Being wounded in combat while black is now “DEI woke shit”.

When the pendulum inevitably swings back, it is going to be brutal about what Trump and his racist/misogynist ilk have been doing.

I think we are just about at the point where people lower down the chain need to start asking if 'I was only obeying orders' will be a sufficient defence to save their jobs.

I mean, would you want to be the person identified as actually doing the removing of MoH recipients from the Arlington Cemetery website?

Well, obviouly, I wouldn't!

I assume that like most other millitary associated organisations in the US, the people working there are likely to be Vets themselves. So to rephrase it, what Vet in their right ind would want to be the one identified as having removed MoH recipients based on their race?

I would definitely be looking for new job sooner rather than later.

There's probably an element of troublemaking. People against the reforms who decide to rub their hands and say 'right, getting rid of DEI are we?...' and look for the most damaging ways to do it. That's not an excuse for the actions - someone should be keeping a closer eye.

Ah, a "false flag" operation by left wing radicals. I never thought of that.

Last we heard from Cummo, he thought the Tories were beyond hope and needed killing off.

Anyhow it sounds like Kemi is in for a fun year:

“We’ll get her out sharpish,” one plotter said. “More and more MPs realise she’s doomed. A grid is coming together to bury her in disaster from the locals, keep the pressure on, then f*** [up] conference,” the party’s annual get-together in October. If that does not force Badenoch out, many think the final straw could be the Welsh elections in the spring of 2026, which polls currently suggest Reform will win.

At some point, supporters of the Conservative Party have to realise that constantly electing and deposing leaders is not a winning strategy… not that the plotters described in that article are supporters of the Conservative Party.

Been coming a while.
If the Supreme Court allows this to stand (hard to see it not reaching them), it would allow the US President to deport anyone not born in the US (citizen or not) at will.

Sad to see the US becoming a failed state . We’re so lucky to live in a country where we still have certain standards that we expect from politicians. I’ve not seen a politician here stand up and mock a disabled person , the tip of the iceberg of detestable behaviour from the stain on humanity .
