a standing army of 6,000 police officers was preparing for a new wave of violence at 39 demonstrations planned around the UK.
There was fury that Mr Musk used far-right messages and images to attack Sir Keir personally as he appeared to fan the flames of discontent - on Tuesday as he also claimed that his site X is “the UK’s biggest source of news” at a time when his own messages appeared to repeat fake claims.
Most damaging was his tweet with the hashtag #twotierkeir – a far-right claim which has been used to justify the riots - allegation is police are afraid of being branded racist so will not tackle violent Muslim demonstrators, including those making antisemitic chants. Ironically, the “two-tier” claim from Mr Musk came just as a lawyer for a Muslim man who was kicked in the head at Manchester airport alleged the police were racist.
Musk also posted an image of the lead character from the adult cartoon Family Guy in an electric chair with the message: “In 2030 for making a Facebook comment that the UK government didn’t like.”
least 19 counterprotests are planned to defend immigration services being targeted on the list, which was widely shared in far-right groups on Telegram.
