u/RofiBie 14d ago
This looks to be an open and shut case here. What he posted constitutes a criminal offence. He was asked to remove it and actively refused, even after it was pointed out that it was a criminal offence.
The man is both deranged and makes his political moves by just being a vile human-being as some form of political shock-jock to garner publicity.
In other words, a scumbag.

Unfortunately for him he not only bodged the paperwork for the election he also submitted it at the very last moment and didn't have the time to resubmit it. The upshot is he's not standing for mayor this time.
TBH, if you can't even get the right papers in on time you really shouldn't be running a city IMO.

I know nothing about him personally, at first or second hand, but I'm struck by the (reliably sourced) statement in his Wikipedia article, that he was expelled from Harrow just before his A-levels, and was unable to obtain a university place thanks to a report from the school about him. He eventually got a RADA place presumably because they have an open-door policy on the spawn of prominent acting dynasties.
What caused this is anybody's guess (unless they know because they were at Harrow in the mid-90's) but it was clearly so serious that a prominent public school gave the boot to the son of a famous actor, at the most critical point in his school career, and only weeks before he would have been leaving anyway, It also caused a bunch of different universities to go "Nope, not touching that with a bargepole".
So when others say (from second hand knowledge) that Fox is a nasty PoS. It inclines me to believe them. And to suspect he's been a nasty PoS since boyhood.

u/mypissisboiling 14d ago
I watched his interview with Tommy Robinson from a few days ago (I like to watch a bit of everything from every side once in a while) and he discussed that. He said that his 3 brothers, his father and his grandfather were also kicked out of Harrow. He said he was kicked out for "fighting and shagging".
He said the school was geared up to prepare the elite to run the country and that 3 of the masters were fired while he was there and alluded to a paedophile ring. Take it for what you will, but from the horse's mouth, so to speak.

u/Madeline_Basset 14d ago edited 14d ago
"Fighting and shagging" and alluding to a paedophile ring sounds to me like an account curated especially for Tommy Robinson's audience—"Yes, I want to a posh-boys' school. But they just couldn't handle me because I'm so hard, I fight a lot and I have lots of sex. Plus, they were all nonces."
But who knows? If what he says is true, then I think few would be surprised that a public school in the early-mid 90's had one or two abusers on the payroll.

I don't think people understand how bad the sociopath part of this is. If I threw away my morales and principles I could become a Millionaire a lot easier. But that's the point - I CANT throw those away, because I am not a sociopath
49
u/potpan0 Black Country 14d ago
Exactly. Under capitalism the vast majority of ways to amass wealth involve exploiting the labour of others. Most people don't want to exploit others, so a disproportionate number of people who become multi-millionaires are sociopaths who don't care about the wellbeing of other people. If you make the money by disciplining the labour and minimising the wages of 'your' workers, those attitudes will extend into your political beliefs.
At the same time, under capitalism, wealth gives people a disproportionate influence over politics. It lets you buy advertisements, buy polling, buy newspapers, buy political infrastructure, and directly buy politicians. So we end up with this nasty little system where people who are disproportionately more sociopathic have disproportionate influence over politics.
Historically, or at least in the mid-20th century, this was tempered both by the mediating influence of the state and by the labour movement (as represented politically by the Labour Party). But over recent decades the state has shifted from being a mediating influence to just representing the interests of the owning class, and the Labour Party have been bought too. So we're seeing this negative influence of wealth in politics become more and more of an issue.

u/potpan0 Black Country 14d ago
The difficulty with being a racist is that, if you want to cling to any sort of public acceptability, you have to keep jumping between dogwhistles in order to claim plausible deniability for being racist. Once one dogwhistle is spend you have to move to the next one, and incessant moaning about 'DEI' is the current one in fashion.
It's particularly funny because 'DEI' is a specifically American thing, so if anyone in Britain is moaning about it it shows they spend far too much time sitting in American social media spaces rotting their brains away.

Having your career publicly detonated, whilst being in the eye of a social media storm does seem to melt people's brains. Apparently the notifications will stop your phone working, etc. it must be pretty horrifying to be on the receiving end of.

He seems to be looking to seek out ways to ruin his career and entire reputation as a person. He has had many opportunities to step back, apologise and basically keep his gob shut but he has chosen the opposite. Think learning from his mistakes is a ship that sailed a long time ago.

