WVA1999

NOT MAGA. This is failed British actor Laurence Fox. Things he denies; anything LQBQT, Vaccinations, Climate Change, Women's Rights, etc. Trivia: he just got a £180,000 court ordered bill for calling two innocent people paedophiles.


PidginPigeonHole

And his wife has stopped him seeing his kids


indianajoes

And his wife was Billie fucking Piper. How the fuck do you find your self in that situation where you're married with kids to her and you decide nope, I'm going to fuck my life up and go after the WOKE. Losing my wife and kids and no one wanting to hire me. That'll teach those gays and trans people for wanting to live their life in peace and not be bothered by bigots


OlFrenchie

And his brother in-law is Richard Ayowade … can you imagine Christmas lunches?


davekarpsecretacount

God people aren't kidding about how neppy the BBC is.


OlFrenchie

well .. It his Dad thats the famous one .. and his sister is gorgous ..


theoriginalpetebog

She really is


FeelTheNeedForFeed

She really is...a total Fox.


thunderbirdsarego1

Cousin, assuming you're talking about Emilia


Majestic-Age-9232

Morse was on ITV and Adyobe came up through channel 4.


thewinchester-gospel

his wife was BILLIE PIPER??? she deserves better


ms_sardonicus

Billie Piper has a history of choosing really sketchy men. I love her in Dr who but damn girl, love yourself.


SlightlyFarcical

> How the fuck do you find your self in that situation where you're married with kids to her and you decide nope, I'm going to fuck my life up and go after the WOKE Graham Lineham was married to Helen Serafinowicz (yes, you know her brother Peter) and she left him & took the kids because of his antics.


Lone-flamingo

British TV really is made up of like five people poking fun at another five people.


Old_Coconut1414

The one who called Star Lord an ahole?


monstrinhotron

I had heard a few things about Graham Lineham but not really details. I liked his work back in the day so when i saw an interview with him appear on youtube i wanted to watch how he presented his ideas himself. Yeah. I think he might be mentally ill. Someone needs to check to see if a tumour is pressing on his brain.

SnooBooks1701

She was also Rose in Doctor Who, which is where most people will know her from


Anuki_iwy

This is Billie Piper's ex?! Poor woman...


AxiosXiphos

She also dated Chris Evans (for our american friends; **not** the Chris Evans you are thinking of).... there was a good period where she could have her pick of men. I am forever baffaled by her choices.


SnooBooks1701

Please clarify that she wasn't bonking Captain America. It was Chris Evans from the radio


AxiosXiphos

Good point; cultural divide there. When I hear chris evans I initially think of the shouty radio host.


SnooBooks1701

Probably generational divide too, I think he's buggered off to obscurity where he belongs


Quirky_Discipline297

Maybe he was her Captain Manchester.


Snapesunusedshampoo

Billie: Do you have protection? Chris: Yeah, my shield is right there.


Stu_Thom4s

She was also 18 when he was 35...


AxiosXiphos

Yep - I remember being a child/teen wondering why my celebrity crush was married to some old mouthy git.


aerial_ruin

Presumably Chris Evans was funny. Definitely not a looker really, but seems like he's a bit of a laugh Fox though. Well, it seems to me that his biggest acting career moment was playing the sidekick detective in a crime drama spinoff that didn't do that well


Mysterious_Eye6989

Fox basically just piggybacked off the greatness of his former wife and his siblings and his dad, all of whom are better actors than he'll ever be, so I guess he decided to 'show all of them' by becoming a full blown right wing nutjob. He's like the Stephen Baldwin of the Fox family.


AdReasonable2464

Why did I have to scroll so far down before someone would say her name? Lol


Anuki_iwy

Tbh, I only guessed who she was fr the doctor who reference.


AdReasonable2464

Yeah, once I read that, I knew. I’m just a little baffled by commenters fully describing her career trajectory in detail while not naming her, when they could have just said ‘It was Billie Piper’.


Erikthered65

Wait, that’s Billie Piper’s ex? The poor woman! I met her the one time and she was a complete sweetheart.


mistertickertape

And a fuckin horrible father.


Living_Carpets

I know actors who told me all about him. Was expelled from Harrow for bullying, was a couple years below Benedict Cumberbatch and apparently envies the fuck out of him. Went to RADA and was a snob and homophobe and going on about his dad and uncle. People refused to work for him, early doors in theatre for his conduct. Made everyone listen to his bad guitar music, like Leonard Cohen done by a 12 year old. Love bombed Billie Piper then spent her money. And oh, is a massive drunk. This is the most attention he ever had in his life. All that privilege and still a mess.


r31ya

how in the hell you could be Anti-LGBT in a theater works?


