Labour politician Wes Streeting responded, accusing Musk of being “misjudged and certainly misinformed” about the issue.

Streeting admitted that “political correctness” hindered efforts to tackle these crimes — a view once dismissed as conspiracy theory by mainstream politics. He also urged Musk to help combat online pedophiles but avoided addressing grooming gangs directly.

Public outrage has intensified over recent revelations about these gangs’ heinous acts against children. Viral posts have detailed horrific abuses documented in legal proceedings, shocking many who were unaware of the extent of these crimes until now.

NBA’S SHOCKING Return to China: Millions at Stake After Controversial Ban Lifted

06 December 2024 — The Brooklyn Nets and Phoenix Suns will play two preseason games in China. This follows the reinstatement of the NBA’s broadcast deal, worth millions. The league was banned in 2019 after a controversial tweet by Rockets executive Daryl Morey supporting Hong Kong protesters.

Chinese authorities demanded Morey be fired, but NBA Commissioner Adam Silver refused. Instead, Silver publicly criticized Morey, leading to his apology and retraction of support for the pro-democracy movement. Despite this, China suspended NBA broadcasts until now.

Morey’s tweet read: “Fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong.” His apology aimed to mend relations with Chinese fans and sponsors offended by his stance. He stressed that his views were personal and not representative of the Rockets or the NBA as a whole.

The return of NBA games to Chinese screens marks a significant financial move for both parties involved. It highlights ongoing tensions between business interests and political stances within international sports diplomacy.
