Laurence Fox - Another anti-woke grifter [split topic]

[idunnosomename]

why is this guy such a fucking cunt. it's incredible really. he's such a fucking cunt.

[Kankurette]

He got kicked out of Harrow. If that's not an example of extreme cuntery, I don't know what is.

[jobotic]

Isn't his argument that he called them paedophiles to illustrate how awful it is to call people terrible things with no evidence? Like when he gets called a racist (ha!).

Pathetic obviously but I can see him getting away with it.

that's because he was such a working class hero, not a tremendous cunt who the school wanted rid of rather than taking his parents' money

Yes, so working-class he comes from a posh acting family.

Jobotic, yes, that is exactly what he did.

[amputeeporn]

Be great if he lost his arse in the lawsuit and got drubbed in the election, too.

I haven't seen any kind of polling (if such a thing even exists for a Mayoral vote?), does he actually have chance? I'd guess not?

[Mr Banlon]

Working class 'hero' John Bindon scared Laurence's dad so much during the making of Performance that Fox Snr ran away and hid for 10 years.
James Fox had shadowed Bindon prior to filming to help him get into the character of 'Chas'. Some of the stuff he saw Bindon and his associates get up to when he followed them on their rounds shit him right up. Bindon later turned up on set with a thumb he'd bitten off someone during a fight. He kept the thumb in a matchbox and would rattle it at Fox Snr to wind him up. James Fox's experiences with real life hard cases caused him to go cuckoo. So it's a bit rich Laurence giving it the big tough-guy act when he was concieved during the time his dad had a nervous breakdown and ran away from acting because some working class ruffians had frightened him.

[idunnosomename]

here's an article from like 20 years ago where he's going "I'm not posh! I'm not posh!" as he slowly shrinks and transforms into an arsehole. but at least he looks clean at this point.

I'm not an expert on libel law (or any law), but that strikes me as a bit of a non-defence since he left plenty time for the pedo smears to be seen and spread around before imparting his "lesson".

Just want to add that after he gave his explanation, he wrote "Here endeth the lesson 🙏" and I want him punitively sued just for that.

[Buelligan]

It's an absolutely hopeless defence.  Can one take it upon oneself to summarily murder an individual in the public square pour encourager les autres?  Happily for admirals and everyone else, not any more.  Especially if you're a dull non-lead actor with no authority to teach law or anything else, to anyone.  Speaks volumes about who he imagines he is.

Oddest thing, having seen this egomaniac lack of self control and his risible justification for it, who would trust this fool?  Who would imagine this tit head could run a fucking ballroom?

He's in the 2% 'other' category.

[jobotic]

Don't get me wrong, I'm saying that's his "defence", I'm not defending him.

I'm hoping he gets sued to fuck so that all he has left is his faint smell of shit.

[Paul Calf]

There's no fucking way the UKIP candidate is called Peter Gammons. That's reactionary troling elevated to the status of low art.

Heheh, believe me, I realise that old stick.  This man has mad ideas about who he is and some people, a few people, seem to believe him.  Each new day, another lesson in the folly of our species.

[Kankurette]

Nominative determinism.

They also had a guy standing as a councillor called Wayne Kerr.

It's like they're asking for it at times.

It would be hilarious if it went to court and he couldn't prove they were paedophiles but they could prove he was racist and that went down on record

Come on,everybody was scared of John Bindon. Even John Bindon.

If he wanted to sue 'em back, I would put money on their successfully using the "honest opinion" defence at the very least.

[jobotic]

A reminder of what he actually said. I do hope he's fucked.

[Jumblegraws]

What I'll say for Laurence Fox is that a lot of people reckoned that after the initial controversy, he'd be done, dusted and forgotten about within a month. He's like coronavirus in that respect.

[idunnosomename]

Only a more unpleasant organism overall.

[Kankurette]

Come on,everybody was scared of John Bindon. Even John Bindon.

To be fair, I'd be scared of him. I don't think it's classist to be frightened of a man who abused his wife and had gangland connections.

[Blue Jam]

Princess Margaret wasn't.

[Phoenix Lazarus]

Princess Margaret wasn't.

She liked his party trick of hanging glasses, allegedly.

fox's campaign is clearly properly bankrolled. his twitter has changed from him typing whatever wet shit pops into his head with the praying hands emoji to slogans and campaign videos. it's either bad they didn't get him to apologise and settle out of court for the defamation, or that's bankrolled too because it's worth it as publicity for FREEDOM OF SPEECH

though this cringe yer da shit against decriminalising cannabis isn't very libertarian

Oh yeah, he's got backers. He is NOT doing this off his own back. I wish I could remember who it was who wrote that series of tweets about him and the people behind him. It's not the Koch brothers but it is someone similar.
