Prof Tim, The news is full of coverage about Southport (my home town ). What has shocked me the most has been the verbal rubbish from Farage telling us ' I told told you so'. I feel let down by Starmer's government but surely, even this buffoon, Farage, can understand why the Prime Minister has kept quiet over the matter. I shall not allow myself to use the profanities I would like to. What is going on? Trump, this idiot etc. etc.
Social media was already a toxic place but to have fact checking and making it unfiltered will only make this worse. How can anyone support such freedom? It's jist asking for trouble. Stay safe 🙏
Fact checking or not, social media has ushered in an environment where commonly accepted facts are no longer so unless they align with the target audience’s agenda, if they don’t then they are fake. Great world we live in

That is a fine ambition. But how do you intend to force private companies in foreign countries to do this? Especially when they are rich enough to shape legislation.
Far left manifestos tend to extoll the virtues of people all pulling together, uniting to get a fair deal for all and equal rights, so I leave you to draw your own conclusions.
@ Far Left and Far Right manifestos have the same template: and us (the we) and the "them". For Hitler it was the Jews. For Marx it was the middle classes, not just the royalty and the rich. Both groups sought to set a mob upon a perceived, small, enemy.
Conflating Elon Musk's gesture with the completely unrelated criminal act you describe is disingenuous in the extreme. If you set aside still photos which are easily misrepresented, and instead watch EM's speech complete with context, you will see that his gesture was one of throwing love from his heart out into the assembled audience.

The question I always ask myself is "would Corbyn get away with it?" Not that Jeremy Corbyn would ever dream of doing such a thing but would the people making excuses for Musk be so keen to defend the same behaviour from Corbyn?
@rinkydinkpanther3367 Corbyn is a highly-experienced, streetwise and long-in-the-tooth politician; Musk is a business leader and genius scientist with a very awkward (autistic?) personal manner. Musk will need to learn that in the cauldron of frontline politics, any chance to misrepresent his words or deeds will be seized upon by adversaries. Corbyn was wise to all that long ago.
Musk was not using such a salute, this is just more lefty propaganda. As a academic you should be objective and atleast try not to be biased in your narrative, but your latest posts are just full of hysterical tripe, please try to remain more balanced. I listen to your extremist lefty views not because I believe in what you say but I wish to see some balance in the sources I use. You have clearly lost objectivity and balance to your posts!
Bollocks! Obviously you’re an Elon fanboy but anyone with eyes can see it was a sieg heil, twice! Stop drinking the koolaid fella. He’s also backed the neonazi AFD party in Germany too, and you still think he didn’t do a Nazi salute? 😂
@@harryholt666 There was some smug looks to a lefty Democratic party that took over 4 years ago, but now it will be refreashing to see a few court cases taking the corrupt Democrats to court for their corruption in office.

Musks' salute would earn him up to 3 years in prison in Germany and he can do this with impunity in the US, no wonder others feel encouraged.
It is not illegal in the UK.

Freedom of Speech. Admittedly inane gesticulate, but others will likely have words with Musk who should know better.
