On the right wing shows on LBC the general consensus seemed to be Musk's celebration of Trump's victory was just a little bit of exuberant autism. I was offended.
It closes in the West End on Saturday but I've just booked to see something else tomorrow (Doh I thought it was still around next week).
Which brings me to my new theory. The falling out between Trump and Farage is all down to Musk who, not for the first time, is walking back a crazy cash offer made while sedated.
He can't be very bright if so!
If you know enough about Nazis to get where the thrill comes from, you know enough to know why you shouldn't.
Silly adolescent boys have always done things like this. It's just that most don't make billions from its distribution.

Matt goes meta.
Because here we all are talking about Musk not Trump.
Might have been terrorism, might not. Very few details were ever provided, media never mention it.
But, perhaps, just perhaps. That's what his amazing plan was.
Rather than "LOLWUT SALUTE LOL!!!!".

We now know this boy was a real danger, and recognised as such by his parents, school, police and social workers, but what can be done before he actually commits a crime? Are we to lock people up for pre-crimes?
Perhaps Kemi can make hay/mischief (delete as appropriate) tomorrow at 12.00.

Just like Alsations, the name was changed to avoid negative connotations
In this case, the fact that Hans Asperger was apparently, a Nazi...
Perhaps something similar but tailored to deal with extreme mental health issues?
The victim's name was Lt. Col. Mark Teeton, stationed in Gillingham. He survived, fortunately.
The perp's name is Anthony Esan.
Something like that for nutters?
He didn't plead diminished responsibility.
Hopefully the inquiry will provide some answers.
It may well include the woeful state of both youth and adult mental health services.
Given his known behaviour, he wasn't playing with a full deck.
Job for a professional head shrinker, of course.

The Judge asks if there is any other material the defence wishes to place before the court.
Mr Reiz says he does not have a psychiatrists report but wishes to submit Rudakubana's "considerable" mental health record which existed before the events in Southport on 29 July 2024
Asperger's was a subset (a cluster) of ASD.
There are more than 200 known genetic markers for the condition. You only need a handful to be on the spectrum.
That's why it's a spectrum.
And that's why it's incredibly varied. Hence "neurodiverse".
Asperger's is just a high functioning (ie, valued in a Capitalist society) expression of one aspect.
My guess is that it was lack of resources to deal with him, once it was clear that he wasn't a Snackbarist.
Or something like that
"Asperger's syndrome was retired in 2013 with the publication of the fifth edition of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5).1
Barahona-Corrêa JB, Filipe CN. A concise history of Asperger syndrome: The short reign of a troublesome diagnosis. Front Psychol. 2016;6. doi:10.3389/fpsyg.2015.02024
One reason it was retired is that DSM authors wanted to avoid the misconception that Asperger’s was a different condition from autism. A second reason is that Hans Asperger was a Nazi and collaborated in the murder of children with disabilities under the Third Reich.2 Researchers and clinicians wanted to distance themselves from this horrible history and legacy."

It was the "friendly name for Autism" claim I was objecting to.

I saw a really good program on C4 catchup recently built around autism. It was called Patience. The main character worked in criminal records and her autism meant that she picked up patterns no one else noticed. Well worth a watch if you haven't seen it.
My eldest has an autism diagnosis although she is high functioning and it was fascinating seeing her traits shown in this way. One of the best examples is that she would plot out her conversations with people in advance in writing, something my daughter also does, and then get completely panicked the moment it went off script. It also didn't shy away from the limitations either.
Enrique Tarrio and Stewart Rhodes were two of the highest-profile Jan. 6 defendants and received some of the harshest punishments in what became the largest investigation in Justice Department history.
Rhodes, of Granbury, Texas, was serving an 18-year prison sentence, and Tarrio, of Miami, was serving a 22-year sentence after they were convicted of orchestrating plots to stop the peaceful transfer of power after Trump, a Republican, lost the 2020 election to Democrat Joe Biden.

1. New form of terrorism. Really?, a lone attack who appears to have been inspired/connected in some way by some cause? Its been the pattern of most attacks in the last 10 years sunshine, where you been? Is not new.
2. This inquiry with pre-ordained conclusions already (the system failed according to government ministers) is deflection. Blame the system and some bods at a lower level when in fact the system makes mistakes which is not the same thing as failing. The volume of stuff that things like. Prevent, security services, the police and so on process an enormous of raw data, you are not going to get it all right in your analysis or indeed your reaction to it.
3. What seems to be the case is there was, at the time of these events, a mobilisation within some elements of the state and perhaps within the media to try to deny what has actually come out as having credence. The government could have been definitive, it could have been clear that the perpetrator was UK born, it could have been clear on other elements of the case before charges were brought. You think the police didnt know they were investigating a terror link within a day or three? You think Axel wasnt communicating with others who had known links who may have encouraged him?
3. What Starmer and his government did a Canute over was that the public on the ground did have some inaccurate information but also had some very accurate information. Do you know why they had such accurate information? Because those who knew what was going on live in the broader community. Plod, social services and so on. People talk. Why therefore some within government and the media sought so put a wall up was just the height of stupidity.
This is going to leave a stink on Starmer in particular.
I am reminded of that seminal work into Juvenile delinquency: "Gee, Officer Krupke" from West Side Story:

So we infer, possibly wrongly, that the falling out with Trump was actually a falling out with Musk. It was generally assumed that Tommy Robinson was the reason, but my own suggestion here is it actually Musk resiling from his $100 million offer to Farage.
But terrible none the less.
Often Autistic people are very sensitive, so mortified when they realise they have inadvertently offended. It's almost the opposite of being rude.
Around 15% of the population is neurodiverse to the point that it interferes to some degree with their social, psychological or emotional functioning.
But my daughter thought she was being given an instruction so she went and researched it and then produced paragraphs covering the issues that they had identified. The other members of the committee decided they were rather good so they used them and gave her a credit as one of the authors!
I haben't got the evidence to say that Trump is popular in Wythenshawe, but he seems more popular than Starmer.
I had thought working class Manchester unlikely to be fertile ground for Reform, but I'm starting to wonder. Certainly Greater Manchester Labour seem much more worried about Reform than any other potential competitor, but I'd guessed that was just yer Ashton/Oldham/Rochdale belt. Perhaps not.

Albeit, I referred to “Dr Strangec***”, and the post was quickly deleted by the moderators.
I tend to think although we are not “at war”, we at a critical geopolitical juncture, and so it is time to dispense with some of the business as usual process.
Mandelson or even Miliband have been a good pick under the Biden administration, but not I think anymore.
They are a gang of nasty, shitty arseholes, who committed some serious crimes.
However, it does not - with only a few exceptions - result in a general sympathy for the AfD and other fash-flirting movements, nor an inability to avoid accidentally sieg heiling as we go about our business.
But some actual research reveals that, yes, it is a real thing.

Maybe there is a lesson here for Reeves
Do not produce an anti growth jobs budget, scare away millionaires and non doms, but get them all to invest through tax breaks and welcome them with open arms
