Fuck OFF Elon Musk

Elon Musk appeared via video link today at Tommy Robinson's Racist March wittering on about woke mind viruses and calling for the dissolution of parliament.

All I really want to say is FUCK OFF ELON MUSK.

For me, it was relief that an "outsider" recognised the trouble we're in.

Because our own government and people such as yourself, sure as hell don't.

What trouble are we in, exactly? Are you talking about the economy or something else?

Just wanted to correct some of the information on asylum seekers here;
a/ if they are in a hotel and fed they get around £9 per week, if not fed then around £40.
b/ they do not get phones from the government at all - but you may think this as it happened in rare, limited and specific circumstances in the worst of covid for some asylum seekers eg/ sick ones who may have been separated from family. If they get phones now they are from charities.
c/ healthcare is ltd to angel care not long lists of appointments across the NHS,
d/ the hotels may cost pounds but that mainly goes to the rich owners who couldn’t and don’t want to run them as functioning hotels. When the Tories allowed the backlog to build up and the hotels to fill then some of their mates kindly helped out getting hotels and gov’t contracts. We should cherchez the cash not the asylum seekers.
I’ve not heard of English Heritage, I think it’s either invented or the English Heritage themselves being charitable - the asylum seekers have little to do except hide from protestors, are crammed into small rooms in dire places and most came from terrible situations so I applaud charities helping out.

At least the politicians don't hurl bottles of piss at them. I'm sure the police would have felt more appreciated if they hadn't been bombarded with urine.

Your right, but it probably came as a welcome change after the horrendous injuries and behaviour towards them by PA protesters the other weekend.

MrsSkylerWhite · 15/09/2025 13:45

I’m waiting for you to explain which insults I have hurled at you @Petitchat .

I have not. Please retract that statement. Your parents emigrated to Spain. Ergo, immigrants.

Saying what?
People get arrested for inciting violence or other hate crime, not just posting harmless thoughts. Saying it on SM is the same as standing on the Town Hall steps and yelling it repeatedly.

ColdSalads · 15/09/2025 13:48

Recent reports in The Times (4 April 2025)[1] reveal that UK police make over 30 arrests per day for ‘offensive’ online communications under vague laws criminalising messages that cause ‘annoyance’, ‘inconvenience’ or ‘anxiety’. Over 12 000 such arrests occurred in 2023 alone

Look at videos from people who've worked in the hotels and have spoken to these 'asylum seekers'. They've heard it from the horses mouth re the phones.

Also, look at the video where somebody pretends to be an asylum seeker and attempts to enter a heritage place. I can't remember the name of it, but when the man said (in his 'foreign accent' after he pulled up to the office window in his car) that he didn't have any documents with him, he was just allowed through, no questions asked. He was just showing viewers how asylum seekers get free and preferential treatment.

You said they got too many benefits and that impacts U.K. citizens poorly, so that’s why you support these marches.
You’ve not argued my points on cost but still want them to leave - so what is the reason now?
And France - yes of course - I can’t seriously believe people don’t understand the UNCHR after all these similar type threads, so can’t be troubled to repeat again here.
