Laurence Fox. The twat.

[PR1Berske]

I don't believe a single word he says. Not even the adverbs or punctuation.

 

[Yossarian]

Vogue:

One imagines – actually scratch that, perhaps one can’t imagine – how hard the situation must be on her; to be coparenting a 15- and an 11-year-old with someone who in the days after we meet, in the most recent twist of a long and sorry tale, will lose a libel case at the High Court against a former Stonewall trustee and a drag artist he called paedophiles on the internet (in return one had called him a racist: an accusation the court had no quibble with).

....But how do you go about coparenting in a situation like this? “With enormous difficulty,” replies Billie, solemnly

Fox: (1,000-word rant on social media about how evil she is and how undifficult he is)

 

[JimW]

We've all seen the sausage and chips.

 

[Plumdaff]

I know this is horribly parasocial of me, but I've never wanted to give a woman I don't actually know a hug more in my life.

What an astonishing self pitying shit stain of a human he is.

 

[weepiper]

Imagine. Imagine you had had kids with that man. Fucking hell.

 

[Dystopiary]

I'd lay money on the 50-50 custody arrangement and the "no judge has ever agreed I was abusive" shit being an outright lie, albeit one he possibly j has convinced himself of, same as he left court after having conclusively lost his racism libel case claiming that he'd won.

If she didn't report the abuse at the time*, the family court judge probably isn't likely to say "it definitely happened/didn't" anyway. Fox probably knows this, but it sounds like something that has legs with the kind of people likely to take him seriously.



*To be clear, no judgement from me if that's the case.

 

[scifisam]

We've all seen the sausage and chips.

Yes. And the thing is, that's not the worst meal for a knackered single parent to throw together on a busy working day, especially if they're on a low income (obviously Fox is none of those things except a parent), but nobody would ever present it as "look how fantastic a parent I am for not letting my children starve." It's very very basic, and if he sees that as up to the level of boasting about then what the fuck is he feeding them on bad days?

 

[tim]

The use of pronouns is perplexing. Is Fox going woke?

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Imagine. Imagine you had had kids with that man. Fucking hell.

It's reading about shit like this that makes me glad to be aro-ace and childfree, to be honest.

 

[cupid_stunt]

We all know what a complete knob-head he is, it's played out daily, and he's certainly not acting, it must have been unbearable living with him.

 

[Orang Utan]

Don’t bother reading the comments. As usual people dumb enough to pay eight bucks appear at the top, you have to scroll a long way down for a morsel of wisdom.

Rapist and trafficker Andrew Tate amongst them

 

[Orang Utan]

Bullshit. He's totally DARVO-ing. Billie's made it clear she doesn't want to talk about him and wants as little to do with him as possible. I do not think Fox is the victim here with his track record. Plus he's playing to his right-wing MRA fans. Remember this is the guy who posted the 'hard times make strong men' quote. He's appealing to a certain audience.

Oh yeah, Fox loves Tate. Gee, I can't think why Billie wants nothing to do with him.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Oh yeah, Fox loves Tate. Gee, I can't think why Billie wants nothing to do with him.

And, Tommy Robinson.

Who cares so much about women's rights that he encouraged his followers to brigade a DV helpline because it offered services to Muslim women.

Jesus, every time I think he can't get worse.

Sorry, Lotte you must be hip/young (or at least compared to the average Urbanite) as I had to look up another thing:
“Brigading: the practice of organizing or participating in a coordinated campaign of online harassment against a targeted individual or group, especially on social media”

 

[Stash]

Sounds a lot like Lance Armstrong saying he never tested positive

I am as cool as a Scotch bonnet.

On this thread I have learned three new things this morning!

I read somewhere earlier that boys in school have been attacking their mums for having jobs, content taken directly from the Tate textbook.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Imagine. Imagine you had had kids with that man. Fucking hell.

Aye, must be brutal and incredibly tough to navigate.

Imagine being the kids of that man, too. Particularly given they've been having to deal with all this while still young (if my scant grasp on the facts is correct? ), and all his... stuff is so very public. They'll presumably have some sense of what others say about him.

They still go round his house, so clearly have some relationship with him, but lord knows how they even begin to process and feel about all of that.

 

[Lotte]

I read somewhere earlier that boys in school have been attacking their mums for having jobs, content taken directly from the Tate textbook.

So would they prefer living in poverty because there isn't enough money coming into the house?

It genuinely frightens me how many boys, and not just teenagers, have internalised Tate's crap. We're going to have more Plymouth shooters if this carries on.

 

[ElizabethofYork]

It's extremely depressing to see the amount of support LF has on social media. Loads of people calling him a freedom fighter, and slagging off Billie Piper. Shudder.

 

[Lurdan]

So would they prefer living in poverty then?

I imagine they would prefer having fathers who were 'man' enough to support 'their' woman. ETA: financially.
Indeed in many cases I imagine their resentment, expressed or not, would be even greater towards their father, than towards their mother, who is of course a 'mere woman'.

Should probably get a cream for that.

one man's freedom fighter is another man's tawdry misogynist pub bore

 

[Dystopiary]

"I don't usually talk about personal stuff" he insisted to his beer and a few remaining randoms as he contemplated the journey to the bog for another piss and a line, "but..."

They're idiots who are just taking his word for it.
