Laurence Fox rightly dared to suggest that the whole ‘MegExit’ saga has nothing to do with “racism” and also suggested Labour should not choose its leader on the basis of what sex they are on the BBC’s Question Time last Thursday. He probably should have anticipated it, but the reaction that followed has been utterly preposterous.
Condemned by that nasty little harpy Lily Allen – a wastrel of a woman whom instead ought to live by the title of her 2014 song Wind Your Neck In – for “forcing his opinions” on “normal people” and “ranting about things you don’t know anything about,” Fox’s alleged “crime” went viral after a studio guest, a “researcher on race and ethnicity” named Rachel Boyle, labelled him a “white privileged male.”
In the days that have followed, Equity allowed its Twitter account to be used to describe Fox as a “disgrace to our industry” and one social media user announced: “You know what would be hilarious. If someone walked up to Laurence Fox and unloaded a couple [of] shotgun shells into his face. Ending his racist, miserable existence. I’d just laugh and laugh…”
Two stories to keep beside you
Hero of the Hour – Lorraine Kelly
Matthew Steeples lauds “mad as hell” Lorraine Kelly in spite of her speaking in “Gorbals gobbledygook”; here is a woman who has morphed into a tigress and a “gritty heroine of our times” With her “Gorbals gobbledygook” accent, many would describe Lorraine Kelly OBE as “impossible to understand.” Last year, at a film premiere with […]
Hero of the Hour 2021 – Peter Harknett
That 86-year-old steeplejack Peter Harknett has just completed his final job climbing St Giles Church in Horsted Keynes is remarkable.
Quite frankly, we join those saluting Laurence Fox. He responded reasonably to an overtly overly politically correct woman and called out the whole ‘MeGain’ saga for what it truly is: Self-absorbed nonsense. As the actor himself concluded: “It’s really starting to get boring now.”

He’s gone up in my estimation!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mate – —- you are welcome Down Under any time for a Castlemaine or four!!!!!!!!!!! As for Lily livered Allen —- do NOT send Down Under!!!!!!!!!!! Unshagable!!!!!!!!!!!
What a ludicrous state of affairs. Mental reaction but what can one expect in this deranged era?
He is a really good guy and a very fine actor. Those who criticize him are completely confused and arguably racist.
Totally agree, Laurence Fox is to be congratulated and applauded for being candid , bold and honest. The PC fascists went too far , and in a normal world should be prosecuted for hate and harassment. Glad this Megshit saga is coming to en end. playing the race card , was utterly ridiculous and senseless
Laurence Fox you are all class. Such a relief to hear a white male stand up for himself and all white males. Honesty and free speech must reign for all people, not just the nazi left.
Larence Fox is my new hero….you have to be a hero nowadays in this sad little country if you are an indigenous white human being with an opinion. I think I’ll call myself purple and demand my right to ….well ..everything!
