The Venn diagram of people who voted Brexit because ‘sovereignty’ and people who are now cheering on unelected billionaire Elon Musk’s interference in our politics is, I suspect, almost a perfect circle. Had a bit of an exasperated rant about this last night on @lbc.co.uk …. - ThreadSky

Reform just exists to annoy those who reason and have a moderate education. Save your energy folks.

The useful idiots are being played but they’re too full of hate to see it.

chillraven.bsky.social•101 days ago

Are you going to be addressing the question of how uk media talks about trans people and the explosion of hate crime (becoming increasingly violent) that is happening in response?

Feels like you're the only person on LBC who would have a sympatetic ear for the trans people in that discussion

It's especially relevant as regards Musk as he hates his own trans kid as Elon is a eugenicist prick who only wants boys.
His money is only going to make a bad situation worse for us.

Two articles out this week. One explaining how misogynists hate women's sports. Another article say how misogynists hate trans women. Another perfect circle.

The overlap with Brexiters and far right aligned who ass kiss Musk and Trump?

UK media boosted Farage and transphobia. 🫤

“… with people like that you can do whatever you want”

Yet this bunch thought Obama, with his tiny comment was interfering 🤔

natashadevon.bsky.social•101 days ago

Also true - Obama wasn’t even commenting on U.K. politics per se, just being honest about what the us stance would be in the event we brexited (useful info) and everyone lost their shiznay.

Very true!!

geordiekakamora.bsky.social•101 days ago

Exactly this.

More needs to be made of the hypocrisy of some public figures.

Most people now see Brexit for the con it was, by those who orchestrated it and those who voted for it. Musk backing the Nazi-sympathising AfD says everything about what was really behind Brexit. It just took some a while to admit their truth.

Probably true, but concepts like "Venn Diagram" are beyond the understanding of the jingoistic 'gammon' who love Musk.

Anyway he was born in Souf Afrikha and that's pink on the imperial maps - makes him British, init?

Why is it people with the mic expect us to listen to them .when they don't respect the people with the vote...talk back

romanyflower.bsky.social•100 days ago

Any idiot can vote. And we would far rather listen to an intelligent discussion than the latest right wing pap.
