Farage, the PM we need?

He thinks people who criticise him should be prosecuted

"In July, tech billionaire Elon Musk said he hoped some states would consider criminal prosecutions of people participating in what he called an advertiser “boycott” of platforms like his social media app, X.

In October, Musk turned his attention to a former State Department official, Victoria Nuland, saying she should be “prosecuted” after she went on television and criticized him as a tool of the Kremlin."

Elon Musk worries free speech advocates with calls to prosecute researchers and critics

First Amendment advocates are concerned that Musk could use his sway as a Trump adviser to retaliate against a long list of enemies.

He doesn't like free speech that he doesn't agree with

Both narzi germany and stallinist russia had laws which made it a crime to do or say as anything which, in the opinion of the state, harmed the state. We’re not that far off if musky’s laws come on to force.

What musk wants in return is an end of the march to authoritarianism and halting and reversing the destruction of free speech, that's all.

Do you really believe that.

I thought all the political parties accepted donations?

They do, but huge donations by foreigners tends to cause raised eyebrows among the more sceptical in the population.
Used to be MPs were privately funded, it meant poor people couldn't afford to stand for election unless funded by a rich patron, that led to massive corruption, MPs these days are paid by the people through their taxes, maybe it's time the same should apply to Political parties.
