    He's fragile the only reason he attacked the man helping the boys in Thailand is because they didn't use his little toy as part of the rescue. He showed who he was and as soon as he took over Twitter I left.

      The elite "class" in Britain has been meddling in most countries affairs and stealing their land for centuries. Britain even sending out their young "classless" lads to die in South Africa in the late 1800s in order to steal the gold and diamonds the Boers has discovered in the Free State and Transvaal Republics. Incidentally these were largely unoccupied swafts of land north of the western cape that the Brits had stolen from the Dutch. So going to shed no tears for the crocodile. In any case Musk is seeking to protect the "classless" young girls of Britain. The media lied in the 1800s like they are doing now. We applaud Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk.

    Hislop fails to understand that ‘mainstream’ media is no longer mainstream but legacy. Few young people read or watch legacy media anymore. Their days are numbered.

      Probably true, but many friends of mine, not young, swallow and regurgitate the bias that mainstream media put out there. Most don't have the thinking power, the time, or the inclination to investigate issues for themselves. It's not easy.
