What on earth is going on with him. Calling for Nagel Farage to resign. Now wanting the PM to resign amd said we have a tyrannical government. It's all a bit odd.

He needs to keep his nose out of UK politics. It's really non of his business.

Wasn’t it the Labour Party who literally sent 100 party members (paid for by tax payers) to the US prior to the 2024 election to try and sway the votes?

Wasn’t it Bill gates that recently paid a visit to Number 10? 🤔
Who remembers Obummer making a visit to Number 10 a few months back too.

This isn’t true.

Calling on the king to dissolve parliament? Demanding JP be jailed? Supporting a convicted felon who openly said he’ll make sure nobody has to vote again if elected? Of course it’s a threat to democracy.

And fuck off with your pearls and hysteria crap.

You’re wrong on the facts.

Some individual Labour party members went to the US to help their counterparts over there do stuff like post election leaflets through doors. In their own time and using their own money. Just like Nige Farage went over to join in the campaigning for his great pal Trump, remember?

People who are into politics do that kind of thing, they always have done. People of all political persuasions. None of it was paid for by taxpayers.

Are you also upset that Nige Farage and Reform were trying to “swing the vote” in the US against the Democrats?

So 100 then….

Elon is a busy guy but he became properly political recently and thought Nigel was a good pick. Then Nige backtracked on thinking deporting foreign criminals was a good idea. Then Musk learned about the rampant Pakistani child rape gangs that have been institutionally accepted by the UK Governments as part of a normal society for thirty years or so, and Farage not standing up for those girls apparently made an impression.

You know that those “child rape gangs” are also things that white British men do? Predatory men exist in all societies.

I notice the conservatives and Reform have been noticeably quiet on the fact that one of the investigated child sexual exploitation rings was in Cornwall, and made up of white British men.

Do those girls not count because they weren’t raped by brown men? Or is it simply that the exploitation happened in a conservative run local authority area, with a conservative police and crime commissioner, so there’s no party political point scoring to be done, so not worth mentioning?

Did those minutes ever come out from when Bill Gates visited Starmer recently? Where were the threads on that? What about George Soros, I've literally never seen a post about him here.

Don’t mention that. They don’t like Musk so he isn’t allowed to try to influence British politics openly through Twitter. But Gates doing it via clandestine meetings is fine.

Yes, he's completely insane. Too much money, too much power, no-one around him who will tell the truth. I don't understand why anyone thinks he's worth listening to.

I suspect he's on some kind of drugs binge at the moment.

I think it's called a "God complex".

Name one person sent to prison for being Far Right.

Just one will do.

He’s disrupting politics and shining a light on our politicians, even if he’s not really caring about the cause.

I think it’s good he’s making our government uncomfortable and Starmer is now having to face his tweets.

If they’ve got nothing to hide , they have nothing to fear.. unless anyone in power did cover it up..

Starmer has to face the electorate, he owes nothing to a selfish spoiled brat who is horrifically racist and doesn’t like democracy because it occasionally comes up with methods of protecting the people he doesn’t like.

Ah yes i missed their tweets on calling for the jailing, note no trial first, of elected ministers, of having polls on invading the UK or allowing their followers to call for the murder of Phillips and Starmer....

A world of difference between well tempered discussions between govts/business people and those calling for revolution.... and murder.

Sorry - thought I’d replied to this earlier. It’s getting harder to differentiate between the jokes and the absolute crazy jokers!

I think you mean “far right” or don’t youknow the difference imported by my use of inverted commas?

AngelicKaty · 06/01/2025 23:16

BiggerBoat1 · 06/01/2025 18:32

Surely he’s always been nuts.

Ditto Donald Trump.

Nigel Farage is just a proper wrong’un. Total moral vacuum.

Absolutely correct about all three. I had to laugh when Farage was calling Skum a "friend" on Kuenssberg yesterday morning and just a few hours later Skum was decrying Farage's capability as leader of Reform and calling for him to step down. There's no honour among thieves! 😂

DJT was born in Queens, NYC to an American father and Scottish mother.
Elon was born in SA - his grandmother was from Liverpool.
He is a US citizen.

Liverpool in England. (My neck of the woods)

If you'd actually made a point, I wouldn't have missed it.
