Midway through but in answer to the question of why would Elon lie about his beginnings in the US (hot dogs and oranges)? Because America loves the pull oneself up by bootstrap story - rags to riches, that essentially gives any person with wealth instantaneous cred and likeability. Secondly, this life story reminds me of the Qatsi trilogy and if anyone needs an image of mining mentioned here they should view that portion of Powaqqatsi film.

I was barely into this article and I'm disgusted by what's being said about Sir Keir Starmer. I'm not a fan of his but this is, quite frankly, a load of "testicles". He's too right-leaning for a lot of Labour supporters, his first 100 days in office even hinting he is Tory-Lite, an accusation thrown at him before the General Election this summer. The riots happened, incidentally, the same month in which he was elected and lasted only two weeks, sporadically in various places. A good many rioters used it as an excuse to break into and loot stores; that's why some good ole white men are behind bars. Racism and thieving go hand in hand, don't they, fat lad and Leon?

Yes, there is racism in the UK. I've never visited a country where there wasn't (in Hungary I was harassed for being "too white" lol) but nowhere near the extent to which they're implying. Electing a racist to the White House and allowing the incel's acquisition of X (short for "xhit") was the spark of it. I've lived here for too many decades and we're not rioting in my city's streets. We never have, not even so much as a mild protest. The riots happened right at that point in time when a new government had barely got its feet under the table and following the two far-right parties' anti-immigration rhetoric prior to the election.

I notice the sperm donor never mentioned the equally dumb and blond Trump-Lite - Bozo Johnson - electing a KGB spy, Yevgeny Lebedev, to the House of Lords. Privy to our laws and regulations, even voting on them. Truth isn't their strong point, is it? Those comments are merely wishful thinking by one of the most heinous thugs on the planet. Who happens to be an illegal immigrant. Send him to Venze... Venez... Ven... ohhhh!

(God, I am so fed up of these PABs and their BS! 😫)

Is this guy even a legal citizen of the USA? Coming from South Africa? It doesn’t sound like it was his life’s goal to come to US to become a citizen. It’s more like he was getting away from South Africa. What makes us so lucky?
