Laurence Fox. The twat.

[Dogsauce]

Can't imagine having to underwrite losses like this is particularly sustainable surely, or even desirable? What are they getting out of this? Fox isn't getting anywhere

They’re some sort of hedge fund type. Investing in stoking culture war bullshit is to keep people divided and punching down, keeps them away from other ideas like fairly taxing the super rich or demanding fair rents etc. There’s a strong financial motive to this, rather than an idealogical one. Unfortunately (or fortunately) they’ve not made a good investment here, Fox is a liability and incompetent.

 

[belboid]

he won't be bankrolling him much longer given the scale of legal fees and damages fox has run up. he won't be a millionaire much longer if he continues the relationship

he's bankrolling Bridgen for even more. I think its up to £9 million now.

More money than sense

It's a loan, payable on demand.

 

[prunus]

It's a loan, payable on demand.

This is probably an accounting thing. Zero interest loans require net present value calculations to hit the profit and loss accounts of the lender and the borrower unless they are ‘on demand’. Assuming it’s been lent to an entity (and not to Fox personally) when it comes to it the entity will declare bankruptcy and the loan will be written off and claimable as a tax loss to the lender. If it’s to Fox personally then writing off the loan would count as taxable income to him. Only an idiot would structure it like that…

 

[scifisam]

Ah, so Fox is definitely on the hook then

 

[quiet guy]

Looking forward to seeing him describe this as a victory.

He can borrow the yellow vermin's slogan "Winning here! "

Indeed or the version that I and many other alter those posters to read, ‘whining here’

 

[Calamity1971]

Me me me

 

[Lord Camomile]

Glad I looked ahead, because that was the exact phrase I was going to quote too

 

[Pickman's model]

Bet he's legless tonight

 

[WouldBe]

Me me me

Give him any role Lossa auditions for.

 

[two sheds]

I read that as Lassie - ideal role for Fox really.

 

[LeytonCatLady]

 

[rubbershoes]

And, he's off...



/over to LeytonCatLady.

If you lose a leg at work, the compensation should be loads more than that.

Not £90k more like £3million

 

[scalyboy]

What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the loathsome entitled toff.

It’s simply ghastly that a promising acting career was singie-handedly scuppered by the diabolical machinations of that real life Bond villain Sadiq Khan (there can be no other explanation for ‘Lozza’ being offered no acting gigs in the last few years eh).

I don’t suppose it’s occurred to him to seek alternative employment rather than sponge off the largesse of some tax-evading loon. There seems to be no shortage of demand for Deliveroo drivers. Aldi are currently hiring in my area (and quite decent hourly pay rates, in fact I’m thinking of asking them if they have any openings for a couple of days in the week to top up my present part-time job).

MacDonalds? Costa or Pret trainee barista? There’s work out there if you want it, ‘Lozza’.

But I suppose it’s more lucrative to make absurd and unfounded libel allegations, go to court, lose your case, and be hit with swingeing damage demands.

How I wish I had had a public school education, that would’ve enabled me to think out of the box in this way and make smart career decisions.

You absurd, posturing, gak-crazed buffoon.

Really?

How much, ehrm, leg do you need to lose for £3m? Asking for a friend...

It's not the injury itself that gives you the big bucks, but the cost of everything you need to deal with it

Have you seen the cost of artificial legs these days? An ottobock x3 will set you back £100k and has a lifespan of 5-7 years. You'll need other prosthetics at the same time like a waterproof one for showering

Some days you just won't be able to use the prosthetics so it'll be wheelchair time. Good thing your house has been adapted to cope with that

Even with the prosthetics, you'll need a lot of looking after and carers costs.

If that sounds good, an above knee amputation can be arranged. For the right price of course

 

[Lurdan]

The £180 grand is of course just the punitive damages awarded to the people he libelled. There's also the legal costs of this case.

Loser had already racked up £152 grand in costs when he applied for the case to be heard by a jury in 2022, failed and had to pay both sides costs.
The costs in this case will be 'substantial'.

According to Mukhtar:

The real damage is over £1.5m.

Entirely believable.

Bloody lawyers

 

[danny la rouge]

Really?

It was £97,000 for a leg below the knee, so it’d be 30,927.8 half legs, or 15,463.9 legs.

 

[brogdale]

So, has the twat called anyone a paedo since the case? That would show real bravery and cocking a snook at the woke-world; I think twitter should encourage him to do so.

I could do with 90k tbf, not sure I’d want to be called a paedo though.

Would happily be called a wanker for 10k, if Loser is up for it

 

[Sweet FA]

I'll do it for free: you big wanker.

 

[Lotte]

He'll keep doing it because he's a fucking idiot who's desperate for attention. He never learns.

 

[Kaka Tim]

will he be made to tweet one of those groveleing retractions on twitter with "please re-tweet" at the end of the message?

Now THIS is cancel culture. Fox needs to count his blessings.

He'll argue that that's what the Muslamics want to have here. Because he's an idiot.

Don't forget the phantom pain that amputees often have to live with.
