Aibu to be very happy Elon Musk is putting so much pressure on Stamer over the grooming gang tragedies?

Labour seem to be very annoyed. Surely this is a very good thing ?

Of all the countries in the world where the most apallling things happen to young girls, why is this one-man crusader singling out the UK?

*Edited for typo

Why not though? Labour were happy to send activists to the US to campaign on behalf of Kamala Harris.

In any case this is a crime against humanity, as as such he is entitled to use his platform to seek justice, whatever his motives.

At least an investigation would show that the police are corrupt and incompetent. The claim that the police didn’t investigate because of fears of being seen as racist was always bullshit. Although most Mumsnetters swallowed that lie.

I think people need to stop engaging with a certain poster who is obviously very disturbed. It's best to just report.

Fair enough, but you need to have a bit of trigger warning before you start saying stuff like that on a forum. It’s you know really disgusting. We are well aware of how disgusting child abuses but what is wrong is for the far right to try to use it for their political motivations when they don’t give a shit either about the victims.

Firstly, I am not disturbed. I hate the far right with a passion because you are traitors to this country. You also don’t give a shit about the victims. You do it because you want your political ideology acknowledged

The Tory Government, including Badenoch, almost entirely ignored the recommendations of the forensic, long-running independent inquiry into child sex abuse that reported in 2022

If Elon gave a shit he’d be making a hell of a lot more noise about women’s plight in Afghanistan with his buddy Trump , that he has already got a avast hold over . With Elon behind trump, trump could be swayed to take some meaningful action.
well that’s if Elon actually gave a fuck about MVAWG….he doesn’t…
he cares about polluting the world with his right wing aperteid politics, and his own profiteering

the pressure to hold an enquiry with labour is less likely to happen with Elon wanging his Willy around on social media. The pressure needs to come form the electorate

if OP and others feel strongly, write to your MP. While you’re at it also write to cricket board and MP to step in and give the taliban some clear signals that we will not support or stand by while they’re holding 52% of the population to near prisoner status with no access to medical care.

its all part of the same shit, rape gangs, taliban edicts on women….butndont for an instant delude yourself that right wing men like Elon musk, garage give a fuck about them. After all womens treatment in Afghanistan was one of the “reasons” citied for the war there for years, but become irrelevant and disposable once the USAdecided this war was too costly. They literally walied away knowing women’s plight would be sacrificed again.

Starmer needs telling, but I wish Musk would get his neb out of our business and our politics. It's got fuck-all to do with him. He has already inserted himself into the American Government, he's not getting into ours!!! Thank FUCK Nigel Farage is not Prime Minister, considering how friendly he is with Trump and Musk!

This. It's pretty worrying that some are thinking that's fine because in this instance he is saying something they agree with.

Exactly. Why didn’t Musk raise it then?

He’s such a right wing loon.

Oh don’t be ridiculous.

This is the dumbest thing I have ever read on here in my how ever many years of being on MN.

Like honest to christ how do you function in the world being this stupid?

Why is that the important part in this for you, do you live in the UK? Do you find this whole cover up from the government outrageous? If you do, focus on that.

As a mother of 5 girls I am very worried about this, its not the first time and it needs to be in the public eye however it is put there.

Yes, YABVU. He should mind his own business. Yes, an enquiry could be a good idea but it is absolutely nothing to do with him. His pots of money do not give him the right to interfere in the running of other countries, and it’s worrying that you think they do.

And it would be sensible for you to learn the correct name of the British PM.

Agreed. This is an attempt by a foreign billionaire to topple our elected government.

💯

Yes it is great. Even better that he is giving money to Reform.

He's deluded if he thinks he will get his sticky far right mitts on our Government, and that he can insert himself into it.

He doesn't know the British very well. He'd get his arse handed to him on a plate.

This.

This is probably more a case of gender (and possibly class discrimination). There are so many crimes against women that are not dealt with properly by our under-resourced police force. When you look at the information on counting dead women you realise that many of the women who were killed by their partners reported it to the police and received no effective help.

If this is directed at me I am lifelong Labour supporter. My belief is Musk wants to destabilise the UK in order to get his hands on the NHS. The first thing Reform would do is privatise it hence their friendship. However, the delusion and euphemisms and slurs about being right-wing that you are bandying about are exactly why people were allowed to do these things to these girls. If people want to have a conversation about this then you need to be honest about what occurred.

We could stop him (and any other foreigner) from donating to British political businesses. Sorry, parties.

People have been raising it for years now and were labeled as...you guessed it "right wing loons". What a fucking crock of shit when these girls are being raped and everyone knows it, but no matter who calls attention to it, they are derided. If I recall correctly one of the victims was even arrested for a hate crime not too long ago for speaking out. But yes, Elon Musk is the problem 🙄

As the soon-to-be grandmother of a girl, I feel it is important that we should continue to have governments that we can hold to account, and not governments answerable only to foreign (or even British) billionaires

It is right wing when other scandals such as the CSE in the church is not mentioned, were those affected less traumatised because it was white men perpetrating the abuse?
