Hello Mr. Newton Dunn,
You posted a tweet attempting to diminish the military service of the Vice President of the United States. In response, letβs take a moment to examine your own background.
You are the son of Bill Newton Dunn, a Liberal Democrat Member of the European Parliament, and Anna Arki, who led a pro-European NGO. You were raised in a world of connections and influence. Unlike
@JDVance, who came from a humble background and served in the U.S. Marine Corps, you never served in the military. Instead, you built a journalism career from a privileged starting point, with access to elite institutions and high-profile media roles.
Let's look at your full biography:
πΉ1973: Born in St Pancras, London
πΉApprox 1995: Graduated from the University of Edinburgh with an MA (Hons) in English Literature
πΉ1996: Began as a diary reporter at The Daily Telegraph (Peterborough column)
πΉ1997: Joined the Daily Mirror graduate trainee scheme, later covering national news
πΉ2004: Hired by The Sun as defence editor, reporting on conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq
πΉ2009: Promoted to political editor at The Sun
πΉ2020: Left The Sun to become chief political commentator and presenter at Times Radio
πΉ2021: Briefly wrote a weekly political column for the Evening Standard
πΉApprox 2022: Joined talkTV as presenter of its prime-time news show (later retitled First Edition)
So before you condescend to someone who actually served, perhaps you should reflect on the privileged path that placed you behind a desk instead of on the battlefield.
Respectfully: sit down.
