It happened in 2010; and it's happening again. The unfortunate manner in which some of the poor losers from the left of the political spectrum are venting their spleen on all and sundry as a consequence of the somewhat unexpected victory (and the measure of it) achieved by their Tory adversaries.
Although I'm not really surptised by the depth of their vitriol, what I find rather alarming (and, once again, the same thing happened after the previous general election) is the quite disgraceful language being used against individuals (and, in paticular, David Cameron) for whom the C word (and I don't mean cancer) seems to have become an accepted epithet.
Well, IMHO, it is not acceptable.
Furthermore, I doubt if the law permits such behaviour in a public place. And, in case anyone suggests that it might not be being used in a public place, I would point out that the internet, in general, and social-media, in particular has become very much a public place in recent times.
Perhaps, it's time something was done to deal with the issue.
