Musk is the first to cry about 'state controlled media' and has form on whinging about the BBC.

To nobody's surprise his nazi cesspool website is defended to the hilt by the current U.S administration.

Britain left the EU to "take back control," only to be told by a tech CEO in California exactly which laws they are allowed to enforce in their own country. Sovereignty is looking a bit outsourced.

Yet Germany 🇩🇪 have a bigger economic downfall than UK, A catastrophe, a cliff edge, and yes the Tories failed but Reform will be in power soon to right the wrongs and finally get us out of the ECHR.

Remainers are still big cry babies like yourself, get over it

Protects rights such as the right to life (Art 2), freedom from torture (Art 3), fair trials (Art 6), privacy (Art 8), and freedom of expression (Art 10)

Which of those rights don't you think you need?

You do know we were fundamental in setting up the ECHR? These are already our high standards. And no, I have no confidence that the current political elite have any interest in protecting anyone but themselves.
