As an 'ex squaddie' I was sickened by both the rent-a-mob scum rioting, and the damage to a war memorial!
There is never an 'appropriate' day to act like scum, but to cause deliberate vandalism to war memorials on V.E day was insensitive, dis-respectful and repulsive!
The rioters should have been herded along to Chelsea Barracks and given an almighty kicking by the resident Regiment, the only punishment the Marxist scum may fear.
