I have a dream too: no clickbait

MARTIN Luther King was a giant of a man, someone who understood the power of language and the importance of balance and fairness. So it has saddened me this week to discover that his daughter, Dr Bernice King, does not appear to have inherited his values.

She gleefully jumped on the ‘Prince William racist’ bandwagon after it was reported that he had said something about war in Europe being less common than war in Africa. This, according to Dr King, was an ‘horrific’ example of his in-built prejudice. When it then turned out that he had said nothing of the sort, merely that for his generation the idea of war in Europe felt quite alien, instead of acknowledging crossed wires and apologising, she doubled down.

One expects this sort of clickbait nonsense from Harry and Meghan sycophant-in-chief

Omid Scobie (who put the story about in the first place). But shouldn’t a woman of Dr King’s standing know better?
