By retweeting Britain First, Trump offends a decency he cannot understand | Brendan Cox
When the most powerful man in the world becomes a purveyor of hate, our best response is tolerance
• Brendan Cox is the widower of former Labour MP Jo Cox and co-founder of More In Common
If you’re like me, you check the news each morning with the worry that Donald Trump might have tweeted his way to the third world war. So in some ways, the fact that “all” he did this morning was to retweet the world-view of a far-right extremist from the organisation Britain First is something of a relief. At least we’re not waking to gifs of mushroom clouds over Korea. But that is to take false comfort. That shouldn’t be where we set the bar for the president of our closest ally.
It is fair to say that all of us who spend too much time on social media have probably retweeted people we might not be aware of, or who have dubious views on other issues. If this were a one-off, I might give President Trump the benefit of the doubt. But it’s not. Trump, from the beginning, throughout his campaign and since the election, has used hatred and bigotry to mobilise support.

Pamplona gang rape victim: “Don’t leave me alone, please”
An 18-year-old woman who has never had group sex before – who has never performed the sort of sexual practices described in the prosecutor’s report – decides to quickly find a place where she can have an orgy with a group of men she met in the street seven minutes ago, and about whom she knows nothing: not even their names or even how many of them there are. She then has sexual relations with all five of them, saying next to nothing at all, and all of this without the use of a condom.
Northamptonshire may close up to 28 of its 36 libraries
UK on the down-low slide into nothingham!
Authors including Alan Moore and Philip Pullman join readers condemning move being considered as a way to make £115m in savings
Proposals to axe more than half of Northamptonshire’s public libraries have been denounced by readers and authors. Up to 28 of the county’s 36 libraries could be closed if the plans get the go-ahead. The move has been branded “monstrous” by Watchmen creator Alan Moore.
Northamptonshire county council, which needs to claw back £115m in savings over the next four years, has launched a consultation on the future of its library service. Three options have been put forward: two would shut the doors of 21 libraries; the third would close 28, leaving only eight branches open.
