bee Posted September 27, 2020 #1 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Laurence Fox has been dipping his toe into political waters for a while and now he's preparing to jump in at the deep end... Planning to launch a political party called 'Reclaim'... I really like Laurence and it will be very interesting to see how this develops... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like Laurence and it will be very interesting to see how this develops... i doubt they'll ever seriously threaten the established parties, but they'll certainly pose real problems for the institutions they target, (the party might be a bit late, because as we see it today those that go woke go broke, the BBC's saving grace from the same fate is the licence fee) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wepwawet Posted September 27, 2020 #4 Share Posted September 27, 2020 It would be a huge task to replace the Tories, and the instruments they have at their disposal will make sure it never happens. It might though, if lucky, have an impact similar to that of Goldsmith's Referendum Party. If it means risking a Labour government by dividing the Tory vote, then as I find it difficult to find any serious differences between them, so be it. We'll have to see what Fox presents first though, and if he gets "corrupted" by the system and how badly the BBC/Sky will distort what ever message he has. We need a Savonarola or Cromwell without the puritanism. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glorybebe Posted October 7, 2020 #9 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Whether you agree with anyone's opinion or not, they are allowed to have opinions. Now, if someone's opinion doesn't fit with the current narrative, they are cancelled. It is bullying. I thought we were trying to stop bullying from all sides. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that's the paradox of the present way things are heading. Take 'Black Lives Matter' as an example. Martin Luther King was striving for a world where people were judged on their character & not on the colour of their skin. Today Identity politics is striving to do exactly the opposite. King would be turning in his grave. "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."

itsnotoutthere Posted October 8, 2020 #11 Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) And so it begins. :- https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-54447441 What the BBC don't tell you :- ‘In a statement shared on Twitter on Monday, Fox said: “If the game nowadays is to throw baseless insults and accusations about, then we should all be free to participate… “Having said that, I have deleted the tweets posted yesterday, in response to being repeatedly, continuously and falsely smeared as a racist, as they just serve as a distraction to the important work that needs to be done.”‘ Drama Queen No1 admitted… ‘Mr Blake also said he regretted some of the language he had used when responding to Fox; in one tweet, he had called him a “racist t***” So, happy to fling baseless accusations of racism at Fox but not happy to get some deliberately baseless accusation in return. ‘In a statement sent to Sky News regarding the threats to sue, a spokesman for the actor said: “We note the stated intention and the judicious wording of tweets setting it out. “However, unless and until intent becomes reality, we have no further comment beyond pointing out that Twitter insults, defamatory or otherwise, are a two-way street.”‘ Maybe Fox should sue them both for smearing him as a racist….and the BBC for trying its best to malign him as homophobic by not providing the full context and reason for his comment. Shouldn't be surprised I supposed, they employed the same tactics with Farage. Edited October 8, 2020 by itsnotoutthere 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we get the morons who have paid to make our programmes pay again for BritBox. The BBC make Del Boy look like a choir boy."

Unfortunately Bee it's a tried and tested formula, throw enough mud and some is bound to stick, it worked against TR and Farage, there are numerous people on here that accuse both both of them of being racists even without a shred of evidence, and when you ask them to produce evidence will just tell you they know, because just having a sensible immigration policy is racist.
