    It's an ego trip. Nothing more, nothing less. And he's an ADHD man-child. He'll get bored of it soon and move on to the next thing. Then he'll have a disagreement with Trump, and that bromance will go down in flames.

    It follows logically, but we don't usually get that lucky.

    We are the footballing equivalent of the Tesla Cybertruck to be fair..... poorly built, out of shape, annoyingly expensive, prone to malfunction and utter ****.

    He’s achieved his objective of getting the cover up back into the public eye.

    People are correctly furious about this.

    It’s really weird that people hate Musk more than they hate the government cover up. It shows how propagandised most of you are imo.

    I know. It’s grim.

    There are a few of the victims that have spoken openly about it. Their stories are horrendous and a common factor is that Tommy Robinson is one of the only ones that stuck his head above the parapet and defended them/tried to expose things.

    I know he has many faults but it’s important for that to be public knowledge as a lot of the riots etc across the country stem from this issue.

    Many people have been aware of this for a long time and want justice. It’s not just musk being a man child. He is actually giving people a voice.

    People on here are saying “musk knows nothing” when they clearly do not understand the situation at all themselves.

    There is no government cover up.

    But in fairness I shouldn't get roped in, I don't think your posts represent your real point of view and you are fishing most of the time on the politics thread, i've bitten the bait too hard today, poor game from me.

    There categorically was a huge cover up.

    Councillors all knew this was happening.

    This is why when the riots were happening I said I am not surprised. All of this has been building up for ages. Yet people here thought I was making it up.

    There was and it was obviously a catastrophe, but it was uncovered years ago and has been well known about for a very long time.

    Of course it doesn't mean there isn't still a lot of work to be done.

    I agree with you that it was outrageous and that both justice needs to be done AND you can never stop work to prevent this kind of thing from reoccurring. You also cannot hide behind culture when dealing with these matters, if there is a trend you need a strategy to deal with it there is no excuse.

    But I am also very wary about Elon Musk, Kemi Badenoch and Tommy Robinson's weaponisation of rape victims for personal and political gain. Robinson of course nearly collapsed the trial of one of the offenders and Badenoch has been in a government that didn't follow up on the actions of the initial inquiry and is now asking for another inquiry, Labour need to implement the recommendations from the Jay inquiry as a priority.

    Has this thread really been reduced to us sympathising with Tommy Robinson? Really? Maybe I should go nuclear like Vin and get myself banned so I don’t have to read this twaddle.

    It is getting worse than Twitter and the whole thread revolves around one poster and his outlandish **** he spouts.

    I didn’t sympathise with him. I said he has been correct on this issue

    Don’t feed the troll (though I admit it’s hard not to).

    Having read back a few pages, can I remind people there is the ignore function to block people's posts that you don't want to read.
