This is why after 16 years, yesterday, I deactivated my Twitter/X account. I’d been soul searching for a while, but the Nazi salutes were the final straw.
A paper that understands its responsibility, in a country that knows it when it sees it.

Some things never change. This is today’s actual front page of English ‘newspaper’* the Daily Mail. I’ve double-checked & it really is. The Daily Mail is infamous for supporting Hitler & his politics in the 1930s & continues its far right extremism today.