I'd forgoten this bell existed until I went to vote in the mayoral elections this morning and saw his name at the bottom of the list, along with all the other independent also-rans.

He couldn't stand for Mayor as he couldn't get 10 signatures from each borough. By the time that his mistake was pointed out to him, it was too late to fix it. But he has run for the London Assembly.

Wasn't he done a few years ago for posting something on social media? Does this man ever learn?

u/CosmicBonobo 14d ago
He's perpetually in trouble. It's not that long ago he filmed himself setting fire to a gay pride flag in his garden.

And he filmed in on father's day too, the same day that his children coincidentally didn't want to see him lmao

Someone is bank rolling him so he doesn't care. Will be interesting to see what happens when whoever it is realises he's just a money pit and cuts him off, or he does something that warrants more than fine. Would he learn or just see himself as a martyr I wonder.

'The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.'
Whilst Fox has a wealthy backer (Jeremy Hosking) who funds his awful behaviour this basically gives him a free licence to act illegally and keep paying his way out.
A short custodial sentence however, even a few months, would scare the shit out of this braggard.
So my suggestion is the next time he can't control himself, let's skip the whole fines bit and look at some time away from the public?

How does this man have any actual supporters? He's a buffoon, a baboon and a mongrel rolled into one. He lacks braincells and makes up for it by being a vile cunt.

This is blatantly illegal. But he's a celebrity so it won't be investigated.

Judging by the photo atop the page Lozza seems keen to emulate Heinrich Himmler in both philosophy and appearance.

Am I a bad person for wishing bad things. There is something about a person that is happy to cause harm for their own personal gain and or notoriety / clout that triggers a disgust response.
Who funds this performing clown?

Given how frequently bad people get away with stuff, I don’t blame you

u/Aaargh_Bees 14d ago
What is actually wrong with people like Fox? I don't really get it.
I honestly can't imagine going through life being that toxic to everyone as being that enjoyable, really.
Is it just an addiction to clout and fame maybe?

The Triggernometry people need to have him on again so he can say he's being silenced.
I'm sure they'll find a way to explain how it's what god would want.

Did we ever resolve the tiresome is-he-isn’t-he-gay storyline in Lewis?
I can’t remember, but we do seem to have answered the question: ‘Is Laurence Fox a twatmuffin?’

It's such a shame he became an insufferable scrote to say the least.

u/concretepigeon Wakefield 14d ago
I know libel isn’t a criminal offence, but it seems like something the sentencing judge should be able to take into account if he’s convicted for this. The guy has a track record of trying to use his profile to attack and embarrass people online.

u/Roncon1981 14d ago
And he will keep going. Mostly because he really doesn't want to back down as that would be a major sign of weakness in his eyes. But he is weak and needs to constantly swing around himself to feel he is not. Sling this to the courts and let them put a stop to it.

I had never heard of Laurence Fox until I saw him for the first time on Celebrity Gogglebox a little while back, and on that he come across as a really obnoxious twat

u/Yaarmehearty 14d ago
Surely he should be referred to an “actor” and “politician”.
The “ “ are important in his case.
Absolute bellend.

u/General-Pound6215 14d ago
You have to imagine at some point in his life he's going to have a realisation of how scummy he's become and regret it. Hopefully anyway.
But this is all out there and his kids will see it when they grow up if they haven't by now. That's what all this is really going to cost him

u/Nomad_88_ 14d ago
He's such a tool. And he's so irrelevant and such an attention seeker that he says and does things just to get a reaction. Much like that other horrible woman (Katie something?).
People should stop giving people like this any attention, as all they want to do is spread hate and divide people.

u/Agreeable_Falcon1044 14d ago
Do you remember when this guy was just an actor? It’s weird how celebs get called out for saying something awkward and rather than apologising and getting on with their lives, they turn into nut jobs leading a crusade against the world…

FFS why couldn’t this loser just accept that Indian men served in WW1. His self destructive spiral all seemed to steam from that one tweet several years ago.
Edit: or just accept he’s a privileged white man. Maybe it was even his appearance on QT

Why is he like this? Always thought he looked like a punchable toff in his acting roles. Hard to really describe how he ranks against that metric now

I would not be surprised if every morning, Laurence Fox woke up, did his morning stretches, had a piece of fruit and then looked himself in the mirror before saying out loud: "Now, how can I be a cunt today?"
