Description

Tech mogul Elon Musk took to X recently to claim that U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer was "complicit" in the work of grooming gangs during his time as head of the Crown Prosecution Service between 2008 and 2013. Musk called for Starmer to resign, for the U.K. Minister for Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls Jess Phillips to be jailed, and for a national inquiry to be held into historical cases of child sexual abuse. Guest hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss of the Due Dissidence podcast discuss Musk’s sudden interest in the “groomer gangs” controversy in the U.K. and whether his accusations have any merit.

And yet we still don't know who is on the Epstein List, or the Diddy List. And what, you don't think Harvey Weinstein and Jimmy Saville didn't have lists of their own we will never know about?

Distracting from elite paedophiles. Been going on for decades and the number of victims is far greater.

It is important to note that Elon musk is just being public with it. If you believe that billionaires haven't had outweighed control over governance in the past then I have a bridge to sell you (cliche intended)

The inquirys were wholy inadequate. They focused on 3 years in 1 town, when the problem has been happening in at least 50 towns over 30 years. Starmer helped cover it up.

I don’t care why Elon is now involved but the applied pressure is what it will take to get something done about it over there. A big fat public shaming and ousting with hefty prison sentences is what the UK Leadership needs.

In the inquiry they only spoke to 1 victim, 1. 5 hundred million pounds was spent and it took 7 years. Please follow Maggie Oliver and her charity. She was a Manchester police officer who investigated these gangs and tried to get prosecution's and was forced out her job. Very brave woman. It's been going on for over 40 years and still happening today. Some estimate 1 million individual rapes with over 100, 000 victims. I've no words for the awful, harrowing and at times murder of these poor children. Some were only 11 years old.

Keir Starmer was the Director of Public Prosecutions when these crimes were first mishandled. That’s why his name is still associated with them.
