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

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

What! Not that they'll start reproducing on their own That'll be really mind-blowing

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?

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.

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.

It's almost like they are all in the same bed so to speak ...

What difference is there between Musk, brandishing his ideology and the left wing propaganda which is peddled to our kids, almost as soon as they enter education?

None really, apart from the delivery. See my last paragraph.
