Britain couldn’t be more justified to bomb detestable and racist Houthi thugs
It comes as anti-Western anti-Semites aim to ‘gaslight’ millions over Gaza
Our grim duty
THE case for bombing the Houthis could barely be simpler or more easily justified.
These Yemeni terrorists are trying to sink vast cargo ships in the Red Sea, supposedly to damage Israel but mainly to hold the global economy to ransom.

They do it on behalf of Iran’s malevolent Islamist regime and, they claim, in support of Hamas in Gaza.

All these anti-Western anti-Semites aim, to use a Labour buzzword, to “gaslight” millions into thinking that down is up, out is in and wrong is right.
No one should believe a word they utter.

HE tragic death of Tom Brown underlines why Rishi Sunak is right to bring a rapid conclusion to the Post Office IT scandal.
The postmaster won a bravery award for fending off armed robberies — but was then falsely accused of stealing.
The case collapsed, but bankrupted him.
Without the PM’s new law, opening the door to huge payouts, many more victims would die without seeing a penny or clearing their name on appeal.

But Covid lockdowns made vulnerable kids easy prey, away from health workers or nursery staff who might have spotted injuries.
We hope all those who clamoured so hysterically for those shutdowns reflect now on their horrific side-effects.
