PM Starmer
is ignoring Musk, in general

He is not the next President


Musk was Born in South Africa
never able to run the USA

Many people feel defensive when foreigners criticise their country, especially
when it is foreigners they feel entitled to dislike – rich, white Americans. Many
also argue that as an outsider, Musk shouldn’t stick his nose into British politics,
an argument often made by people who comment non-stop about American
affairs, or from politicians who are happy to exploit foreign diaspora politics
when it suits them electorally.

I agree that Musk’s uniquely powerful position, by owning a social media
platform, makes it inappropriate or unwise for him to be overtly political; his
language is inflammatory at times, and he doesn’t seem that meticulous about
fact checking; his tweeting feels very erratic, even unhinged. But as one of
Albion’s Seed, he has a right to speak up about what’s happening in the Old
Country – and he’s right to notice how bad things have got.

You can't trust online polls like that. The voters are self-selecting rather than representative, and the results depend on which accounts share them.

I don't really know what the answer is. Trust has diminished in what were once considered trusted sources, but this really isn't a new phenomenon. Think about the trash that the sun, mail, express, news of the world, daily and sunday sport have been publishing for decades. We have always had to be critical of the information being presented to us. The only difference in todays world, is that news is global and instantaneous. You have to be constantly assessing rather than once a day or week

Just read this and thought it was appropriate to post here.

Some basic facts about Tommy Robinson and grooming gangs.

Yes, it's true that Robinson was talking about this problem whilst many denied it existed. And those that smeared him for doing so still owe him an apology.
But the number of grooming gangs Tommy Robinson helped to expose and convict is zero. In fact, a number of the courageous journalists and prosecutors that did all the hard work to achieve justice for the victims will tell you that the behaviour of Robinson and the EDL made their job more difficult.
Then there's the fact Robinson was repeatedly convicted for contempt of court relating to a number of active grooming gang criminal trials. He actually holds the unique position of being the only person in the UK that nearly jeopardised *actual* criminal justice for the victims of these disgusting crimes.
Robinson has proved himself to be a lying criminal that refuses to take any responsibility for his behaviour. He repeatedly breaks the law then frames the inevitable consequences as a state conspiracy to silence him. The begging bowl then follows. And his credulous cultists fall for it every time.

If you follow X, you will now be asking

When is Starmer going to be arrested?

When is Jess going to be arrested

Time for the king to abdicate in favour of Lord Elon

How can I set up a recall petition as our MP openly admitted to supporting grooming gangs by opposing a public inquiry. They can bleet all they like that they do not support such gangs, but their actions prove 1000% they wholeheartedly support these grooming rape gangs, otherwise they would have voted for an enquiry...
