A Proper English Lady

Wendy Lewis was caught on security cameras relieving herself on the Blackpool Cenotaph war memorial a woman branded. Shortly afterwards, she performed a sex act on a man nearby. But now, Lewis has gone on the lam before her sentencing, prompting authorities to seek out "Britain's most disgusting person", or as we would say on this side of the ocean, a reality television star.

An arrest warrant was issued for Lewis, who was given a "guard of dishonour" by angry veterans when she appeared at Blackpool Magistrates Court, and found guilty of outraging public decency (that's public urination). Due to be sentenced last Friday, she arrived 40 minutes late to court, but vanished before her case began.

"It is unforgivable what she did in the face of these dead men," said former Royal Marine James Baker (88), who was one of few from his unit who survived the Normandy Landings. "It can be neither forgiven nor forgotten by the ex-services' community and the wider community as well. True, but it wasn't actually in their faces - just on the monument. "If she had expressed remorse, and meant it, we could forgive then, if not forget. But I'm sorry, she is just beyond the pale." Okay, old timer, we get it!

Alongside Baker was Don Aiken, another D-Day vet. "We have all come to show our disgust at the actions of this woman on the Cenotaph, which is sacred to ex-servicemen personally, because it holds the names of so many of our comrades who died in two world wars to defend the freedom of our nation." Damn, I haven't seen old men this rilled up since Bran Flakes went on sale!

Lewis was dubbed "Britain's most disgusting person" by Ian Coleman, of the Royal British Legion veterans' charity, after an earlier court appearance. Before that she was just known as "incontinent Wendy, the slut".
