O/T:- ⚠️Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

[Med Pie]

I’m not really sure what you want me to say. I know quite a few farmers and they have differing opinions on the inheritance tax thing so you kind of misrepresent me when you say I agree with the farmers. We should remember though that no one likes paying tax but schools/hospitals/dustbins dont pay for themselves. We obviously agree on some things and not on others, we also possibly live in a different world. You think the budget will prove to be rubbish and Brexit will eventually turn out to be great(when and how?) i suppose time will tell us whos right.

We can see now quite clearly, why you politics are so aligned, you don't live in Basford do you.

Why what's wrong with Basford?

I'll let someone else explain my post.

So, is Starmer going to throw someone under the bus to buy him time and temporarily save his own skin because of the ?Grooming Gangs? enquiry fiasco?

I think it's a given that he won't go, neither will Raynor or Reeves they've craved power for so long, they won't give it up easily, I think Labour are so ignorant to public feeling, they'll try and weather the storm.

I see he pissed off a load of tourists in Madeira, after they'd waited three hours for a toboggan, he turns up and ponces straight to the front of the queue.

On the subject of leadership, even if it's only a party, it seems the love affair between Farage and Musk has hit a rather large bump in the road!

Musk must have some fantastic qualities to become the richest person in the world, but it seems that unless you agree with absolutely everything he says you will quickly be binned. The minute Farage refused to lick his arse he was disposed of big time. Musk reminds me of the rich kid at school who's dad bought him the best football. He would pick the teams, and if he happened to be losing he would take his ball away. Whether right, left or centre, is anyone happy that Musk could try and decide the direction of UK politics simply because he has the wealth?

Not just UK politics, I think that after buying the US election, he fancies doing the same in Germany, the UK, France and anywhere else that catches his eye. We just don?t have a recognised party far enough to the right for his tastes.

Unfortunately I think we are at the stage where big Corporations wield more power than Governments and that is frightening because we can't vote them out.

Hopefully folk will wise up and stop buying/using his products. I'd love to see NCFC leave x.com for a start, plus a whole host of companies that have that as their main support line.

As frightening are the thousands of Musk Starlink Satellites cluttering space. Who gave permission? Up to 40,000 planned causing concern not least to astronomers and other space missions. A bit like going around town with those pesky scooters zooming around everywhere.

You?ve not heard what David Icke predicts is going to happen with the Starlink satellites? 😳

I am quite concerned as to how Musk has got himself into a place of power by ?supporting? Trump and others have fallen for it.

The analogy of the rich kid and the football is spot on.

[maddogslater]

Or maybe Musk sees the injustice in out judicial system and calls it out, you can thank him for supporting Trump and saving democracy from the maoist Democrats

I agree with you on that. I also have the same concern about left wing billionaires manipulating the vote for their whims.

Interesting times to say the least. Musk has a lot of power for an unelected individual.

It's alarming the way he's trying to interfere with public opinion from afar. Some of his tweets have been completely reckless, like calling for Starmer to be arrested - and now, rather bizarrely, not only trying to increase exposure for Reform but undermining their leadership.

On the other hand, he's bringing to light one of the biggest scandals and attempted coverups in our nation's history - and the role the establishment and current leadership played in that.

It's all very on-brand though. He seems inherently childish and impulsive. He's morphed from perhaps the world's greatest entrepreneur to a power-hungry propagandist. Maybe that was the plan all along.

Worth also noting that what Musk is now doing has been going on since forever. The only difference now is that the "powers that be" aren't the only ones able to shape the narrative on a grand scale.