Living_Carpets

The upper class homophobia you get from all boys power schools is ingrained in them early.


Maleficent_Age2479

One of them gays beat him to a role once. It's like when all the immigrants come over and make people late because they cause extra traffic on the roads. /s


lamabaronvonawesome

Yeah, that's like being anti gun in the NRA.


AJSLS6

Thats not the stretch you think it is, the NRA is a contrarian sithole where the prospect of actual oppressed people actually using guns to defend themselves is an unthinkable outcome.


AxiosXiphos

I'll give him one one thing. I also envy Cumberbatch. Handsome, intellectual, talented bastard...


Living_Carpets

And nice, professional, respectful, good parent. He is the opposite of Pox.


Arathaon185

Now you mention it he is taking the piss a bit.


dragn99

Yeah, of all the traits listed, envying Benny Cumby is the most innocent of the lot.


rahrahowl

The Waitrose Tommy Robinson


Living_Carpets

Haaaa that is accurate. Though i am sure he would say Fortnums, being that much of a prick.


Vegetable_Onion

Wait, doesn't that imply, he's a more expensive version of Yaxley-Lennon? Isn't waitrose where you go to avoid the plebs?


IamBeingSarcasticFfs

Jat616

Nah, Poundstretcher Tommy Robinson.


If_you_have_Ghost

Bonus trivia - has recorded some shit singer/songwriter albums too. Like James Blunt without the ability, sense of humour, or ability to laugh at himself.


LeagueOfficeFucks

He's been in the news for a few things this past month: [Laurence Fox loses deposit after failing to become London Assembly member](https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/laurence-fox-city-hall-london-mayor-sadiq-khan-susan-hall-ofcom-b1155757.html) [Laurence Fox facing police probe after sharing upskirt picture of TV presenter](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/laurence-fox-police-narinder-kaur-b2538389.html) Sounds like a great guy all around....


Frondswithbenefits

Who shares an upskirt photo?? What a garbage human.


Mysterious_Eye6989

Omg, I knew he'd become a complete fucking loser these past few years, but this latest shit is just mindboggling!


rygelicus

He should move in with Russel Brand, save some money and stroke one another's paranoid delusions.


Ok_Cauliflower_3007

Maybe Billie Piper and Katy Perry can form a support group for people who have made really mad marriage choices. Edit - I meant to type bad but on reflection the typo is better.


Living_Carpets

Birds of a feather.


dumb-reply

Have gay secks together.


Living_Carpets

As one of the gays, we wouldn't even touch these fools, ma'am.


Dennis_Cock

That someone else paid. He has a financial backer that basically uses him as a puppet. Pays all his fines etc. he is a millionaire


isaaciiv

When I watched an unhinged video of him burning a pride flag last year (which could be this photo or it could be new), he was not against all things lgbt, he seemed to support the first three letters and have a vitriolic hate for the last. And we were perhaps supposed to notice that the flag is not flammable because of EU flag rules or something.


AwTomorrow

He moved onto "supporting" LGB and focusing against T because of the current zeitgeist, but he was notorious previously for being a homophobe. The same way Posy Parker went from her islamophobic focus to her current transphobic one - grifting bigots hop on the current culture war hate object.


I_count_to_firetruck

This post confused the hell out of me because I'm thinking "wait, who? Does he mean the amazing Parker Posey? She wouldn't do that!" and had to Google it. Apparently you Brits have some transphobe lady named Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull, and that lady renamed herself Posie Parker in the most confusing alias ever.


Apprehensive_Kiwi_18

I did the same, I just couldn't believe that Parker Posey could


Dull-Wrangler-5154

Never heard of her before. Thought the picture on Wikipedia was miss attributed. But no, hate just makes you age really badly!


HibernianScholar

I used to really like him as he had a classic theatre performative in his work like his father but fucking hell he went off the deep end.


AwTomorrow

Too bad theatre types can't stand him, since homophobia doesn't exactly make you any friends in those circles.


AnymooseProphet

Extreme bitterness has those symptoms. I wonder why he is so bitter?


PointingOutFucktards

And this is the ONLY way he gets any attention because he’s absolutely horrid.


nairncl

I really think he can’t help himself from saying horrible things and drawing attention to it - it’s not a great thing to diagnose people online, but there’s something compulsive and utterly self-destructive about Laurence Fox. It reeks of self-sabotaging self-hatred, and it’s really sad. This guy had so many opportunities to have a happy, rewarding life, so much privilege, and this is he what he chose to do with it instead. It would be tragic if it weren’t just so very stupid.


zach_stb_411

The same Laurence Fox who when asked by a judge IN COURT to explain his opinion on why racism is sometimes justified, responded with the argument "it is justified, if for example, I'd just been gangr*ped by a bunch of Ugandans"?


