[@DellaStreet123]

Many celebrity entertainers started to spin out of control during corona. I wondered why it was bothering so much, after all they are wealthy and can take off a year or two. I felt sorry for ordinary people, business owners who couldn't just "do home office" instead of opening their stores. I was worried about myself, too. In addition to the pandemic and the lockdown, my landlord had kicked me out, even though I was still paying rent. And celebrity entertainers acted like they had it hard. Hello...? And then they started to spread their own truths on social media, claiming that covid was just a common cold, that it kills only people who would have died anyway and aligned with people who go farther than that by saying that masks can kill you and that vaccines are made from dead babies. Hello, I thought, what makes these people think they know better than ordinary people? Being an actor or a musician does not make you a medical professional, never mind a virologist. Then it dawned to me that they were against mandates because they prevented them from living their own narcissism. They desperately wanted to appear in public, but not because they needed the money but because it is a way for them to indulge their narcissism. If you are used to performing at large venues, in front of thousands of people who love and adore you, it must be hard to give that up.

[@jackyf3505]

This video is very misleading, ostensibly about Fox but mostly trying to set up a criticism of him by using arguments about Katie Hopkins. You use some vague descriptions about 'something bad' he may have said on Question Time linked with a clip of a nondescript music album as though that had any relevance, let alone indication of the right or wrong of his unspoken opinions. If you could show an un-illuminating reaction clip of the programme you could have shown what he actually said or at least given some direct quotes. I was only vaguely aware of some 'woke/anti-woke chatter' involving his appearance but nothing more and was curious to hear what else might have been behind it. I'm widely considered left leaning by those who know me so my dismay isn't based on politics but this example undermines all your videos for me from now on I'm afraid. Journalistic standards matter...if you want anyone of good conscience to consider you as a valid source of information.

[@caahacky]

On question time Fox's "crime" was to say that the press hounding of Meghan Markle wasn't racist ( was as the press hounding of Lady Di racist?). Not seen him express any hate whatsoever apart from defending the right of a white man to have an opinion - bad enough I suppose....

[@jackyf3505]

@@caahacky from what I've now learned from watching some of his actual output since seeing this video, he has a huge focus on language, not surprisingly as an actor. That does make me wonder if he sticks firmly with the term actress rather than actor for everyone as many female actors certainly seem to prefer. Personally I haven't followed the Press haranguing of Megan Markle but I suspect there's a generous mix of misogyny and racism topped off with an instinctive love of baiting all mixed up in there.

You’ve made some claims in the video that need backing up with evidence. Anyone can view Laurence Fox’s appearance on Question Time “Ill-advised remarks about race” does not equal racism, as you seem to suggest. And “ill-advised” or not, that’s someone exercising their freedom of speech, and his remarks are certainly not even about “race” per-se. There’s no evidence whatsoever of Fox being racist, quite the contrary. Some of Hopkins stupid remarks are less defensible of course. But these are remarks, open to debate, and as a result fairly easy to shoot down both intellectually and morally. You can’t have any debate though, if you cancel and exclude the participants in the debate The “truth” you’ve projected onto these people, (Laurence Fox for example is Mr Midlife Crisis “failed”, man, Hopkins consciously “decided” on a career move .)

He seems to be rather lacking in education and logic. I'm not sure that he fully understands his own thoughts. Hopkins, on the other hand is very direct - she seems to revel in the outrageous - her 'performances' seem disingenuous. I think she simply enjoys causing offence.

[@mogznwaz]

I have no issue with Katie Hopkins, Laurence Fox or anyone else deemed 'controversial'. They're entitled to their opinions, sometimes they actually have a point and they say things that need to be said. We need people like that. I really don't understand why people get so hysterical about things other people say, people need to grow a backbone. The idea that Kate Hopkins or Laurence Fox 'created hate' or said anything that outrageous is ludicrous. The term 'microaggression' says a lot about the ridiculous nature of looking for offence. However small. It's also rather pathetic to slag off Fox's music - talk about playing the player instead of the ball. A great many people in the country agree with Laurence - people are sick to death of identity politics, faux outrage, profitable and exaggerated victimhood. You, I'm afraid, are part of the problem not the solution. Try watching Trevor Philips' interview on Triggernometry this week.

[@davidcoxall3270]

I agree entirely with this statement. People don't have to agree with everything which Katie and Laurence say, however I would reckon that around 60 to 70% of the British population are for example sickened and dismayed at the level of immigration that has gone on since 1997. Sadly in Britain today, people do not have a platform to articulate their views, and even if they did, they would be shouted down and intiminated at every opportunity Therefore at least Kopkins and Fox are willing to put theirs heads above the parapet and say what they think. There should be a debate of reason about these issues but of course that never happens. Let us hope that the public at large gain some strength of character and speak out on matters that affect this country and let us remember that change for the better never came on the backs of cowards.

The reason why I don’t agree with your take on all this. You don’t take into account the lies,misinformation,propoganda,politically motivated bias to put it kindly spewed out from the media.

[@sdrawkcabUK]

So the two main 'poli-tainers' of recent years are (right-wing) Katie Hopkins and (centrist/centre-right) Lawrence Fox (cue scary sound effects)? And not the far more influential left-wing Lily Allen, Stomzy, Lady Gaga, Steve Coogan, Hugh Grant etc etc.? Is 'poli-tainment' only a negative force when it's done by people you disagree with? Also, how is Fox in any way comparable to Hopkins, and when has he uttered 'hate' as you put it? Hopkins has made a long stream of mean-spirited offensive remarks. All Fox stated on QT was that he didn't think Meghan Markle was disliked due to her race, and that he didn't think white people should be dismissed from discussions on racism purely by virtue of their skin colour. He later stated that he thought the lone Sikh solider in '1917' was tokenistic, and a better (and more historically accurate) approach would have been to include a full Sikh platoon. You see, when patronising mainstream journalists such as yourself seek to besmirch anyone holding differing views as being hate-filled right-wing bigots, and dismiss anyone with legitimate concerns about things such as aggressive identity politics or cancel culture, your actually pushing people away from your message and in fact bolster and give credence to those very view points.
