Elon Musk’s Amplification of Misinformation Regarding Gordon Brown and Grooming Gangs
Elon Musk has come under scrutiny for spreading misinformation online about former Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown in relation to supposed police guidelines on child grooming. A BBC Verify investigation debunked these claims, revealing that there is no evidence of any Home Office memo suggesting that police should not intervene in grooming cases. Mr. Brown and the Home Office have both denied any truth to these allegations, which stem from a misinterpreted remark made by former prosecutor Nazir Afzal in 2018.
