Some goal, that.

Can’t really argue with any of that mate!

I wonder if the same applies to Trump. There will be protocols in place for stuff like this because it could operate as a sleight of hand or distraction so he’ll have been told to stay away from anyone in circumstances like that, but it doesn’t make the way he did it any less weird by turning...

I think it’s correct to say that where the requisite intent is proven it’s currently criminal behaviour as it’s difficult to imagine a jury finding such output to be anything other than grossly offensive, so presumably you think the 1988 Act should be repealed or amended, which is fair enough...

I think so, yes. Musk could be held responsible for wider matters, I guess, matters of corporate policy, or a failure to act after the event, but on a platform such as X individual posts have got to be down to the person who posted it, at least as the law stands as I understand it. I think...

They would have had to find it more than pretty offensive!
