  1. He just has to have an opinion. On literally anything. No matter how unrelated to him or his entire life.

    And it’s almost always shit.

  2. Why doesn’t Elon Musk shove a massive fucking plank with nails in it squarely up his own twatty wanker arsehole and swivel on it?

  3. Translation services cost this country millions. Basic English literacy and spoken language should be a pre-requisite for using public services.

  4. Why should we care what Elon the fuckwit opinion is in the UK?

  5. Yeah, this is crap. Signs should be in English first, and any regional languages considered native to these islands such as Gaelic or Welsh.

  7. Wait until he hears the announcements on Chiltern trains that serve Bicester Village.

  8. The 6% wagging the dog – but they are the elephant in the room.

  9. Is the sign also in English? Yes it is. Are they taking away the English sign? No they’re not.

    Then why should I give a fuck?

    Am I supposed to be up in arms at Chinese signage in Chinatown as well, or is it just this particular language we don’t like?

  10. Musk being White South African talking about sub cultures. The irony. But, that’s different, I’m sure!

  11. Whatever one thinks of the the signage what has it got to do with meddler Musk ? He’s only wading in to stir up trouble.

  12. It is utterly mental. English should be the only spoken language when it comes to education, signs, etc.

    If you are incapable of speaking English, then out you go.

  13. Obviously, he hasn’t been to any other country where signs are in the native language and English.

  14. Whilst I agree somewhat with the sentiment I couldn’t give a flying fuck if Elon Musk backs the stance. Why does that matter? It doesn’t validate the position at all, he is not a citizen of the UK and moreover he’s an absolute prick.

  15. No lie, I was taken back going to Whitechapel for the first time not long ago seeing signs I could not read in English

  16. WTF has it got to do with Elon Musk, and why does anyone care?

  17. I have to say, if people want to live in a country, and expect to benefit from that countries resources, they should learn the language.

    If you want to retire to Spain, learn friggin Spanish

    If you want to live in Britain, please learn English, make some effort to show respect to the host country and integrate.

    If you have no interest to integrate, learn the language and help build a better country, I have to ask, why are you here?

    Just wait now to be called racist because I think people should learn the language of the host country, and those same people will wonder why reasonable people find shelter with far right nut jobs, because they don’t shame them for having some respect for themselves and their country.

    But the USA should be a wake up call that you cannot keep dismissing reasonable complaints as racist/bigoted until the Far Right get’s the necessary amount of votes to destroy democracy.

  18. Chinatown has signs in both English and Chinese and I don’t hear anyone complaining about that…

  20. Apparently 500k Bengal people in UK and signs for them 3m Welsh and no Welsh Signs in London.
    This takes the piss

  21. American here. Family in the UK. This doesn’t impact you at all. Don’t fucking fall for it. They are jerking you off with one hand and stabbing you in the back with the other.

    Edit: As a population, we fucking fell for it.

  22. If I ever found Elon Musk agreeing with me on something, I would reconsider my life to date.

  23. Surely having all signs in English encourages those here to learn and speak English? Mass immigration means people can live parallel lives and don’t necessarily need to integrate. Now we’re apparently making that even easier.

  24. What do you mean “build bridges with sub-cultures” the country doesn’t owe sub cultures bridges, the sub-cultures should be integrating sufficiently with the general population so that they don’t need these signs..
