We Need To Do More For Our Veterans

By David Warren | Wed 5th June 2019 - 12:30 pm

This year is the 75th anniversary of the D Day landings and we are seeing a lot of media coverage of this important historical event.

Firstly, Leo McKinstry’s sensitive, and thought provoking piece deftly picking at the complex moral issues surrounding the execution in China of Akmal Shaikh: HEROIN TRAFFICKERS DESERVE TO DIE.

No, wait, sensitive and thought provoking it is not. For a line-by-line demolition of the mountains of crud streaming forth from the piece, …
