The Voice of Reason Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Comparisons have been drawn about how the police have treated both Fox and Chris Packham on promoting civil/ criminal disobedience in support of those causes they espouse. And to be fair it does seem there is quite a discrepancy. I am no Fox apologist but it does seem a bit scary. Slippery slope and all that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Colombe Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 One assumes about to be poorer Laurence Fox. Why would anyone call someone a paedophile without proof? Only an idiot would do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) Quote Under cross-examination, Fox suggested there were contexts in which the phrase “I hate black people” was not racist. Amazing. Quote He said: “If a man is just released from a Ugandan jail where he’s been gang-raped by several men and he walks out and he goes: ‘I hate black people’, it’s a sort of understandable response.” Just mindblowing.

The Voice of Reason Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Fox has only himself to blame. Initially he stood against the rise of the absurd woke culture , spoke sense and could have garnered significant support if he hadn’t gone off the rails. What on earth drove him to call these people paedophiles without any evidence whatsoever? Maybe he got carried away with all the publicity which led him into speaking nonsense. It’s a shame really. On the early part of his “ journey” ( dread phrase) where once he did present a reasonable viewpoint he’s turned into some sort of wannabe warrior and has embraced some unpalatable views. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you omitted from my second quote the bit where I said he “ has embraced some unpalatable views” That would have made clear that I am not a Fox apologist, but wouldn’t have made your posting as clever as you probably think it was.

I rather liked him in “Lewis” - I don’t know what happened to him. eta: It seems he went down a rabbit hole and emerged on social media as an Authentic Defender of the Anti-Woke Credo. His extreme right-wing political interests, unpleasant and unpalatable views and abusive public statements all seem to flow from this. I don’t remember him being political (or anti-woke, for that matter) while he was acting - maybe he fell foul of some conspiracy theory brain-washing. On reflection, I should feel sorry for him - hard to imagine that he could return to acting now and be taken seriously, even if he recanted some of the anti-woke abuse - “I wasn’t myself that day”, etc. Edited January 31 by Jarndyce eta 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
