Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

Hello, former newspaper editor here. You'd have to be astoundingly stupid and incompetent to have printed this story. Unfortunately that describes the majority of the Telegraph's leadership.

Five years ago Edward Colston's statue got thrown into Bristol Harbour. Despite many arguing that it was cancel culture, I'd suggest that the opposite was true as far more people subsequently learned about Colston's life as a result than had ever done before. An era defining moment either way.

The Jonathan Joss story is so hideous that every time you look at it again, it gets worse. Stay safe, look out for each other. The worst of us have been weaponized and approved by the worst people in power.
