Laurence Fox. The twat.

[Wolveryeti]

Looks like he's going for the Musk defence? We'll see whether it works as well in the UK as it did in the US.

One would imagine he is on a rather sticky wicket. Sally Bercow got tonked by the beak for a much milder insinuation in the Bercow vs. McAlpine case

We all got election booklets through the post today. One of my housemates made a few amendments to the Lozza manifesto page...

 

[gosub]

Imagine if he won the mayor's job and then actually had to explain to people why he couldn't any longer go around telling people they had to unmask. No doubt the fault of cancel culture and the woke crowd in number 10

Public liability gone mad

Dancing is definitely an uncountable noun!

 

[stdP]

Fuckwittery of Fox and the Reclaim morons aside, does the mayor even have the legal power to override national policy on things like the lockdown rules...?

Dancing is definitely an uncountable noun!

"One finds oneself dancing"
"I see you're dancing two"
"I'll throw some dancing lessons in for three!"
"I'm up four dancing"

You're grammers our week, old man!

Corruption and unaccountable brutality maybe

And as if by magic:

Laurence Fox sued for libel over 'paedophile' comments

The London mayoral candidate is being sued after he called three people "paedophiles" on Twitter.

www.bbc.co.uk

Mr Fox said: "Free speech. You throw meaningless and baseless insults at someone you get a meaningless and baseless insult in return."

Sounds like a productive way to spend your time

Broken windows theory , zero tolerance policing that conservatives credit for lowering crime in NYC. It was praised 20 years ago before they figured out it was a host of much more complex socio-economic factors that had brought about change in the city.
It’s an outdated reference to something of much debated merit.

And those who wilfully or ignorantly cling on to such discredited relics are worthy of much the same regard as any conspiracy loon: it's exactly the same behaviour.

Including a possible link to lead in petrol being phased out.

Is lead linked to violence?

Examining the evidence for the link between lead exposure and violence, Paul Illing finds a cautionary tale

As well as being discredited Broken windows theory - Wikipedia where is the Magic Money Tree to pay for all the extra policing?
Also regarding the anti-mask BS, by the time he'd take power* and able to enact anything we (hopefully) will need a reduced need for masks anyway. **
Has he not seen what happening in Brazil. Where we unfortunately see the costs of covid denialism.

*He's clearly not going to win.
**And even if it did, he'd still think enacting any relaxing of Covid restrictions would 'his' idea and not what would happen anway, because he is that stupid.

I think that what you seem to be trying to say is that he's a bit of a cunt.

You might very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment.

RoboCop isn't quite what I'd hoped for

 

[SpookyFrank]

Did he retract or apologise for any of it? If not then Musk's defence (which probably wouldn't work in the UK anyway) is for shit.

The guy who sued Musk also hired trumpist conspiraloon dickhead Lin Wood as his lawyer so that may also be a factor in his defeat.

Also that he can't decide what they teach in schools, can't withdraw funding from organisations that are too woke for him and can't compel anyone to fly a flag.

he'll over compensate with a flag on every tube station and every bus stop.

The only anxiety that cunt has is driven by penis envy. As in, envious of anyone who actually HAS a cock.

To be fair unless your some sort of whale fox being 100% cock has you beat
