Laurence Fox. The twat.

[Yossarian]

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.

But he might be in for a shock when the only acting roles he gets offered are in Ayn Rand adaptations.

One of the very, very rare occasions I'd not be in favour of the fox hunt being sabotaged

Trouble is being gobshite of the week is even easier than being a mediocre actor and the more people who make this career change and profit from it, the more crowded the market will become. This means that this latest cunt will be replaced and forgotten in short order, which is good, but it also means next week's cunt will have to sink that little bit lower to get paid, and the next one after that and so on. Hopkins got stuck in this loop competing against previous iterations of herself, and look how that turned out.

Twat seems pleased with all the attention, he's posted this

He is a very naughty boy.

Have you seen him singing, it’s a prime example of when someone doesn’t have anyone around them who respects them enough to stop them embarrassing themselves

Twitter is thoroughly enjoying this month's 2 minute hate figure

He has a curious voice. The song I saw was... bad.

Or is afraid of them.
Or being paid by them.

Doesn't want to date woke women? That's fine, I'm sure most woke women would by definition steer clear of someone like him too.

I do take issue with his point about all women under 35 seeing themselves as victims. This is just my point of view, but as a feminist my point is that my femaleness does NOT inherently make me a victim and I don't need to be cossetted and overprotected from men. Women are equal to men and therefore want equal treatment, not special treatment. Only a small minority of people (any gender) are sexist, and if we meet one, then yes, we'll explain why that's wrong and try and educate. That's not the same thing as playing the victim.

i) #notallfeminists etc.

i) Indeed.

now we just have to wait and see if he goes full hopkins (the song lyrics point this way) or settles down to the more tenured racism of a spectator column/radio 4 appearances. (class and schooling point this way)

 

[chilango]

The BBC his Dad's (and Uncle's) old school mates seem very keen indeed to tell him that his opinions are, in fact, very important.

"newsworthy"

He's the dictionary definition of 'newsworthy': noteworthy as news; topical

Not sure why some people are being so arsy about this thread. Yes, he's a no-mark twat, but this particular forum is about current news and Laurence Fox is currently all over the mainstream news and social media. He seems to be positioning himself as some kind of Important Spokesperson - and in doing so, it's interesting to see who is supporting him.

If it's of no interest to you, there's plenty of other threads to contribute to.

yer man's had one vaguely leading role in a programme which many people aren't aware of. what he says may make the news but tbh so much other utter bollocks fills the pages of the press these days just because something's reported doesn't make it interesting. and surely among the criteria of what we share is that it should be interesting: and ideally entertaining. and this is neither.

Thank you for your opinion. I disagree. Still not sure why some people feel the urge to go to the effort to post up the fact that they don't find this one particular thread personally interesting.

Did he do anything racist aside from saying he didn't think racism was the driving force for the monstering of Meghan Markle?

Oh wait, he's off again. This was published one hour ago. What a fucking plum.

Actor Laurence Fox has hit out at the inclusion of a Sikh soldier in Oscar-nominated film 1917, calling it “institutionally racist”.

Speaking on James Dellingpole’s podcast, Fox - best known as DS James Hathaway on ITV drama Lewis - revealed that seeing actor Nabhaan Rizwan in the film “diverted” him from the story.

He added that the “oddness of the casting” causes a “very heightened awareness of the colour of someone’s skin”.


Fox said: “There were Sikhs fighting this war... Ok, you’re now diverting me away from what the story is.”

He added: “There is something institutionally racist about forcing diversity on people in that way.”

because if people say 'this isn't interesting' perhaps posters will think twice before posting 'dull celeb says something to let people know he's alive' in the future

 

[SpookyFrank]

Wow. That was on cue.

So well timed in fact that one could almost suspect him of having shit opinions on purpose to keep his profile high among the mouth-breathing community.

I can't see that it's going to get him much acting work, or sell many bad records.

Absolutely. And so the race to the bottom accelerates.

Maybe. Others might think he's in the process of committing career suicide.

Hey ho. See ya, Lol, I hardly knew you.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

I suspect he will burn out quite quickly. He might get a "will this do" column in the Sun or something.

 

[Manter]

He told a black woman she was boring talking about racism and was racist herself.
And I can’t help thinking at a really fundamental level, that if BAME people say there is a racism problem, white people need to shut up and listen. To argue with people about their own lived reality feels, well, racist
