ROSS CARK: For as we have seen over the past few days with ITV's drama series Mr Bates vs. The Post Office, there is nothing that grabs at the human spirit as much as raw, blatant injustice. The sight of Post Office executives walking away with large pay raises on the back of beheaded lives and reputations of innocent sub-postmasters and mistresses is a mark of injustice. Sure, it's easy to become cynical about stories of injustice in an age where so many, such as Harry and Meghan, claim victimhood. However, a true sense of injustice is for 700 sub-postmasters to be wrongfully accused of fraud or falsifying information. Thankfully, the majority of us will never be brought to the courts or even jailed for something we didn't do. But, we do have evidence of some sort of injustice. Sadly, it has joined modern life.

Nikki Haley said on Tuesday that she would press social media firms to ban anonymity online in order to combat hate speech. The plan's detractors slammed it as fascist. Ron DeSantis, who has seen Haley close to winning second place behind Donald Trump, said it was 'dangerous and unconstitutional.' The Florida governor said: 'You know who were anonymous writers back in the day?When they wrote the Federalist Papers, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison were among the writers. They were not "national security threats," nor are there many conservative Americans across the country exercising their Constitutional right to express their opinions without fear of being threatened or dismissed by the school they attend or the organization they work for.' Haley is accused by Vivek Ramaswamy of promoting censorship. 'NikkiHaley is *openly* calling for the government to ban speech,' he said.

Bethany Mandel (left), editor of the Heroes of Liberty book series (top right), told Fox News that the Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) had declined to recommend three non-fiction books to the school recently. Mandel said she created the book series to provide parents and educators with an alternative to progressive literature, which she believes is being 'forced into primary school children' in the district. Some people took to social media to insist that 'this nonsense' be stopped "for the sake of our children and this world.' Mandel said that what's happening in classrooms is a known problem, but that the publishing world is being pushed by a 'tidal wave of wakes.'
