Keir Starmer has entered a verbal battle with Elon Musk when the billionaire said that civil war is inevitable after violence in Britain.
The owner of X, who is now trending after being previously on Twitter, said this after coming across a video where people were directing fireworks at the police.
The prime minister’s spokesman said that there is a lack of sense for Mr. Musk’s words and noted that media sites can and should do more.
Mr. Musk then replied to a post on X from the prime minister, in which Sir Keir said he would not tolerate attacks on mosques or Muslim communities, asking, “And you should be a worried man because of attacks on *all* communities.”
Mr. Musk also shared a video of a person purportedly being arrested for offensive comments online, asking: This is quite a profound question to ask; it can either be Britain or the Soviet Union depending on the context of the story.
He also commented on a post that was badmouthing UK policing, where he agreed that the police response does seem one-sided.
Justice Minister Heidi Alexander has recently joined the numerous others against Mr. Musk, who himself has a track record of making rather provocative comments on social media and using unacceptable language as far as many people are concerned, for his taste conclusively found ‘utterly unjustified’ and, besides, ‘rather shameful.’
Disorder has now lasted almost a week after three girls were unfortunate to be shot dead in Southport. The further disorder experienced in the towns and cities across England and parts of Northern Ireland has been attributed to fake news, far-right movements, and anti-immigration activities.
