Laurence Fox. The twat.

[Lord Camomile]

He is also, I learned the other day, the brother-in-law of Richard Ayoade. Which must be utterly horrendous for the latter (and, one has to assume, his sister Lydia).

 

[two sheds]

Divorced man, not allowed to see his kids anymore.

was that the guitar playing

 

[Orang Utan]

He was in Lewis (the sequel to Morse) and was married to Rose Tyler. He is from the Fox acting dynasty. He does celebrity Gogglebox.

He was married to Billie Piper too

‘She’s turned the weans against us!’

Bigamist as well as bigot?!

I dunno. It doesn’t say owt about Tyler on his Wiki

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Billie Piper is Rose Tyler... Eccleston and Tenant era Doctor Who.

 

[philosophical]

Oh OK. I have never seen his programmes to my knowledge.
Detectorists is more my kind of thing. And endless cat videos.

 

[Orang Utan]

Billie Piper is Rose Tyler... Eccleston and Tenant era Doctor Who.

Ah

 

[philosophical]

Actually I pay more attention to Larry the cat and hope he sees off a third Tory.

[danny la rouge]

He's probably distantly related to Rachael Stirling and Diana Rigg. (Becky and her mum in Detectorists).

 

[danny la rouge]

Ah

You knew that.

 

[Orang Utan]

You knew that.

I didn’t

 

[danny la rouge]

I didn’t

Oh yes you did!

 

[19force8]

In fact the MET and Sainsbury’s co-opting BHM does make me vomit into my mouth a little bit.

Yes.

Although the fact that major public facing businesses now feel it necessary to come down on the right side of this and other issues is perhaps a better indicator of the way society is moving than the sound and fury of bigots on social media generally.

 

[philosophical]

Apparently I am distantly related to Ghengis Khan or Edward the Third or something.
Laurence Fox is related to the Jackal bloke is he?

 

[Orang Utan]

Oh yes you did!

I don’t watch children’s tv.

Divorced man, not allowed to see his kids anymore.

That's the thing that rings alarm bells. How much of a bastard do you have to be for the family court to stop contact with your kids?

Also, it must be utterly galling for a narcissist to be so firmly put in his place. Might be what tipped him over the edge.

 

[danny la rouge]

I don’t watch children’s tv.

Billie Piper playing Rose on Dr Who was even mentioned on the Archers.

(“I spent Christmas on my own watching Dr Who”
“How was it?”
“It hasn’t been the same since Billie Piper left”).

But, OK. I accept that you only knew who Billie Piper was from her pop career. I know people never believe me that my ignorance of sport is practically total. So I can see the parallel.

Yes. Nephew. And son of the guy from Performance and the Servant.

I have been watching her in I Hate Suzie - pretty impressive. I think this is one of the reasons Fox is shitting the bed so much recently

Yes.

Twitter is nothing like real life. Whatever the big obsession of the day is on Twitter, you can be absolutely certain that the general public are not up to speed on it. This alone gives me optimism for the future.

The latest from the wannabe-leader of Britain's 'White Rage' movement:

Laurence Fox boycotts Sainsbury’s as they support Black History Month and vow ‘not to tolerate racism’

As a vegan, I'm delighted to hear there will be less gammon in Sainsbury's now.

 

[cantsin]

informative twit threads walking through the Telegraph / Beeb etc heavy-ish hitters ( politics / PR) forming the backbone of Fox's nascent 'political ' structure such as it is - bottom line, as with the pro Brexit Parties, 'winning seats' etc not necc.the priority ( for the backers - daft cnut Fox will take anything he can get, on any front ) , but pushing Tories hard to fight the (percieved ) culture wars looks achievable,especially with Johnson camp already issuing teachers with the ' no anti capitalism' etc guidelines, and floating Paul Dacre / Charles Moore as Ofcom / Beeb chairs etc .... new attempted ' long march through the institutions, backwards' imminent ?

 

[scifisam]

Of late he's been calling people who disagree with him paedophiles.

I think it's generous of him to offer to share that £5m amongst his political opponents.

Yep. Including the editor of Pink News. Not really the best person to throw random serious accusations at.

 

[editor]

He delivers a fresh batch of twathood every day:

Laurence Fox boycotts Sainsbury’s after it supports Black History Month

Actor accused the supermarket of promoting ‘racial segregation and discrimination’

Well I'm sure Sainsbury's won't be grieving over not having Laurence Fuckwit in their stores. Their staff get more than enough shit from the public in the course of their work, they won't miss Looza's contribution.

 

[SpookyFrank]

He was married to Billie Piper too

She's not got shit for luck with husbands has she?

TBF I have watched all of Dr Who and know that Billie Piper played Rose Tyler but didn't at all get that was what you were talking about and thought you were saying he was actually married to someone called Rose Tyler and Billie Piper

Their statement, which prompted his boycott, literally said "if you have a problem with this, don't shop here, you're not our priority". He's literally doing what they told him to do, and thinking it's some kind of protest. I guess he thinks he's calling their bluff, which, to be fair, he might be; no idea how genuine the sentiment from Sainsbury's was.
