British censors at war with Elon Musk. They are looking for a “scapegoat”

Laurie Wastell, an independent writer publishing, among others, in the British "The Spectator" ponders the consequences of the left-wing war of the Keira Starmer government with platform X head Elon Musk. Starmer represents the “censor elite” in the United Kingdom, which, without dealing with the current management of the state's affairs, seeks “a scapegoat” on which 1 could blame for the failure of, for example, a policy of multiculturalism.

Since the British's vote to leave EU structures, the pro-European establishment has complained about the harm that this “break-up with liberal internationalism has allegedly caused our reputation abroad”, Wastell writes. He adds: “Today, however, erstwhile Europe turns right and Donald Trump returns to the White House, the Social Democratic Labour organization government in Britain is now the exception on the left. The approval of Prime Minister Sir Keira Starmer falls at a evidence rate, as he stubbornly pursues various unpopular left-wing crusades: he wages war on farmers, drastically raises taxes and continues a punishing eco-saving policy to name only these 3 actions. However, what truly defines the United Kingdom of Starmer, in the country and abroad, is its censorical approach to statements."

The writer recalled that after the barbaric killing of 3 young girls, which occurred this summer, widespread protests took place by a man of migrant origin in the country. People expressed discontent with the migration policy that resulted in increased crime. Prime Minister Starmer blamed social media for the riots and decided to brutally deal with people who expressed their discontent on the Internet. Grandmothers, guardians and veterans were arrested and sentenced to many years of prison sentences for statements published on the Internet.

The government had previously released thousands of dangerous criminals from overcrowded prison facilities. Today, the authorities are “taking on” conservative journalists who wrote something, for example, a year ago, as in the case of well-known conservative writer Allison Pearson. Police visited her home this period due to a tweet... A year ago.

Wastell comments: “Brexit may have caused surprise to Europe’s globalist neighbours, but present the enthusiasm for censorship of the British state is not just a bad image of the country of the large Charter of Freedom. It besides makes us heading for a collision course with the richest man in the planet and the most powerful freedom of speech fighter, Elon Musk."

Billionaire, Tesla's CEO, US President-elect Donald Trump's close side, who will be in charge of the White home administration for the Department of Government Efficiency, remains in dispute with the British Left.

There are many negative comments on the X platform on Starmer's government's actions. There are allegations that Britain has become a "police state".

Parliamentarians are trying to call Musk before the discipline and Technology Commission, accusing his platform of causing riots this summer.

During an election run in the US, due to reports that many Labour organization activists are going to America to assist in Kamala Harris's staff, Trump's squad accused the British government of interfering with the elections. And vice president-elect JD Vance has repeatedly said that due to the large Muslim population in Britain and the tendency of politicians specified as Starmer to indulge Muslim sectarianism, Britain will shortly become the world's first "Islamist" atomic power.

In September, the British government ignored Musk by refusing to invitation a billionaire to the investment summit. On the another hand, in October, it turned out that the web censorship lobby group, which is linked to Keira Starmer's chief of staff (which is part of a wider "complex of industrial censorship" against which investigations are underway in the US) had attempted to destruct Twitter for years.

Musk reprimanded the BBC station for bias and spreading lies about the alleged emergence in “hate speech” on the erstwhile Twitter since the takeover of the platform by a billionaire. Innovator giving an interview to Clayton, he reversed the script, asking what Clayton means erstwhile he says "word of hate" and who should have the power to specify it? The writer could not answer that question, and claiming that there had been a crucial increase in the "talk of hatred" under Musk, he was yet forced to admit that he had not personally seen it. “You just lied,” Musk said.

The American billionaire ignored calls to appear before the committee of the British Parliament, who wants to prosecute him for the "false and harmful content" spread on the Internet.

The authorities are in censorship. Just a fewer days ago, the Interior Minister Yvette Cooper announced that she was planning to extend the registration of "non-crime haters". Paranoia is that incidents are already recorded erstwhile a kid in a primary school calls another ‘dude’ or uses another unfavorable adjectives.

Cooper plans to extend the registration of non-crime hatred incidents, in peculiar with respect to ‘anti-Semitism’ and ‘islamophobia’. Registers may be made available to employers who will in the future employment individuals.

At the same time, the Ofcom agency liable for the broadcasting market, which has gained fresh powers in connection with the adoption of the Online safety Act (equivalent to the European Digital Services Act – DSA) last year, besides wants to prosecute Musk for the riots of this summer. These were to be caused by "disinformation" on the network. Ofcom, who employed 466 "online security" staff in July, is more than 3 times more than 123 officials employed under EU DSA regulations, is expected to accept almost a 100 more people to work by March 2025.

It will besides set up an Advisory Committee on Misinformation and Disinformation, which will advise the government on how effectively to control freedom of expression on the Internet. It is simply a circumstantial “Orwell Ministry of Truth”.

Wastell is expecting a war between Ofcom and Musk. The agency will effort to suppress any negative statements on the net about state multiculturalism to which the Starmer labour organization is so attached and "because the riots of this summertime were a painful signal that something was incorrect in the country diverse modern BritainThey request a scapegoat."

The writer adds that "For many left-wing elites..., it is comforting to imagine that the increasing discontent of society is not the consequence of their own disastrous policy, but freedom of speech on platforms specified as X. Starmer is becoming increasingly unpopular, and since X is already turning distant from the left, the government and its supporters will be blood hungry."
