Downing Street has hit out at the Space X owner Elon Musk accusing him of spreading “dangerous and inflammatory” language at the Tommy Robinson Unite the Kingdom rally over the weekend.
Downing Street is saying that the tech billionaire threatened “violence and intimidation” as Musk told demonstrators in London to “fight back” or “die.”
The owner of X made a guest appearance at the rally and he said that an urgent change is needed with the government and Musk told demonstrators “violence is coming.”
The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said, “The UK is a fair, tolerant and decent country.
“The last thing the British people want is this sort of dangerous and inflammatory language.”

Downing Street claims the language used threatened “violence and intimidation on our streets,” the spokesman added, “I don’t think the British public will have any truck with that kind of language.”
Around 200,000 people attended the Tommy Robinson rally which by in large peaceful compared to the Notting Hill Carnival.
Some 26 cops were injured, four seriously hurt and just 24 people were arrested.
The Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey wrote to the Prime Minister, the Reform UK leader Nigel Farage and the Tory leader Kemi Badenoch asking them to condemn Musk’s “dangerous” comments.
Farage said, “If the fight that Musk was talking about was about standing up for our rights and free speech, if it was about fighting in elections to overcome the established parties, then that absolutely is the fight that we’re in.”
Sr Keir Starmer has been called a “hypocrite” after he condemned the “violence” at the Unite Kingdom rally after police were assaulted.
Polish MEP Dominik Tarczyński said on GB News that Brits should “demand what is needed” and not allow someone like Starmer “put you in a box of racist or fascist.”
Tarczyński blasted, “At Notting Hill Carnival there were 528 arrests, weapons, 46, sexual offences 18.
“And now at Unite the Kingdom, arrests, 25, weapons zero, sexual offences zero. I didn’t see Prime Minister condemning these kind of actions, why?
Starmer wrote on social media, “People have a right to peacefully protest. It’s our core of our country’s values, but we will not stand for assaults on police officers doing their job, or for people feeling intimidated on our streets because of the colour of their skin or background.
“Britain is a nation proudly built on tolerance, diversity and respect. Our flag represents our diverse country and we will never surrender it to those that use it as a symbol of violence, fear and division.”
Tarczyński told GB News, “We know that this narrative about aggressive language, violence is a way to stop us demanding Europe to be Europe. They want to put us in a box of violence, racism, fascism.
“I’ve been called a racist, I’ve been called an Islamophobe, I’ve been called a communist, I’ve been called a Russian asset, I’ve been told I’m paid by Mossad, I’ve been called all these names.”
Tarczyński told “British patriots” do “not let hypocrites stop you from your actions.”
