As Roy Jenkins said in the 90s, "The problem with voters in Britain is that they want US levels of taxation and European standards of public services.”

58% of voters want public spending maintained or increased.
67% want taxes to stay at their current level or be cut.
In reality, it’s a binary choice. Taxes go up, or spending is cut. That’s it.

Musk is yet another unhinged far right tech bro arsehole who is apparently obsessed with the works of Tolkien.
Tickle Me Elon probably thinks The Lord of the Rings is the history of Europe.
Tolkien would have hated Musk and every other Silicon Valley Nazgûl wraith.
