Elon Musk, owner of X, has called the editor of the Economist "a traitor to the West, plain and simple" after her recent interview with him. He now argues that "anyone who opposes remigration is a traitor" Musk has been socialising violence since Aug25: "fight or die, that's what it comes down to"

"Rejoin is the settled preference of a majority of Britons, 56% to 35% at the most recent count – and besides, politics moves twice as fast now. If that calculation is right, and it will take 20 years to overturn the verdict of 2016, we should not lose heart – after all, we’re halfway there." 🤞

Farage is obviously trying to stoke up race riots and exploiting a man’s murder to achieve that. Henry Nowak’s dad said outside court that he does not “want the murder used to create further hatred, division or tension. This is not about racism this is a case about murder." Farage doesn’t care.
