His current ramblings on Twitter about the ADL, who are accusing him of becoming lapse on anti-Semitism, which they say has worsened since he took over. Conflicting opinions on whether it has got worse is not the issue in itself for me. The issue is that Musk has responded by saying that the ADL are the real causes of anti-Semitism. So, Jews are essentially to blame for hate towards them. Alongside this, he is going round liking tweets by neo-Nazis. It’s similar to what happened in Labour, with no critical evaluation of the position taken, and they end up palling round with the worst because of their suredness that they don’t have an issue. It is of little surprise that the worst of the left wing anti-Semites have come out batting for Musk:
A more charitable interpretation by me is that Musk isn’t necessarily anti-Semitic, but is blind to it and doesn’t care. Which isn’t good either and wasn’t good enough for Corbyn.

Pleased to see the Chomsky episode is up. I am pleased they are covering more lefty gurus.

Aye. I would like to hear Peter Kay’s take on council pop.

I will just say that I maybe read too much into it as arrogance. I still disagree with the comments and how it was worded, and think it’s too dismissive of other views, but I should maybe learn to keep my opinionated gob shut sometimes. :-) I realise I can be blunt myself sometimes.

Hardly touched a nerve. That’s just more of your arrogance, in my opinion. However, I am pleased to know the rest of us idiots cannot possibly disagree, because to do so means we cannot know as much as your esteemed self.
As for the rest, I was just stating my opinion. Which seems to offend you and going ‘blimey’ like the ‘balance’ you love to put and how disagreeing with you must make me some irrationa; ‘orange man bad’ hysteriuc. Like I say, arrogance and not very balanced, in my opinion, from yourself.

Aye, for the club. Not for the owner and his own problems. I support Scunthorpe Utd FC, not David Hilton FC. He has the money to fight his own battles.
Yes he does which is why he quite rightly thanked the supporters who set it up for the sentiment but asked them to remove it!
Which is why I said he rightfully nipped it in the bud.

I can’t be bothered getting into a debate on this forum, but I think there’s a strong element of Trump supporters who act in a highly cultish manner. Rigged elections, Qanon etc. If any Republican leader now criticises Trump, their popularity will plummet and their integrity will be questioned and accused of being deep state elitists.
I would say the analogy fits, as it would with Corbynites, Scottish nats, FBPE supporters, Johnsonites etc. Of course some who support these are not so hardline, but that doesn’t take away the cultish element of their fanbase.
