He comes from a middle class background and is almost 60 now. A lot of actors come from a background that is middle class rather than "posh". Laurence Fox comes from an acting dynasty, is the son of a British movie star and therefore had a more privileged background than most.

Expressing an opinion is at least better than constantly trying to close the entire discussion down on the grounds what it wasn't newsworthy enough.
Unlike the random right wing shit you pollute ongoing threads with, this video is very relevant to the topic and so needs no precis.

Read the fucking thread you're already contributing to. I'm sure you'll love him.
Ok then, I’ll give your video a go, probably on one of my days off work as I’m currently knackered.

Fox, from a media/social media bubble perspective, is perfect.
The ideal counterpoint to the other subculture of left/liberal culture war fighters.
As the inevitably escalating war unfolds the issues that the two sides squabble over can be safely dispatched/overlooked/undermined and trivialised.
Well done to all those involved....

Nobody gives a shit. If you have nothing relevant to contribute to this thread, please go away quickly. And it's not 'my' video.

1. Two growing and increasingly vile irrelevant groups are engaged in a pointless ‘culture war’ - , emptied out of politics, agency and meaning’ but increasingly pulling others into its orbit.
2. On one side are the liberal left. Small in actual number, but heavily over represented in the media, academia etc with a politics barfed up/synthesised from the decline of organised labour and the ideological collapse on the left which has accompanied economic liberalisation.
3. On the other side are the alt right barfed up from a similar class milieu. A rag bag of localists, libertarians, paleoconservatives, right-wing populists, secular conservatives, and white nationalists specifically intent on engaging the above category.
4. Fox is an important new embodiment of the above category. A human face. Posh. Recognisable. Charismatic. A gathering presence.
Both sides militate against serious political organisation, or any real confrontation with the powerful forces that actually dominate our society. Both sides insistence on mediating/controlling language etc is fundamentally disabling.

Seems to have impressed the singer of some band or other on Facebook today. They genuinely think Fox has made a good point well. "Spot on!"

Precisely. He’s a magnet. A recruiter to the war. A new embodiment for shite politics. If you are into useless lazy explanations for the state of things but don’t like Lily Allen well how about Fox etc

meh
its a youtube special run by a greying ex kipper ( new culture forum) who has the arse about most things & they discuss political correctness gone mad- Larry is fed proto racist/ sexist tropes to which he eagerly responds and for eg calls out the hypocracy of black actors getting a leg up whilst he has no discernable source of income. its utter shit.If you enjoy rod liddle and the the spectator, you will fucking love it

Sorry, man - shitty thing to say.

Tbf I think Marty has a point. It's a bit of a mystery why we're paying this guy so much attention.
I thought he was in that big film that just came out, but it's like he's just this guy from an ITV drama spin-off a really long time ago. I know at our age time gets a little sketchy, but it was really quite long ago.

Great to see the modern fashion of conflating disagreement/different viewpoint with silencing in full effect here.

Well, I don't think insultingthis Fox guy on a little corner of the Internet (great as it is), that he'll never see, is of much use. I wouldn't expect editor to approve of such dodgy stuff anyway. I think the wider discussion of how we got to obediently giving our free time to such distractions might be a more productive conversation.
They say jump we say 'how high'?
he was on question time apparently. I don’t know I haven’t seen it. and on the back of that, doing the usual circuit. That’s legitimate to discuss.

Oh hell no.
He's a mediocre actor/singer & song writer who's been doing the rounds of breakfast TV for years, pimping his divorce from BIlly Piper and getting nowhere. Because, well he's not that memorable/good.
He's one of many privileged kids of rich luvvies who had opportunity but got expelled from private school, drifted doing whatever, used nepotism to get into RADA and still feels hard done by.
This 20 minutes of fame comes because he's happy to be the latest, revisionist, cartoon, old colonial in a younger body, panderer to White-Supremacists. Rent-A-Gob...happy to take the spotlight by being a grade A, ill-informed,fucking offensive arsehole.
He has the charisma of a maggot-ridden chicken leg.
Hardly anyone recognised him before 3 days ago.
The gathered presence is because he has aligned himself with the other pathetic cunts like him. Granted, they number a few.
