Musk accused Phillips of being a “rape genocide apologist” over her stance on inquiries into Oldham grooming gangs.
Pretty sure that’s a slander case at minimum.
Problem is no one will know what those words mean so there’s really no case.
Elon hasn’t paid enough attention to see that folks already know the UK shields nonces. It’s a worthless accusation at this point.
I think we should allow russian propaganda websites as well. It’s not fair to only have american ones.
Bit native really.
