Defo a kopite the arl bag
Anyone from that part of the city and from her background during that period would definitely have had men in the family who supporters Liverpool rather than Everton.

Everton would have been beyond the pale for them.
 

Insanity. It can't be real as even he isn't that stupid.

"The eventual successful project, organised by Eurotunnel, began construction in 1988 and opened in 1994. Estimated to cost £5.5 billion in 1985, it was at the time the most expensive construction project ever proposed. The cost finally amounted to £9 billion (equivalent to £22.6 billion in 2023)."

"The Channel Tunnel, is a 50.46 km (31.35-mile) undersea railway tunnel, opened in 1994"

"The shortest distance (air line) between New-York and London is 3,461.34 mi (5,570.48 km)."

Treating it seriously for a moment, it'd have to hit Ireland first, that's after any deep sea problems including undiscovered trenches/channels, the tectonic plate boundary, and the small matter of getting enough fresh air pumped down the thing to keep anyone crazy enough to risk it alive.

Maybe it's why he fancies being a trillionaire, because I'm not sure... ~ well, let's give it a whirl at scale.

50km ~ £22.5b
~5,550km = £2497.5b

That's very nearly 2.5 trillion pounds sterling. Conversion time. Todays rate makes it 3,105,624,775,000.00 us dollars. So just over 3.1 trillion $ dollars.

Need to sell a few more of those exploding batmobile trucks.

[Edit: This is a very rough estimate, the tunnel was being dug from both sides, and met under the water. Cooperative. At a rate of conversion at *111 there's a multitude of digging issues besides geological to overcome and budget for.]
 
Grooming scandal? It's a rape scandal. No need to sugar coat it all. It's not only a scandal about mass rape, torture and in some cases murder it's also a scandal about those who hid it, looked the other way and failed to do their duty of care towards some of the most vulnerable members of society.

The thing is had Musk(or anyone else) addressed it in a more reasonable way then we wouldn't have the sh**storm we are currently having. Reasonableness got the issue virtually nowhere. If Trump has taught us anything it's that bombastic language produces results.

As for Jess Phillips I have no opinion on the specific words Musk uses to describe her. I think she is stalling for political motives. That's as far as I'd personally go in describing her actions. Again, we'd have no such stalling had these victims been middle class victims from leafy suburbia.
Do you really believe president musk gives one single fook about those victims? It's all just a grift mate, sad to see you have fallen for it again
 
Surely there’s a case for libel with stuff like this?

He’s just said starmer was complicit in the worst mass crime in the history of Britain.

Surely this is a step too far?
Musk doesn’t care if he gets fined.
He’d also get to moan about being silenced by Starmer for “revealing the truth” for months in end. The Right will not care when he is found guilty, it will all be a stitch-up on made-up charges anyway.

Depends if he was or not.

Safe to say, if he starts legal proceedings - he's confident he wasn't. If he doesn't start legal proceedings it's obviously not libellous.

He did say it but it was just him trying to promote his Boring Company rather than any actual plan to do it. He knows he will never have to show whether it is true or not (spoiler: it's not true).
