Laurence Fox. The twat.

[Pickman's model]

Torn apart by a pack of leagles.

To be fair to fox he wasn't so much torn apart as he went to pieces

 

[equationgirl]

Oh dear how sad he lost.

Oh dear how sad he lost.

It's not the winning but the taking part that counts

Crystal was interviewed on Sky this morning...

Crystal, "I called Laurence Fox a racist. He called me a paedophile. The judge found yesterday that me calling him a racist was not defamatory. And him calling me a paedophile was. So we've had a victory on all counts"

Kay Burley, "Why did you decide to take him to court?" Crystal, "Honestly? He's a bully"
Kay Burley, "Why do you think Laurence Fox is a racist?" Crystal, "He's done and said many things which are deeply racist"
Kay Burley, "Do you have any sympathy for him?" Crystal, "I have sympathy for people who have been targeted.. There's a huge swathe of the population that experience this nastiness"
Kay Burley, "What was he like in court?" Crystal, "Erratic, defensive. He used the N word in the box.. He defended black face.. He couldn't agree that saying: I hate black people, was a racist statement.. It was really hard to watch"

Unbelievable!

There should be a drama made of this case. And fox encouraged to apply to play himself. Then they should get someone else to play him

And whoever plays him should ham it up to the point of caricature.

He missed the bit where the judge said the court didn't even get as far as defining racist because it didn't matter - he'd done it all to himself.

I liked the comment in that thread linked to above: "You can say what you like about Laurence Fox, no really ...

Larry is going to need to hit up his sugar daddy, Jeremy Hosking, for a few quid.

after all, fox does ham it up himself. tbh i'd have loved to see kenneth williams play him. or frankie howerd.

why would an actor, whose body is his wherewithal, get tattoos on the back of his hands? surely that alone would limit the job offers he'd receive to middle-aged racist twat?

Too racist for GB News.

Too racist for GB News.

If they ever remake V for Vendetta, and I hope they don't, he'd be a shoe in for fascist party leader. See also: 1984.

john turner, who played roderick spode in the fry and laurie jeeves and wooster would have been a superb susan

 

[NoXion]

A shoe in? Wouldn't a shoeing be better?

 

[Kaka Tim]

So much self-own. So much psychopathic narcissim. So much denial of reality.

You would have to have a heart of stone not to laugh.

 

[Rob Ray]

You're all missing the big picture. If he can become unemployable after years of being the public face of obnoxiously bigoted dipshittery what's to stop the same thing from happening to every obnoxiously bigoted dipshit? Generations of overprivileged chinless wonders to come might have to actually consider what comes out of their pie holes, and that's basically the same thing as fascism.

Going off at a tangent here, but this ruling reminds me of the time when the Sex Pistols’ Never Mind The Bollocks was released, and a Virgin record shop (remember them?!) in Nottingham was taken to court by the police for displaying offensive material - namely, the album cover stuck up in their shop window. John Mortimer QC successfully defended the case on the basis that the term ‘bollocks’ wasn’t necessarily obscene, as it had been used in Old English to mean ‘priest’.

Asked for his reaction, John Lydon (or Rotten, as he then was) said: “Hooray! Bollocks is legal! Bollocks! Bollocks!”

 

[Storm Fox]

Fox doesn't seem to realise that the judgement is worse than the judge saying that he is a racist, so there was not a libel; it's that he is such an awful human with little or no redeeming traits that calling him a racist, whether it is true or not will not affect how he is viewed by people at large and not just the tiny reactionary circle-jerk of the 'silent majority'.

He needs to STFU, get a lot of therapy, genuinely change and come back in a year with a statement of how he was in a bad place and massively fucked up and hope he can restart his career.

Hidden by make up nowadays. Lots of actual actors have visible tattoos - Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie, Colin Farrell, Ben Affleck etc.

Now THAT was cancel culture. Florence Pox doesn't know he's born.

Fox would need a lot of facial make-up too, which might make his employment uneconomic

It does feel like a bit of a statement as well, 'Yes i have tattoos, but you can spend a load of time hiding them each day before filming can begin because i am a fantastically talented actor who you desperately want in your production'

not sure this is going to work out for him though.

How long did yesterday's flounce last then?
And has he deleted it?

Well that's

Deleted everything back to end of October. (first sensible move he's made, though futile)

a radio play all about it is still available Turning Point - Never Mind the Ballocks - BBC Sounds

(it was a nickname for priests, rather than a straightforward 'meaning' - as it is what they talked)
