The howls of outrage, enthusiastically revived and newly focussed since the US election news has gone stale, home in on Musk’s alleged reprehensible business practices, such as his refusal to allow unionised labour and whole other catalogues of corporate malfeasance and character flaws.
Such a surprise that the globe’s wealthiest human has not always
played the game with a straight bat.
I am neutral about Musk and know next to zero about him
apart from all his money and the Tesla. I’m not convinced that the mining of
rare metals for the batteries of the electric car is either sustainable or
ethical but that’s entirely another squabble with the Greens. Perhaps this
means I’m not really neutral about Musk, but I defend his right to have an
opinion on racially targeted sexual abuse of children.
Although the majority of sexual abuse in Britain is
perpetrated by white British people, unsurprisingl, considering the racial
makeup of its populace, the British Pakistani community is heavily
over-represented in these statistics, and although Pakistani Muslim girls have
been abuse victims, the majority have been white British working class girls.
To be incensed that a renowned global figure is elbowing his
way into the affairs of a nation of which he is not a citizen is to be ignorant
of history, ancient and modern. The Pope of the day excommunicated Henry VIII
for being murderously careless with his wives and our allies -and we- have
intervened bellicosely in places like Viet Nam, Afghanistan and many other countries
who had their own governments through which to make decisions, thank you very
much.
The character of the person shining the light is irrelevant.
As far as I’m concerned it could be Taylor Swift, Kamala Harris or that woman
married to Prince Harry.
The important issue is that thousands of police, council and
social workers, politicians, journalists and leaders of inquiries have
variously denied and minimised the fact that gangs of Muslim males drugged,
raped and trafficked children, and in a reprehensible effort to maintain
‘community cohesion’ and avoid being labelled racist, people in charge tried to
make it go away.
Victims are thought to be in the tens of thousands and none
who have the courage to speak up feel that their experiences are even now of
interest to those who should mind.
In Britain they estimate that around 1.3% of reported rapes
result in a charge and far fewer in a conviction. This speaks to the continued dismissal
of rape victims’ credibility. Even the Israeli women violated on October 7 and
later have had their claims rejected because in all the live recordings of the Hamas
pogrom there have been no actual rape videos. Footage of dead women with
their legs splayed and their underwear removed and many firsthand accounts of rape-
but no film evidence!
Remember how rightly pleased the world was to accept the testaments
of Me Too claimants? Perhaps the narrative has shifted now, and we should
change the hashtag to #MeToo-unless you’re a Jew or an underprivileged white
girl from a British council estate.

Makes so many pertinent and powerful points.
Can't help noticing that the rape gang scandal, widely described as the greatess scandal in UK history, has not, so far as I'm aware, received even a cursory mention in the NZ media. No need to ask why.
Elon M was " not the first person " to highlight what has happened in the UK, involving young white English Girls and Pakistani Males - that achievement goes to Tommy Robinson - for which when he attempted -
[1] - to raise concerns re the mass immigration from France into the UK and the potential of issues going forward (which have now become apparent)
[2] - to raise the concerns of the Grooming gangs, and stated atrocities, then
before the People of England (Scotland & Wales) - the derision placed upon his shoulders was immense - even when he created a YT channel for the sole purpose - to expose the corruption in both National UK Politics, Councils then later the Police - in one instance earned him a prison sentence and of recent times has also placed him in prison, for contempt of court, which related to a young man, an immigrant to the UK. I am not sure that Court data will be readily available for Public consumption due to the nature of Offender and victims involved.
In relation to the Grooming Gangs, at that time it was swept under the carpet, and even now those who are duly elected MP's in Westminster, including Tories (in opposition), as of this time, the number who voted " against an enquiry, into the past events of Grooming Gangs was significant enough to raise eyebrows ".
Me thinks that Elon M has been looking at 2024 video footage of what The People of England are rising up against, which is also being ignored by the current Labour Govt.
Oh and for Martin Hanson - what is also missed, by our vaunted MSM, is the crime committed by illegal immigrants into the UK - one such crime landed UK citizens in prison for " terrorism" - under Hate Speech Laws - following the death of several young girls in a dance training hall.
I believe that Starmer is in a bit of trouble and may not last as PM.
Martin raises a good point that has been noticeable. I put the UK's Cass Report in the same category as a global news story ignored by the NZ media. Also China cutting under water cables connected to Taiwan.
Starmer was the head of the CPS and used this role to smear Assange as a rapist and to pressure Sweden to extradite despite the only evidence held by the Swedes being an unused condom with no DNA on it.
