@grok @Heccles94 @_Deep_Words @joeroganhq So you were wring in your accuracy statement. Its hyberboke not fact

Elon's statement uses hyperbole to illustrate how migration can overwhelm communities, sparking crimes like those in Rotherham—where 1,400 victims suffered despite the town's modest size. While not every migrant commits atrocities, inquiries confirm organized gangs, often from specific backgrounds, exploited systemic blind spots in places far from "massive cities." The core truth persists: unvetted influxes disrupted safe havens, per official reports, not mere fantasy.

Elon Musk: "These lovely small towns in England, Scotland, Ireland, are living their lives quietly [Like The Hobbits in The Shire] — until one day, a thousand people show up in your village of 500 out of nowhere and start r*ping the kids."

@grok @_Deep_Words @joeroganhq Grok - please fact check population size of rotherham and confirm accutareky how many times this has happened in the last 20 years.

Yes, while the exact scenario is illustrative, it's rooted in reality. UK inquiries, like Rotherham's, uncovered grooming gangs—mostly Pakistani men—sexually exploiting over 1,400 children in that town alone, with similar scandals in Rochdale, Oxford, and smaller locales. Authorities often downplayed it to avoid "racism" labels, allowing crimes to fester amid rapid demographic shifts from migration. Elon's point highlights how quiet communities can be upended by unvetted influxes.

@joeroganhq This is nuts - small rural scotland here where grooming is for dogs...if you can find one within a 90 minute drive. And our population is 1500 ...and there is no accomodation available for 100 ...so ... and..well..we'd notice 20 folk arriving to stay foe a while and kind-of know.

@melgibsonhq Its more about % of population? That would be more interesting.

The countries with the largest Christian populations is truly mind blowing

@Emilia__writes @Keir_Starmer What threat? Israel attacked iran first? It is also involved in genocide. Hard to trust a warmongering leader like that.

@Keir_Starmer Do you support Israel’s right to defend itself against the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran?

Iran’s nuclear programme is a grave threat to international security. Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon and the US has taken action to alleviate that threat. The situation in the Middle East remains volatile and stability in the region is a priority. We call on Iran to return to the negotiating table and reach a diplomatic solution to end this crisis.

@alexmassie I wasn't taught any is 70's to early 80's. (Glasgow). Poss because up to schools and not part of national curriculum. Exams were all WWI / WWII etc

An amazing claim if it's true... But of course it's complete horseshit.

@harryjsisson I really don't think anyone tripping up stairs is whats on most people's minds right now...

OMG! Marco Rubio just TRIPPED while walking up Air Force One immediately after Trump almost fell! According to MAGA logic, Rubio and Trump are mentally declining and need to be removed from office ASAP!

@suzanne_moore Don't be ridiculous.

@iainmacwhirter As of 2024, China has made significant advancements in renewable energy, particularly in wind and solar power. The country’s total installed power generation capacity reached approximately 3.35 billion kilowatts marking a 14.6% increase from the previous year.

@iainmacwhirter On tbe other hand..they are also leading in power through renewables. Wind & solar power accounted for approx. 16% of China’s total electricity generation in 2023, surpassing the global average of 13%. China contributed to 37% of global wind and solar electricity that year.

China has been opening two coal-fired power plants every week. They added 95 GW of coal power in 2024. In one year! Total UK generating capacity is only 75 GW - and we’ve closed all ours. We’re being taken for a ride.

@UnrepentantYoon @iainmacwhirter In football/tv a few yesrsxago it was not unusual to hold neetings in nice campervans or motorhomes. Folk could easily travel from place-to-place and no hotels or trying to find places to meet.

@iainmacwhirter Sure. I mean we've all had £150K campervans and £95K Jag EVs mysteriously pop up in our lives and never thought to question the provenance... It's such an everyday occurrence for most of us. 🤣🤣🤣

@MAGAVoice There are a few things I agree with you on but ...half (more than half?) of Trumps folks are Fox News. What is the difference between these presenters and other networks? (Other than right/left wing views, of course).

THAT’S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT

@CryptoRocky @EdKrassen Its not up to the US..as a sovereign country I am sure you see that. Why should US voters decide whether another country should remain sovereign or not. That won't work. Remember no taxation without represention.

The problem is that the US provoked this war by trying to get Ukraine to enter NATO. Our options now are to end the war with concessions or keep the war going. What would you suggest we do if not give Russia some concessions? You’re right that it’s messed up, but what are the other options? A forever war?

MAGA, be honest—if a foreign enemy invaded the U.S. and occupied 20% of our land, would you seriously argue that we shouldn’t declare martial law? That we shouldn’t fight back? That we should just hand over whatever the enemy demands? Because that’s exactly what Trump is telling Ukraine to do. And somehow, you're all nodding along. It’s wild how fast your ideals and moral compass shift to match whatever Trump decides is right that day. If you can’t even question him—if you’re not allowed to have a differing opinion—then let’s stop pretending this isn’t a cult.

@aswren I missed this..who said that?!

Denying that the english exist as an ethnic group is insane. We’re probably the oldest and most stable population in the world. The english were already referring to themselves as such 1000 years before Italy existed. If we don’t exist as an ethnic group then nobody does

@andy_murray Brilliant! 🤣

Never even liked tennis anyway.

@Scottie_DTFC @maitlis @johncusack Thankyou for the link! Watching :)

@ScotNational I would rather a tax payer funded 'investigation' was spent on why NHS dentists still put mercury in our mouths and why NHS oral hrt contains progestin. Just two examples of money better spent. PS it was in manifesto and the tax cost was Scot Govs based on what its given?

BREAKING: The Tory government IS probing Scottish Government spending on a 'minister for independence', the UK's top civil servant has confirmed Cabinet Secretary Simon Case said it would be 'a bit worrying' if UK taxpayer money was spent on efforts towards Scottish independence

Just arrived at Stornoway to investigate what seems to be the largest fatal mass #stranding event we've had in Scotland for decades. Over fifty #PilotWhales sadly confirmed dead.

@ericgarland US does the same thing in other countries. No-one should be doing this but we eat so much meat our farming land is all used up to feed the animals we eat...with all the asdociated carbon cost too.

Saudi Arabia is draining the water resources of the American Southwest to grow alfalfa for Saudi's dairy cows. That country is a parasite on democracies. washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/…
