BREITBART -- Elon Musk, whose occasional pronouncements on British politics have a proven track record of moving the dial on the domestic conversation, talked “civil war” in response to the violent slaying of a man out walking his dog in London, allegedly by an Afghan migrant.
A civil war in the United Kingdom “already began quietly several years ago”, but “only the other side was fighting”, Elon Musk said on Wednesday, having earlier proclaimed “Civil war in Britain is inevitable.”
Along with a metaphor comparing native Britons to the peaceful Hobbits of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, the strident remarks came in response to the alleged murder of a local man in West London on Monday. A 22-year-old Afghan migrant male was arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder over the triple stabbing. It was later reported that the individual was illegally smuggled into the country.
Footage of the frenzied attack, in which the dogwalker was thrown to the ground and repeatedly stabbed, quickly spread on social media. But after London police made implied threats against those sharing the footage online, many instances were deleted, apparently prompting Mr Musk to post it himself on Wednesday morning.
