That's a fine thing coming from David Cameron. Farage sorted Tories yrs ago by driving #Brexit agenda, hence #Cameron's referendum & the demise of the party as a 'broad church'. What's GB seen since but the constant fall-out fm that disaster? At least my memory's not so short.

Is anyone going to take on the job of #factchecking Elon Musk? His opinions may now be rather on the unhinged side, but it's rather more important that he understands he has a responsibility not to spread false/defamatory information, as there are, justifiably, laws against that.

Found that article interesting for studying the historical role of the 'agent provocateur'. Have #factchecked Musk a bit when I had time & found false info. The riots had their root in a lie, but still went ahead after it had been disproven - a strange aspect of human behaviour.

I'd like to add this 'freedom of speech' thing isn't just one way. I used to work for a US bank in London & satirising 'hanging chads' during the 2000 election was defo frowned upon. Their democracy as a source of fun - no way! theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Time to start posting about dangers to free speech in the US now, Elon Musk? You were so keen to do it re. the UK: must be even more relevant domestically. theguardian.com/us-news/articl…

Most of the people in the UK disagree with Elon Musk & support the UK govt. Will we now have an attack from him on the rights of British people to freely speak their views, as they don't tally with his? What they're saying, of course, is that with freedom comes responsibility.

A message for Elon Musk & co. after they complained that the current UK govt. were like the monarchists at the time of the War of Independence...think about what YOUR guy's advocating! youtube.com/shorts/LrBI8NA…

The Indigenous Maasai in Tanzania have been forcibly displaced by the government - now they are being erased from voter rolls. Help stop it here: secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/ma…

Tommy Robinson? Stephen Lennon? Paul Harris? Confusion reigns over the far-right agitator's business empire, as he has registered companies under two different names. But has he broken the law? Read on Good Law Project: goodlaw.social/pm49

If he wins, then who will have committed the 'skulduggery' as far as he's concerned? He'll have no need to prosecute! If he's announced the loser, how's he going to get into office to do all this stuff? It'll have to be proven in the courts like last time. Except it wasn't.
