As a journalist, I have never had much respect for the third-raters who populate so many local and regional newspapers, and expect very little from them.
I must say that I would have expected better from Tapper's Dad, despite his loss, who should surely know better than his reported comments would indicate.
And like many of those journos who sometimes work closely with the RAF, I'd want to add my congratulations to OC CXX, who has always seemed like a bloody good chap, and one who goes the extra mile for his people, and who therefore deserves this honour.