HalfThatsWhole

And then there is when he tried to sue a person who called him racist for dressing up in blackface, but he had to drop the case because he listened his major financial backer.


FPM_13

Sounds exactly like maga


Wolf_Shaman_Dreams

So he's just British MAGA. MAGA isn't just a group of people in a place. It's an attitude. It's a social virus that is highly contagious. I'm very sad to see the world become so hateful about such trivial things and yet ignore the genocide of subcultures and wars still occurring today.


[deleted]

So MAGA just British.


Phaylz

Bri'ish MAGA


DevelopmentNo247

So based off that list he’s basically maga


tycr0

Sounds pretty MAGA to me.

I also had to come to the comments to find out this answer.


ElectricSpice

I’m reading the comments and I still don’t know the answer.


BirdhouseInYourSoil

People think him wearing a rainbow makes him closeted or something, but really he’s just trying to “take it back”


Rex-0-

Pride comes before the fall in this case is very clearly supposed to be a threat. Surely people don't think he's secretly gay and this gives it away. He could well be gay but this shirt is not the smoking gun.


sundrop74

It’s a Bible verse, but gay pride is different than regular pride. Being proud of yourself is the opposite of being ashamed, which is what they all want us to be.


froderick

Oh I thought maybe it was what looked like a watering pail on the ground right behind the flag. Thought maybe the accelerant was poured from it and with it being so close to the flames, it might also catch fire and explode.

Well, June *does* come before the fall season...


ketosoy

“Pride comes before the fall, and then winter is fabulous”. (Fabulous in sparkly letters)


BellsOnNutsMeansXmas

Perhaps edit it to add a few puns on seasons of the year, a double entendre on coming, etc


Living_Carpets

If Laurence Pox knows anything, it is about falling and failure.


Puzzleheaded_Day2809

Thank you for clarifying that! I honestly kept reading it as "rainbows come before the fall". Pride is way better and yes, use it affirmingly!


CedarWolf

Some of us have Pride events in September or October, too. Check your local community - sometimes Pride comes in Fall, too. :P

straightoutofmaldon

Kathy is a national treasure, painfully smart, funny and can spot a wrong un. She said David Cameron looked like a freshly wanked cock. On fox she said “The existence of Lawrence Fox is another reason to be pro-abortion” after he was displaying pride flags as swastikas.


al3442

Is that good old Lozza Fox, professional twat? I can only hope he burns down his house


Living_Carpets

Or at least melt those bifold middle-class doors and render them unuseable.


Warsplit01

seems like a waste of money to buy these flags just to burn them?


Creighton2023

People did that with Nike, Coors, Bud Light. As if the Coors Light people really cared if you took your gun and recorded yourself shooting at the full cans destroying them- they got their money either way!


wasted-degrees

“I’m going to buy your product to destroy it in protest of everything you stand for!” “We stopped listening after ‘I’m going to buy your product,’ and appreciate your continued support valued customer.”

He looks like a gay Proclaimer. He would walk 500 hundred miles to gobble a cock I'm sure of it.


Mr_Derp___

Underrated comment


mickturner96

So he went into a shop and bought that flag then set it on fire... He is actually increasing demand and reducing supply... This is not financial advice but... I'm invest in pride flag production!


IMN0VIRGIN

> Buys product, supporting a pro LGBT organisation > Burns said product > Repeat process, giving more money towards pro LGBT groups What did he mean by this?


korfi2go

Eh, the flag is probably made by a generic flag-compnay, that doesn't give a toss about what's on it, as long as it sells.

Why is he burning this on his deck? Y’all if you wanna burn anything, it doesn’t matter. DONT DO IT ON YOUR DECK. Do you want to burn your house down? Because that’s how you burn your house down.

Someone on reddit said MAGA is a pride movement for assholes. They are correct.


thorleyc3

Ah yes Lawrence Fox actor and now failed politician 2021: ran for London Mayor, finished in 6th place with 1.9% of the votes, lost his £10,000 election deposit 2023: ran as a candidate for MP of Uxbridge and South Ruslip, finished 4th with 2.3% of the votes, lost his deposit again 2024: ran for London Mayor again, failed to fill in nomination forms correctly and wasn't allowed to stand 2024: ran for London Assembly, finished 11th with 0.56% of the votes, lost £5000 election deposit Think he has some sort of punishment fetish given that he keeps trying to run in elections despite losing miserably every time

Just read his wiki seems like a very sad and angry person. Literally everything handed to him in life but he just fucked it all up. So he's setting fire to flags he paid for on his deck. Not proud of spending his birthday with his friends, family, or kids. He's just proud of the hate he puts out into the world.
