Laurence Fox. The twat.

[Marty1]

kinda begs the question, what aspects of what the massive cunt said that you do support.

Where have I said I ‘support‘ him?

Go back and read my post based on a 12min video of him.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

Struck me that his management people had told him to tone it down a bit, (for commercial reasons), and despite that he still came across as a grade A cunt.

Yeah, that's definitely him (the pair of them actually) being "reasonable" with media-friendly semi-obfuscated racism. Imagine what he'd be like off-camera after a few lines.

 

[Pickman's model]

He primarily was a stage actor for two decades of his career and if you fancy cherry picking reviews via quick google till you hit a bad one, don't ignore the good ones:

He had a theatrical career for nearly two decades (and yes, theatrical actors are actors too).

The last theatrical appearance I can find was just over two years ago and this doesn’t strike me as a bad review:

The Real Thing review: Laurence Fox gives a witty performance

The clever tricks of Tom Stoppard's 1982 drama return, with Laurence Fox in the lead role

www.standard.co.uk

Neither does this:

The Patriotic Traitor review – tragedy and treason with Tom Conti and Laurence Fox

Featuring two strong central performances, this story of Philippe Pétain and Charles de Gaulle’s relationship is fascinating but covers too much ground

www.theguardian.com

If you dig around you’ll find bad reviews on most actors. You don’t sustain a career on the stage by continuously being crap.

Hopefully he won’t return to the stage any time soon though as most of the theatre community appears to condemn his comments. I don’t think many directors will want to cast him any time soon.

He will be cast into the outer darkness

I asked you what aspects of what he said you supported.
Up to you whether or not you want to answer; looks like you don't.

Lol, I don’t support him, couldn’t care less tbh, my only exposure of him is a 12min video.

I do agree with one particular remark that he made - that racism is everywhere.

 

[butchersapron]

Stop saying lol. Everyone here has sussed you you dodgy cunt. You should not be here any more.

 

[DJWrongspeed]

I appreciate Laurence for telling it how he sees it and keeping the BBC still relevant

 

[Dogsauce]

"the British people... are tired of being called racist by the people that we pay money for and support"

UK theatre, the genesis of his career, being famously free of public subsidy of course...

 

[isvicthere?]

Yes I think this is a good summary. Fox is being described as a C list actor who people hadn't heard of before he stated attacking the PC brigade.. but actually I had heard of him before, both for his acting and for the fact that he was married to Billie Piper. By contrast I hadn't heard of Meghan Markle at all until she hitched up with Harry and started spouting her political views.

The spat on Question Time was a good example of the kind of bear pit our society has become.. Fox has become a controversialist saying things for effect.. his stuff about the sikhs was well out of order , then the lady on QT planted by the BBC to stir things up , making fake claims about racism. All pretty ugly and now Question Time which used to be a proper TV debate is now more like the Jerry Springer show.

"The PC brigade"? Seriously?

 

[isvicthere?]

Is this the McCarthy witch hunt of our time?

I think we all know the answer to this DM headline type question.

 

[krtek a houby]

"The PC brigade"? Seriously?

Peter Chadwick brigade, no doubt

 

[chilango]

I generally don't give a fuck one or the other abo

"The PC brigade"? Seriously?

You can't even be racist anymore with being called a racist

 

[keybored]

Foxes are well known for talking shite.

 

[Jeff Robinson]

Equity have issued an apology to the racist, I presume under pressure from his lawyers:

Equity - Laurence Fox

Equity - the UK trade union for creative practitioners

www.equity.org.uk

 

[two sheds]

and all the members of union’s race equality committee have resigned because of it ...

Great. Its Team America. Again.

 

[Shechemite]

But less amusing

 

[ViolentPanda]

It’s genius really. You’re a jobbing actor and wannabe rockstar, one among thousands of chinless, well spoken boys with a sliver of talent in London. Your sister is famous, proper famous, your brother in law is too. And you just can’t quite get there. You’re tried for years but you just don’t have what it takes
So then you go full Milo and boom- print and social media can’t get enough of you, you’re the hero of the hour for the incels and the alt right, you’re in the radio, the left are opening threads on discussion boards, writing articles and tearing their hair out about you.
And bingo, he’s got what always eluded him.

A penis longer than 5cm?

 

[ViolentPanda]

Is this the McCarthy witch hunt of our time? Fox has made some crass comments on twitter.. this is not a crime.

Fucking liberal.

 

[ViolentPanda]

He will be cast into the outer darkness

Or Grytviken.

I see he's doubling down on racist twattery:

Yes, there´s definitely a gap in the market for the huge luvvie/gammon demographic.

A bit ago now, but Rebecca Front blocking Fox on twitter

Laurence Fox apologises to Rebecca Front after sharing 'private' messages on Twitter

Actor shared screenshots of a message exchange between the two after Front blocked him on Twitter

www.independent.co.uk

“There are many, many things we clearly disagree on and, fond as I am of you, looking at your Twitter feed I just felt uncomfortable about the company you’re keeping,” said Front.

Fox replied: “It’s ok to disagree. But it’s the right thing to do to talk first before you cancel me. Especially given how racist the phrase you just wrote it. I thought we had more in common.”
The phrase in question is Front’s claim that “the least we can do is let them have a f***ing slogan”.

It looks like it's been deleted but I remember seeing a sentence saying that Front had been subjected to some nasty abuse defending Fox after what she'd posted, and I thought at the time that it sort of proved her point.

Thats good it will keep him too busy to ruin decent drama by appearing in it .

Wow Front doesn't look like an oxbridge twat at all here.

Rebecca Front looks like a twat for trying to explain why All Lives Matter is a movement for dicks and racists??

No, for "the least we can do is let them have a f***ing slogan".
