Douglas Murray calls out ‘ridiculous piece’ in The Guardian on Elon Musk

Author Douglas Murray has called out “very obscure figure” Jonathan Freedland over his “ridiculous piece” in The Guardian.
Mr Freedland's piece in The Guardian blamed Elon Musk for the recent unrest in Britain.
Mr Freedland argued that the tech billionaire ‘decided to make X a safe space for racism and hate almost as soon as he bought it’.
Mr Murray joined Sky News host Rita Panahi to discuss the piece in The Guardian.
“To think that somebody like him would have the audacity to claim that the British authorities should arrest an American citizen," Mr Murray said.
“He should know that America fought quite a significant war in order that American citizens would not, in fact, be under the writ of British law. And thank goodness Elon Musk isn't.
“Thank goodness he has the guts to continue like a number of the rest of us to say, what is the truth?”

[@meisievannancy]

The irony is the Gaurdian is the enemy of the truth.

[@Rayblondie]

Quite so. Strange how those who are the real enemies of truth accuse the truthful people for being enemies of truth. Their lies are their weapons. Through lies they hope to rule our nations.

[@mjones4083]

The Guardian does not do irony: it does not understand the (should be ) simple concept of the word's meaning . ( & most on the Left seem to lack that mental capacity . )

[@BrianGreene-rn9uz]

And Jonathan Freedland the author of that article "Freedland is a supporter of projects that seek to preserve Jewish identity and heritage." I don't get people like that, a Jew but is pro Islamification. Make it make sense.
