To want Elon Musk to stay the fuck out of U.K. politics?

[Birdscratch]

And German politics and just focus on the President he’s already paid for and turning X into a toxic wasteland.

Musk has exposed (checks) a despicable establishment cover up in the same way I am about to expose that water is wet

I guess he missed the BBC mini series and documentary, but at least he has the excuse of not having a TV licence.

Others seem to think that because they hadn’t heard about it, no one had.

He's a busy guy, donchaknow. Those cars may drive themselves, but they sure as hell don't sell themselves.

He’s a major problem, and emblematic of the major problem with the world now. One man with more wealth than entire countries. One man trying to buy up our country, like a modern day Julius Caesar.

We all know that we don’t have a democracy any more in the U.K. and the post war social contracts are over, but I see no reason why that means we should hand our country over to this rich fool any more than any other foreigner. We have enough problems with our own inheriting royal family, without handing all our peoples’ future over to a foreign overlord.

And I can assure you many aren’t.

But then it’s a pointless discussion , we have an issue that many people are bothered by and many aren’t, like almost every other issue. Many people think the nhs is a system not fit for purpose and needs a major overhaul, many don’t., this is why people vote differently - not exactly a ground breaking revelation is it?

What a total fuckwit he is.

Except Caesar had to actually do some actual work before he got to play with the big boys. Conquering Gaul, crushing the Germans and giving the Brits a spanking. He was also a masterful writer and orator.

And Caesar most certainly did not try to buy Britain. Quite the reverse. He suggested that Britain gave him a fucktonne of money and slaves to go away.

Actually, that gives me an idea ....

(readers notes - I used "Britain" in the classical sense of "that shithole over the sea", not the modern accepted geographical definition).

There may well be people in history who have achieved the heights of Caesar (bearing in mind Caesar himself wept salt tears when he realised the scale of Alexander the Greats conquests). However for most, it's Caesars palace. And much as I like Tom Jones, this isn't really his scene.

Well, if he wants to range himself against the Windsors, bring it on. Either way isn't a great sign that the UK will continue as the most absurd monarchy in Britain which suits me. Taking a leaf our of some posters here, maybe I should side with my enemies enemy.

Just shows he doesn’t understand that the King doesn’t actually do anything like that.

by that logic the uk can not have any of its security services being apart of the govts or politics of any other country

That isn't the shite monarchists have peddled for my adult life.

E2A: Boris illegal coercion of the Queen to prorogue parliament should have been and end to that "save us from tyranny (the irony)" bollocks. But I guess if you are happy with a monarch, your critical faculties are already a bit compromised.

Wealthy people are, in fact, allowed to have opinions

Well of course they are. We are wealthy. We have opinions. Why would we try to interfere with/influence the politics of another nation?

I seem to recall not so very long ago - in fact - the Republican Party and Trump’s spokespeople bleating very loudly and dramatically about what they perceived to be interference by members of the British Labour Arty.
Why is it acceptable that an unelected spokesperson (gobshite) for the President Elect should be considered entirely legitimate in doing precisely the same thing whilst throwing his dollars at a minority (or any, in fact) British political party?

A new leader won't make the slightest bit of difference with the majority of the media against Labour. They'd have to be performing actual miracles to stand even a chance of any positive reporting.

The problem is Elon Musk is right.
When Starmer was DPP he didn't prosecute these gangs because it would upset the Muslim community.
He deserves everything EM is calling for

Do you have proof of that assertion?

Muski says so

We all int he US and UK have a right of free speech. We can comment on other countries. I comment on Israel (I support it). Other people who are not Israeli and often are not from that part of the world even go on marches in the UK. Is that any different from Mr Musk posting comments on X (other than Musk does not make London a no go area of jews in the process so is going about things in a better way)?

My head is spinning from the names changing going on 😵‍💫

Given that Mr Musk is effectively the President Elect’s right-hand man, it is not really the same as some rando saying these things.

But either way, no one should be calling Jess Phillips a rape genocide apologist. I’m not sure freedom of speech covers that sort of comment either.

Wealthy as we know you to be, you’re a pauper compared with Musk and have considerably less influence. There’s no comparison.

And yet…

He's making mischief. He looks like a fool, but he won't care - especially not when he has thousands of sycophants telling him how wonderful he is. He might be trying to distract attention from his true agenda, which is enriching himself and his companies through his influence over Trump.

Presumably you'd be saying the same thing if the Tories or Reform had won? 🤔

It feels like at attempt to destabilise the UK government

Trust me, Starmer's doing that perfectly well on his own...

People forget quickly how toxic it was for anyone to say anything deemed racist or transgender. If I had been a police person or social worker at the time of the gangs I'd have kept my head down rather than risk being sacked for racist comments.
And it wasn't the bosses who were to blame for that it was the media and the puliic - happy to jump on any bandwagon and see any one deemed to have stepped out of the 'wokist' line to have their life or career destroyed.

So I blame the public as much as anyone else for the lack of safety for the girls.
