stood in stark contrast to those in Scotland. There, the formerly dominant Labour Party was virtually wiped out in favor of the much more radically progressive Scottish Nationalist Party. Whereas the general election results in England were seen as a mandate for prudence and restraint, SNP framed their election results as a mandate for progressivism and the end to the watered-down British version of economic austerity. The stage is set for conflict in the U.K.

But that conflict should not have resulted in violence. And yet, just hours after the votes had been cast and counted, a familiar band of infantile anarchists took to the streets to demonstrate aggressively against the conservative government.

Over the weekend, a deluge of student-age demonstrators armed with freshly printed signs promoting the “Socialist Worker” demanded that the Tories surrender the power their fellow countrymen and women granted them. It wasn’t long before those demonstrations in front of 10 Downing Street grew violent.

What would socialism be without destroying property.
