Quote of the day 26th November 2014

"When people can’t look at a tweet publicly taunting a man over the death of his six-year-old son and realise there is something deeply, horribly wrong, then they have a problem.

If they can’t understand that a tweet like that transcends the most basic laws of human decency, they have a problem.

And if they can’t simply and unequivocally condemn that tweet, without constructing straw men, throwing deflections and trying to draw spurious moral parallels, then they have a serious, serious problem."

(Dan Hodges, writing in the Telegraph yesterday about the Jack Monroe tweet)
