Liberate The People

Late to his own resignation as only a nepo baby could be, Justin Trudeau always said that he was the anti-populist. In the end, the populus agreed. His fate was sealed by the certification of the election of Donald Trump. If liberals truly believed that Trump's second inauguration would mark the end of democracy and the advent of Fascism, then they would recognise it as the reason why the Second Amendment existed, and they would take up arms to save their Republic. But instead, it has already taken down their poster boy on their own continent, ostensibly His Majesty's Prime Minister. Oh, for own dear King's cousin, Frederik X of Denmark, who has gone so far as to remove the three crowns of the Kalmar Union from his coat of arms in order to give greater prominence to the polar bear of Greenland.

Canadian is one of Elon Musk's three nationalities, so he can at least claim some right to a say in who should be the Prime Minister of Canada. But he has no such right in Britain, where it is broadly the equivalent of Trudeau's party that is standing up for national sovereignty. The Liberal Democrats are opportunists, but Ed Davey could be as opportunistic as he pleased if that caused him to decry the calls of an extremely well-resourced and high-profile member of an incoming foreign government for our own to be overthrown by insurrection or invasion. The putative invader already maintains an enormous, but very rarely mentioned, military presence on our soil.

British politicians' ties to Musk are as objectionable as Tulip Siddiq's to Sheikh Hasina. You cannot chose your relatives, but you can chose from whom you accepted the gift of a house, and you can choose to keep your political and family lives distinct. The Awami League has no connection to the British Labour Party. Yet Siddiq was part of its official delegation to the United Nations in 2011, as a member of its UK and EU Lobbying Unit. Labour Rightists normally go berserk at the suggestion of overseas ties to anything other than strictly defined "sister parties", even ones, such as PASOK or the Irish Labour Party, that were practically defunct. But whatever Musk or his father may think, the United Kingdom is not an ethnostate for WASP descendants everywhere but not for anyone else. Condemn both Musk's interference and Sheikh's (that is her family name). Or have no credibility on either.
