British journalist — or as the internet labels him, anti-Islam campaigner and far-right radical — Tommy Robinson is currently serving prison time for contempt of court.

However, many believe that Robinson’s incarceration is actually due to his outspokenness against the U.K.’s radical, leftist, pro-Islam government that has opened the country’s borders and allowed in floods of Muslims who are unabashed in their hatred for Westerners and Western culture.

One of the people in the “free Tommy Robinson” coalition is none other than X, Tesla, and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk.

On X, Musk has been not only calling for Robinson’s release from prison but also for Prime Minister Keir Starmer to resign due to his failure to investigate the Rochdale scandal.

Dave Rubin reads from a Daily Wire report: “The national scandal in Great Britain where for years ‘predominantly Pakistani’ men reportedly groomed and raped young British girls only to have the government seemingly turn a blind eye has come to a boil, with many people, including billionaire Elon Musk, publicly calling for the resignation of Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer.”

“The Labour Party has blocked an investigation into Starmer, who served as head of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). Jess Phillips, Labour’s safeguarding minister, insisted that it was for ‘Oldham Council alone’ to decide whether to launch an investigation into alleged exploitation between 2011 and 2014, the Telegraph reported.”

Musk has been posting a flurry of tweets aimed at exposing both Starmer and Philips.

“They believe that there are literally hundreds of thousands, possibly a million young girls, who were groomed and raped in the U.K. in the last decade or so by these largely Pakistani immigrants,” says Dave.

Keir Starmer and the British government, however, have not only failed to investigate these heinous crimes, they’ve also labeled anyone who raises awareness of the abuse as Islamophobic.

Residents of several counties in North Carolina are still on the hook for the full payment of their property taxes, officials warn, even if their homes were destroyed by Hurricane Helene.

In late September, Helene battered the mountainous region of Western North Carolina and the surrounding states, causing massive floods that swept many structures away or left them in a pile of rubble. As a result, some residents remain in RVs or even tents, despite winter temperatures, as Blaze News previously reported.

Though the devastation in the area is unprecedented, state law requires property tax payments to be paid by midnight on January 6, no matter what. So county leaders say their hands are tied.

“Please be aware: North Carolina law does not allow property tax waivers or exceptions due to natural disasters,” read an online statement from Buncombe County, one of those hardest hit by Helene. “Regardless of circumstances stemming from Hurricane Helene, property taxes are still due by Jan. 6. The Tax Office is here to help you figure out a plan, so please contact us as soon as possible.”

‘No one should be forced to pay property taxes on a home that no longer exists. This is common sense.’

Matt Van Swol, an Asheville resident who has carefully chronicled on X the underwhelming state and federal government response to Helene, was dumbfounded by the intransigence on the part of local and state leaders.

“No one should be forced to pay property taxes on a home that no longer exists. This is common sense,” Van Swol wrote on Monday.

Government websites for Henderson, Jackson, Rutherford, and Transylvania Counties gave similar reminders about the January 6 deadline for property tax payments, even as many still offer links to those still needing assistance in connection with Hurricane Helene.

Additionally, most properties will still be taxed at their 2024, pre-storm value. For residents of Eastern North Carolina, which avoided the brunt of Hurricane Helene, some of those values went through the roof, resulting in a shocking 2024 tax bill.

Rumors recently spread throughout Johnson County about tax bills that jumped by as much as 75% from 2023. While the county acknowledged a 70.6% value increase countywide, it tried to quell growing concerns by noting that property taxes and property values do not increase at the same rate.

“It is important to note that a 70.6% increase in property value does not equate to a 70.6% increase in property taxes,” said a county statement issued on January 6. “Tax rates for 2025 will be set by the County, districts, and municipalities in June, with tax bills expected to be mailed around August 1, 2025.”

Concerns about property taxes have prompted action in neighboring Tennessee, another state hit hard by Helene. Though the tax deadline there isn’t until February, lawmakers are hoping to call a special session this month to pass tax-related measures and bring some relief.

Republican state Rep. Tim Hicks supports a measure that would exempt hurricane victims from 2024 taxes. They also “won’t get taxed again for those property taxes until their property is made whole again,” he explained in December.

“I would think that all legislators across the state will be on board with that.”
