Musk: British citizens have had enough
As “Politico” notes, the owner of the Labor Party led by Keir Starmer won a decisive victory.
In his latest attack on Starmer's government, Musk was responding to a message about an online petition that has spread rapidly across the UK calling for a snap general election. Musk shared it and explained: “British citizens are tired of the tyranny of the police state.”
A day ago, the world's richest man, who is set to join Donald Trump's government and lead the “department of public efficiency”, released a chart showing Prime Minister Keir Starmer's declining approval ratings. “People's voice is a great medicine,” he added.
Musk's battle with the British government escalated in the summer when the businessman pleaded guilty to the murder of three schoolgirls in Southport. As “Politico” recalls, he shared his thoughts on the police in the UK, spread false information about the government's response and accused Starmer of running a “two-tier” justice system that treats white people more harshly. A house in Great Britain is inevitable.” In response, he was not invited to the International Investment Summit organized by the British government.

Musk defends a right-wing activist
Musk's comments about Britain this week were not limited to criticism of Starmer. The owner of the X website also commented on the 18-month prison sentence for right-wing activist Tommy Robinson, who was found guilty of spreading false claims about refugees and contempt of court. Musk wrote that Robinson's prison sentence “cannot be considered fair or just” at this time.
The Guardian reminds that Robinson, among other things, helped incite riots on the streets of Great Britain after killing three girls at a dance class in Southport. According to the British newspaper, Robinson, who had not previously attended the trial in London, went on holiday, “where he took to social media to spread false information about the attack in Southport and called on his supporters to 'stand up'.” ” Violent riots spread across two dozen cities and towns, with some participants chanting “Tommy Robinson” as they threw bricks, set fires and attacked police officers.
