A Note to Elon Musk

Hear hear! I don't think we are alone. Germany and France are very unhappy with Musk interfering

👏👏👏

Brilliant 🙂

Hear hear 👏👏👏👏👏

I suggest you have a cup of tea
He sounds as if he's trying to start another Boston Tea Party anyway.

A coffee and a slice of American Pie perhaps?

This is an interesting article in Sky News about how Musk operates - finds an "issue/topic" which is likely to to ignite division, debate - in this case of course in the UK grooming gangs - and uses it for his own ends (in this case for example Tommy Robinson and telling Farage he is not fit to run Reform)

Musk is a man who has everything he needs and much more. He has to have a reason to get up every day and instead of using his great wealth for good he is meddling in other countries business and causing problems. He is a destructive influence.
I do like the note from * Whitewave*

I am not defending Elon Musk but it is on record that he had donated over $6 billion to charity (as of 2022)

His spacex satellites are keeping Ukraine connected to the world apparently free of charge.

His companies R & D on electric vehicles should help with climate change as well.

I am not in favour of his pronouncements on U.K. politics, but neither am I in favour of Bill Gates and the CEO of Black Rock cosying up to Keir Starmer.

Well I’m in the minority on this topic. I’m grateful to Musk for firing off salvos about the Pakistani rape gangs and the shocking complacency.. He has dragged this into the limelight. We’ve heard more about this in the last 10 days than in the last 10 years. Good for Elon Musk I say.

Yes some of what he says is a nonsense as he doesn’t understand our constitution. Like comparing apples and pears. But for this alone I salute him. He’s dared (free speech) to be directly scathing of how both governments denied it was happening at first then tried to deflect. Both parties have done much too little.

FG2 if his pronouncements on the Pakistani Rape Gangs leads to a positive outcome for the victims then I will be thankful to him.

It seems a too hot potato for the powers that be.

There’s just one little omission from the list - and that is ….. the Labour government has only a small percentage of eligible votes. A fluke result. So Musk is talking to the masses who did not vote in Uk elections. The dispossessed?

You are entitled to your opinions FGT

Personally, I think we need to cut off the oxygen of publicity, that Elon Musk so obviously enjoys, just ignore him and hope he goes away.

Totally agree.

I hope he keeps the pressure up!

Well said 👏👏👏

In terms of Pakastani Rape Gangs, there are paedophile rings (sorry I know it’s an incorrect spelling!) across the UK, of all race/nationalities. No more inquiries needed, action is what we need and local and central govt putting plans into action, sharing information and working more closely with schools and social care.

What we definitely do NOT need is Musk and Trump advising us how to move forward.

They need to look at their own country’s shortcomings, gangs, gun crime and child pornography and put this right before criticising any other country.

Trump, Farage, Musk all need to concentrate on their OWN jobs.

He isn’t helping the victims nor does he give a flying fig about them,
Yes the Jay report recommendations need implementing

The same could be said of many elections, in many countries. It’s none of Musk’s or Trump’s business and it causes totally unwanted trouble and chaos.

Did you support the riots and violence after the last US election? (When the Democrats took power)

As the article says,

"Condemnation of rape and grooming gangs isn't far-right in itself: the entire British public shares exactly the same position."

The article uses the example on the "how" of Musk uses his platform and contacts to try and influence Europe governments, to cause civil discontent, to push forward the likes of Tommy Robinson.
Look at the graphs in the article, and lists who how has been in contact in most of all.

Interested article from the BBC

Elon Musk's online attacks on former Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown over grooming gangs draw on a baseless claim about a Home Office memo supposedly issued 17 years ago, research by BBC Verify has established

He isn’t helping the victims nor does he give a flying fig about them

Who does?
Not many people sadly.
Which is why we need people like him to keep this issue in the news.

If EM pronouncements give the current Government a proverbial kick up the backside and the Jay report recommendations are implemented it will benefit all.

Totally agree.

I do wonder why he never raised this during the 14 years the Tories totally ignored it and refused to implement the 20 very clear and serious recommendation made by the full enquiry?

Strange no? Neither did Badenoch or Jenrick, for that matter.

One of the first things Rishi Sunak did when he became PM was push to have arrests of grooming gang members.

Over 500 arrests were made, many young girls were saved.

Not enough, I know but it was a start.

The Jay report (although welcome) was too wide ranging to focus on the heinous crimes committed by the Pakistani rape gangs. Horrifically too, this is STILL going on, hence the now urgent need for action.

A friend of mine read pretty much the whole report. She said Rochdale got a short paragraph. And it wasn’t about the Pakistani rape gangs, it was about Cyril Smith. Sigh.

And re Cyril Smith: the police inquiry closed due to ‘lack of evidence’.

Re Cyril Smith - it isn’t true the police inquiry closed for ‘lack of evidence’.
One interview with him was stopped when ‘men in suits from London’ arrived.
Lancashire police subsequently sent papers to the CPS. They were returned ‘not in the public interest to prosecute’. Senior officers went the the Chief Constable who reviewed the file and agreed Smith should be prosecuted. Those men in suits arrived at the CID office, assembled the team, removed all papers and told the team if the ever spoke about this, prison for breaching the OS was likely, being sacked a certainty.

This is all in the public domaine, one of the sergeants gave a detailed interview
