Laurence Fox. The twat.

[DaveCinzano]

Do they say “Thanks, Pilot” when they get off?

‘Cheers, Pie’

 

[emanymton]

Also, pretty sure JSO and XR members have done time, no?

They are not normally dumb enough to tweet about stuff before they do it, so tend not to be arrested on their own homes.

Unless the police do a sweep on spurious grounds before a big event.

The great joy in all of this is that he’s landed in a lake of shit that’s entirely of his own creation, yet he continues to swim downwards.

Self-cancellation.

Very disappointed to see that my hero Phil Collins is on iPlayer basically copying Laurence Fox’s style presumably in an act of solidarity!?

PC is your hero?

Fox wouldn't approve

You’re not a Peter Gabriel guy are you?

Through a Ulez camera, I spy the vandal who chopped down Laurence Fox’s career. It looks a lot like him | Marina Hyde

Following Lozza’s arrest for anti-camera vigilantism, we need to ask: doesn’t anyone recognise a martyr when they see one, asks Marina Hyde

Back to the 'front'

He really thinks he's some kind of war hero, doesn't he? Deluded prick.

“These days you can’t even encourage people to do a crime, while telling everyone you’re going to do a crime, and explaining how you’ll film yourself doing that crime, without the police turning up on your doorstep”

Failed husband, actor, musician and politician, Laurence Fox, has expressed his dismay after facing the legal consequences of publicly encouraging criminals, announcing his intention to commit a cr…

I'm really quite taken with this Jan on Twitter person, I like the cut of their jib

I would suggest that his posts are bait and aiming for a suitable reaction. Just ignore and let him fade away...

Nah I for one am enjoying the responses.

But where's the fun in that?

I reckon Lurdan made a good point on that here.

I posted the screenshot/link to the one of him in blackface. I chose not to do so for the one with the children. People will obviously make their own decisions about this kind of thing.

Personally I think "ignore him and he'll go away" "don't give him publicity" arguments are utterly crazy.

Yes he's a fucking joke - although as this last couple of days have reinforced not a funny one. But he is already out there as one of the 'vanilla' 'alt-lite' faces of a very diverse, very active and growing right wing/populist/conspiraloon counterculture. (More accurately a large collection of countercultures, some very hostile to one another, but overall having a multiplier effect on one another).

I recently turned 70 and the only time I recall seeing anything even vaguely comparable was in the late sixties and early seventies. Today I don't see anything remotely similar on 'our' side. (If it's possible to even speak of an 'us' or an 'ours').

Yes they are a minority. So were the counterculture(s) in the late sixties/early seventies. But, both then and now, very loud minorities able to punch well above their weight. In complete contrast to 'us' today.

But then some of you should know this already. Sections of Gen-X seem to have spent their entire fucking lives whining about the consequences of their parents generation.

Fox isn't 'like' Milo Yiannopoulos but he is playing a not dissimilar role in this country. So if people want to denounce him, mock him, get angry with him or even 'get even' with him then go for it I say.

And if people have better things to do and don't want to hear about him here's a 'modest proposal': don't click on a thread about him.

He is a dickhead (Fox, not Lurdan obvs), but he's still part of something dangerous imo.

 

[two sheds]

Yeh it's like dwyer if you ignore him whole threads will fester with multiple posts of shite and anyone new to urban will look at them and think 'fuck me this is a strange place'


not that they don't anyway of course

Fox blocked me and I was never as cutting as this Jan character is.

Surely it must have crossed the minds of the pitiful band of his supporters that for a man who endlessly states he believes unrestricted freedom of speech is the most fundamental right of them all, he seems to have a lamentable lapse in core principles whenever he’s the one being talked about…

Ah. But they are "trolls" you see. That's different!

"Ever the big man, Laurence went on to explain he’d be personally tearing down cameras, declaring, “I would be happy to be arrested myself.”

Can I shock you? He was not happy."

Just seen another tweet from him where he says one rule different one for us..type thingy. This tweet clearly acknowledges HIGNFY is a light entertainment program.

Quite glad we hold different types of broadcast media to different standards or does GB News class itself as light entertainment?

Regardless, all they did there was to hold a mirror up to his behaviour. And it is telling that it's somehow OK for him to make such remarks about others, but not for others to do the same to him. Or maybe it's just that, in Fox's mind (or what passes for one), Der Laydeez shouldn't be saying such things...

He's remarkably thin-skinned, basically..
