Elon Musk is doing a great job winding up Britain’s hard left by maintaining freedom of speech on X, formerly Twitter. It hasn’t escaped the notice of some of the platform’s pub bores…

Here’s tin-foil hat merchant and Byline Media supremo Peter Jukes comparing the platform to Nazi occupied Paris. Twitter is as bad as Nazi occupied Paris, of course it is Peter…

I think of Musk’s horrific version of Twitter a bit like Paris under Nazi occupation. Are you going to give up the city and community you were part of? Some of course suck up and collaborate. Others understandably flee. But some stay, and wait and work for liberation

Times Radio‘s Calum Macdonald lamented that the un-policed “town square is burning“. He may be community noted for this one…

Trust the metropolitan elitist Lewis Goodall to have a stab at the platform. Not like he’s got it wrong before…

“If Musk created X now, the way it is, would we in the media use it? No! we wouldn’t touch it a barge pole.”

Are unmediated platforms like X beyond redemption – and should we stop using it?@lewis_goodall | @jonsopel pic.twitter.com/LJZQa97TPl

Meanwhile leftie lawyer Jessica Simor, supposedly a human rights advocate, is urging Keir Starmer to literally ban Twitter in the UK with a ‘one line bill’ in Parliament:

Pass a short Bill closing Twitter down in the U.K. @Keir_Starmer? There is more than enough reason to do so. One of the richest men in the world is using his platform to cause serious harm – putting lives & communities at risk. @YvetteCooperMP @lisanandy

She has repeatedly advocated for the site to be closed down, which would bring the UK into line with authoritarian states which block the site like China, Iran and North Korea. Would the one line bill be 140 characters or less?
