That cuntry’s sovereignty should end at his borders.

“Their attempts to filter became part of the noise, and they seem unable to bring any more thought to bear on the matter that that which leads them to try to simplify what can only be understood by coming to terms with its complexity” insights like this is why I love reading Iain M Banks

Here’s hoping he majority of people are sane intelligent adults and see through Musk’s lunacy and he gets his comeuppance

What a thoroughly nasty man Elon Musk is. No-one elected him. He’s just a huge troll sat on a pile of gold, chuckling about what kingdom he can smash up next.

Farage’s refusal to condemn Musk’s outrageous statements shows total unfitness for public office. But @bbclaurak.bsky.social fails to hold him to account & allows whole interview to be on his terms. No focus on Reform’s divisive policies & no effective challenge to his dangerous insinuations

Never feed this machine.

Politicians using polarising language is a bugbear of mine. Implying a wrong is the domain of a political leaning is lazy and divisive. Whether left or right, ridicule and racism is wrong and not exclusive to either.

Everyone should listen to this. Time to get angry
