Musk is attacking UK democracy, and we need a proper response.

So let’s get this petition going viral, and force a grownup course of action at the highest level.

Petition: Create a public consultation on freedom of speech and disinformation
We believe that lies, fraud, and media toxicity threaten our way of life. We think new mechanisms are needed to preserve confidence. How else can people know what to trust?

Happy Birthday to me. I’m 48 today, unless you work for Three UK, who refuse to accept that their agent miskeyed my DOB, in which case I turned 288 years old.

Fellas - If you feel the need to defend Gregg Wallace as a “top bloke” or feel that “nowadays you can’t tell a joke without someone getting upset” - put your phone down and go for a nice walk to get it out of your system or if by some miracle you’re not single, save it for your long suffering family

This is excellent.
I made an alternative version - the #retrotimes. Video coming soon!

I’m being told that I have been added
to some sort of MAGA Blocklist that labels
me as a MAGA supporter. I am not part of that
movement nor will I ever be. it makes me sick
to think that I am being mistaken as one of
his supporters. Please vet your block list as
they are being abused by bad actors.

THE SECRET DIARY OF ELON MUSK AGED 53 3/4

Monday November 18th

History may well want a clear account by an unprejudiced observer of what happened on our Alphas trip to the UFC. I am the only person qualified. RFK Jr, for all his qualities, does not possess my nerves of steel.

In a surreal turn of irony and hypocrisy, Ian Dunt blocked me for this post pointing out that the fake Badenoch account was amplified by him and his colleagues, so much for “alternative views” being important eh?
Forgive me Ian, but you and other industry colleagues have been using the “echo chamber” rubbish throughout the day and it turns out (A) it’s not real and (B) blame a lack of “verification system”. Same behaviours different platform. Would probably have gone unnoticed without journos preaching at us

"..Don't play games with me, Your Highness, you're part of the rebel echo chamber. If you intolerant leftists just let the Empire into your chats about stolen plans and listened to our views we'd all get along fine."

UK journalists talking about echo chambers when 0.2% of journalists are Black and 2.5% Asian and 51% of the most influential journalists went to private school is a bit of a joke

None of my friends carry similar views to hers, so if I don’t engage with those types offline, why would I allow them into my feed online? The fact that she leads the opposition is a sad indictment of the UK in 2024 not a reason to allow her culture war rhetoric on my feed.
I find the number of people saying they want to block her as a response to this genuinely baffling. You don't need to like her. She's the leader of the opposition. Even if you're absolutely convinced she's wrong about everything, why not listen to ideas you disagree with?

This weeks heartbreaking BBCNews report that schoolchildren from struggling families are pretending to eat out of empty lunchboxes to save their embarrassment at having no food is exactly why we should all join @bigissue in calling for a POVERTY ZERO LAW👇
🚨Millions of people in this country are living in poverty, destitution & using food banks. It’s barely getting a mention.

I’m joining forces with @bigissue.bsky.social in calling for a POVERTY ZERO LAW - a statutory duty for every gov’t to set POVERTY REDUCTION TARGETS

When the inevitable happens, keep your timeline clean and block.

I don’t think I can recall such a loss of good will and respect than Rudy Giuliani. He literally had the respect of the world after 9/11 as NY Mayor. Now all I think of when I hear his name is him stood in a car park on an industrial estate in the pissing down with hair dye running down his face.
