Laurence Fox Speaks Out After Court Loss: "I Prejudiced My Own Case" | Julia Hartley-Brewer

[@NordieJ]

I've just watched a video of an interview with a mother whose son was attacked, stabbed, and left for dead by nine teenagers. They posted the attack on social media. Their sentence was a £50 fine and an apology letter. Hurty words between adults in this case is worth millions, but a vicious attack on a childs life is worth £50. That just doesn't seem right to me.

[@SausageRoll4u]

[@MistralisArracant]

That's because it is wrong to a normal sane person but obviously not in the contorted machinations of the judiciary

[@winstonsmith8240]

@sambaines I believe Laurence submitted a counter-claim because those three called him a racist first. He responded by calling them pdf files. He wasn’t serious - obviously - but was trying to point out that using inappropriate slurs is a bad thing. The ‘racist’ slur has cost Laurence his acting career.

You clearly do not know about the law of defamation or the relevant facts of the case. There were no double standards. Fox failed to discharge a burden of proof that he suffered serious harm. Due to that failure the statements about him are deemed (in accordance with the Defamation Act 2013) to be *not defamatory.* In contrast, 2 of the people Fox accused of being a P.... were able to show that such had caused serious harm to their reputations.

[@peterj2518]

@@robbomax1143 the argument about double standards is interesting, especially in the context of the current lawfare against trump in the US in which trumped up charges are being pushed by activist judges and prosecutors to disbar a politician from standing. In this case, it is clear that the Fox case represents the use of the legal system as lawfare to attack political enemies on trumped up grounds. There are many other instances showing the corruption and politicisation of the justice system. Defending this makes you a disgrace on many grounds, though I very much doubt you care.

[@Baldnesz]

In my experience (a Dad who spent 15 years in English Family Courts trying to get Child Arrangement Orders made and enforced) a similar judicial interpretation as discussed here re racism, also exists in respect of fatherhood. A Dad is not in practice an equal parent and is systematically discriminated against because of how judges interpret words and concepts. A Dad is not in practice given equal rights just as it seems white people are not given equal rights under racism laws and the very definition of the word itself. Mum can ignore Child Arrangement Orders with effectively zero punishment and harm done by mum in alienating the child from Dad and Dad's family is barely considered in favour of imagined harm to the child of having Dad care for them equally etc. If Dad ignores court orders he (and the child) are punished with a lack of contact or standing.

I agree with you one one thing. He's totally il-equipped to deal with the law. But maybe that's why he's in this mess? He's probably ill equipped to talk about lots of things, but he talks anyway. Imagine that in any other walk of life? You get asked about something you don't understand. A smart person says, 'I don't understand that, so I won't comment'. Fox just starts talking. He's put his foot in it about race, gender, women, politics. Surely he can't be an expert in all of these? Of course he's entitled to his personal opinion...just as much as Alan down the pub. But Alan down the pub doesn't have celebrity status, so can probably spout any old rubbish without anyone really caring. I don't agree with anything Fox says, but I appreciate others do. So in that respect, he's like any other person. But...they haven't had their face on millions of televisions. His celebrity status has pulled the rug from under his own feet. If he was a 'nobody,' like most of us, he wouldn't be in this mess. But...he seems to want it both ways. An opinion of his own, but at the same time a large platform from which to voice this, in itself supported by acting and TV. I'm not sure these are compatible.

Laurence Fox is brave, he doesn’t sit down & do nothing. He’s trying to get thing’s right & back into order! We need someone with common decency & sense & brains!

[@robbomax1143]

"brave"?!! Foolish would be a more appropriate word. Wasting £millions in court on a lost cause when he could have settled out of court on day 1 for a fraction of what its cost him.

As a Dutchman I see simular behaviour of the courtsystem in other countries. In the Netherlands as well. I sympathise with Laurence ❤

Fox should have identified as a Lesbian Trans when he went into court.

Thank you Laurence for standing up for the majority of UK residents who haven't got a "Voice" we need more people like Laurence - please keep up the good work

Stay strong Laurence. You are passionate in the way this Country is going and put your career on the line for our freedoms of speech, much respect to you. You are stronger than you think 💪💪💪💪, we need passionate individuals such as yourself. Good for you Julia, for giving Lawrence a platform and giving him a chance to speak. Much respect to you both. 👏

[@coronaclasses1125]

couple of years ago I was involved in a driving incident over a right of way (I was right!! 😂) which lead to a verbal confrontation. Long story short the lady, halfway thru the incident, started to say that she couldn't believe I'd said that. I had no idea what she was referring to, so was not expecting what happened next. she declared she'd rung the police - to which I replied "what do you expect them to do over a right of way dispute?". I drove off, picked up my wife (who had walked the last part of the journey as no progress could be made) and drove back towards home. I should have seen it coming. the lady rang the police, stated I'd racially abused her, and I was arrested. the video recording caught everything APART from that bit. The witnesses saw everything apart from that bit. Of course no charges were brought, but she managed to destroy my day and show her children what a fantastic weapon a false claim of racism can be. the fact that the audio and video recordings, and the witnesses saw nothing , and that my wife and kids are mixed race, counted for nought. she got away with it. and I have no doubt her kids will do the same.

[@MrBritGrit]

Julia and Laurence are birds of a feather...neither would consider the other as racist after agreeing that neither understand what a racist is...but many hold the opinion that both are racist.I would have to hold that opinion when listening to them..

Well done Lawrence . Keep going . Yes if you say anything these days we are racist .

It is the go-to word, but used so often as to lose its meaning completely, even a judge cannot define it.

[@mibo747]

Laurence Fox has the power Of TRUTH

[@Petal4822]

What statue of U.K. law permits a Judge to rule on something she can’t define. Why didn’t the Judge bring in an expert to define it for her?

[@elkpaz560]

Laurence is an artist and the flag protest was brilliant as a piece of art. He knows more about what is at stake and how this movement operates than Julia. He has done nothing 'ill-judged', the new establishment need their villains and will construct them.

[@rakon4251]

For goodness sake, we only need free speech for when we disagree with each other, Laurence is intelligent, passionate and articulate, it's not his fault that he's attacked by brain dead ideologues. If he 'dialled down' his language he'd be taking part in the dumbing down of our discourse and our culture. Stay strong Laurence, we need more men like you speaking truth.

It’s a disconcerting fact that the people of this country can no longer trust any of our Institutions. Not the Government or Parliaments, not the Civil Service, not the Police, not the BBC or MSM, not the Armed Forces, not the Border Force, not the C of E hierarchy, not the education system, not our Local Councils, not even the National Trust or the RNLI, and I’m afraid Laurence, certainly not the judiciary.

[@nicholasgerrish6022]

If voting for Brexit made me a Racist, so be it. I’m in very good company! Actually, since leaving the EU, there are other things which have appeared, which not liking very much, would probably place me even higher on a list of a person with racist views. Again, I’m part of a fast growing number of similarly minded people. Meanwhile, the country is going to the dogs……

[@marieparker3822]

I know next to nothing about the law, but what I am taking from this judgment is, that if you are character-assassinated enough, then you cannot be further slandered, by definition, no matter what you are accused of.

The trans movement IS fascist. He didn't do anything to the gay pride flag. He did it to the TRANS "progress" flag. And it's spot on.

Good for Julia giving Lawrence air time .. I love the fact Julia does pull Lawrence up on some of his short comings and self desructive inclinations.. Two good sticks

More people should be defending Fox. Such courage against so much adversity is commendable to say the least. RESPECT
