The Murdoch press surpasses itself.

Some people might remember the Sun, celebrating the sinking of the Belgrano with the title ‘Gotcha’. Now its mate is celebrating the deaths of sailors thousands of miles from Iran with video of the event. Survivors left to die. I will not post a link to a disgusting article that revels in other people’s deaths, so simply the headlines. At the same time US commanders are ‘preaching’ of a war in Gawds Name.

@Wen The torpedoing of the Belgrano reminds me of the mildly shocking sight of the Jolly Roger being flown from the conning tower of HNS Conqueror when she was returning to the submarine base.
@chrysalis There actually is a tradition of that in the RN dating back to the First World War!
@Wen There’s a great book about the incident, Sink the Belgrano, by Mike Rossiter.
