That's insane.

If we flew the American flag at half-mast for every murder of an American who deserved better, who deserved to be heard and respected and live in peace, we’d never raise the flag to its full height again.

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell.
Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass.
That, right there, is the problem.
