To be ignored. Not to do so is to be complicit in the corrupt dealings of govt and tech/media companies that explains its existence
Walking back from a mildly terrifying Institute for Govt panel on Trump & WW3-or-not, to find a massive billboard at Piccadilly Circus promoting the Melania documentary/puff piece, was a slightly out of body experience. Who on earth wants to see this?

Macron’s allies say it plainly: Brexit is why Starmer is weak with Trump.
Inside the EU, you have leverage, a market of 460m and a trade bazooka.
Outside it, you urge calm while others decide.
Brexit left Britain weak and Trump knows it.

Elon Musk has managed to make X the preferred social network for racists, harassers, conspiracy theorists and now child abusers.
But more than that, he’s made politicians nervous to step in even on issues as clear-cut with the public as these.

Elon Musk’s green light for paedophilia
First Musk embraced the global hard right and now, by failing to limit images of child sexual abuse on X, he has added child abusers to his list of fellow travellers

The fact that a man like Farage who praised Putin, made himself Mr Brexit, and campaigned for Trump is considered anything other than a crank is a fairly damning indictment of the political climate in Britain.
