UPDATE in comments
British Actor and political activist
Although obscure in N.America, in England his family is considered part of a film industry and acting dynasty. The Fox family is also related to the FOX media family...
He is best-known for appearing in high-profile roles such as DS James Hathaway in the ITV series Lewis, the spin-off detective show from Inspector Morse, which ended in 2015.The 45-year-old also appeared in the 2001 Oscar-winning Gosford Park, a TV film version A Room With A View in 2015, and a 2022 film in which he played Joe Biden's son called My Son Hunter.

So, why am I writing about him? Well I saw this photo on Reddit and thought... Who the F is that? And, why had I not heard of him? This is his story in a nutshell. A story of wealth, snobbery, hubris and most importantly... schadenfreude.
Political activist
slob with no job climbs on monuments to remove political statements
Laurence was already not too popular given his "political activism" in 2020 which pretty much aligns with radicalized nutter and antivaxxer... especially as England and the NHS were overwhelmed with cases. Even Pierce Morgan told him to shut up. https://www.radiox.co.uk/news/tv-film/piers-morgan-laurence-fox-shut-up-tweet-covid/
2020 radicalized him...
because selfish pricks had become all the rage...
Back in November, when Fox was just beginning the promotion cycle for his new album (A Grief Observed, out now), he told the Times that he spent a lot of his free time watching YouTube videos. He said he had been “totally radicalised” by what he had seen and he was setting out on a crusade against woke culture and political correctness.
He is a racist dipshit, equating his racism with a heroic battle for the soul of white Britain. That sounds familiar...
Surprise...
He is also a climate change denier w lacking in reading comprehension and critical thinking skills
Political activist my ass
Meaning there is nothing this privileged a'hole isn't against.
Schadenfreude.
It was FOUR (4) DAYS after the left picture that he caught COVID after bragging he did not need the vaccine that he became the laughing stock he remains today...
Fox calls it wu kung flu day 2.
He tweeted out this...
And of course his dickishness went into overdrive after he recovered...
Fox says now 100 percent immune as he has had COVID,,,
Fox says calling Ivermectin horse dewormer is racist as Africans take it.
He has never felt his white privilege for some reason... How odd that someone born with a silver spoon in his mouth thinks he has never had white privilege!
Speaking of victims... this sounds awfully familiar...
He is a self described expert on propaganda.
Schadenfreude
Fox started his own political party in 2020, but had to change its name as it was already a business incorporated name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reclaim_Party He ran for mayor twice. Luckily he was not beaten by BinFace in 2021 (Fox got 1.9 %), who actually did really well this year.
Here is BinFace making fun of Fox who was ineligible for his second run due to not completing the correct paperwork... Fox's brainworm seems to not have been affected by the Ivermectin. Or COVID has done a number on his brain... https://www.sorryantivaxxer.com/forum/general-discussion/update-1-covid-19-leaves-its-mark-on-the-brain
Schadenfreude
He also plays the guitar and sings and is named Fox... so of course he thinks he has talent... but he's awful.
Schadenfreude Schadenfreude Schadenfreude
He hosted a show on something called GNnews but got fired for being a misogynistic a'hole towards a female journalist while on air.
"GB News had one opportunity and that opportunity was to stand up and defend free speech, which they haven't done," he said."So I think now as they brand themselves the home of free speech, they're actually the home of cancel culture."

The last year has been tough on him... I can't find the context for this as XTwatter timelines are off limits if you are not a member. Found it... Actor Laurence Fox has been arrested on suspicion of conspiring to commit criminal damage to Ulez cameras.
Schadenfreude
If he can't be mayor, no one can! (Especially someone nonwhite)
Schadenfreude.
He is a pompous ass. And this certainly rings true... were he only remotely self aware...
Schadenfreude
When you are a racist, it is best not to take someone to court for calling you that, lest you lose and then are then considered racist as hell! He was losing and had to drop the case.
He meant his brother-in-law... who was actually pissed at his racist remarks.
Schadenfreude.
Laurence Fox counter-sued, and he lost the case
Schadenfreude.
And then, a week later: FOX was arrested in the beginning of May for passing on an illegal photo. it is a crime to do so in England. Even after he was warned it was not only disgusting and illegal, he refused to take it down initially...
Schadenfreude.
Taping yourself being arrested...
I had to sign in 3 times, the forum was inaccessible for awhile, then when I accessed the forum, comments would not come up... so I could not add to yesterday's posts for awhile. I am on a computer and this still happens so I feel sad for those on phones for whom the glitching is even worse. To anyone unable to sign in and like but who view, know that I appreciate the views!
I will try to do more of these in the future as I do have several posts I could make.... but... trying to do searches as a Canadian is severely hampered by new legislation and the media companies backlash. They will have to wait for long rainy days... (Posts can take 1 to 4 hours depending on the day and the site cooperating and that is a lot even for this old retired gal)
Update
A single Brexit loving benefactor financed the Reclaim party. I hate to ask what that figure on his bus was meant to represent. Its hindquarters of course had Laurence's face on it which is fitting. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jun/03/laurence-foxs-political-party-received-almost-same-donations-as-lib-dems
He is also an a'hole. After being besieged by the internet deeming him an ignorant racist, Fox said he was not a historian... and only apologized after relentless mocking .
I didn't add this to the original post as I wanted to research a bit more. It seems that a year after having COVID, Laurence had some nerve pain that he says was mighty severe. So bad that he had to have an operation ...
Although he blames a bad dream for it, (seriously) methinks he had a second bout of COVID with related psychotic symptoms of delusions and hallucinations.
Nerve damage is another symptom of COVID... and long COVID. Even mild cases.
So um, in his honour I give you... a fitting meme.
A racist POS interviews another POS... Laurence Fox. Only watch if you want to hear a British MAGA repeating the same shit MAGAs do. Instead of watching his drivel, you may prefer to read an opinion piece below which pretty well cover all of the ground I missed. *
*Laurence Fox is a tragic little man – my two-year-old behaves better

Thanks for posting I am aware of this dickhead. He comes from a heavyweight acting dynasty in fact his father James Fox is in one of my all-time favourite movies Remains Of The Day. He was married to actress Billie Piper and when they broke up he went steadily downhill exacerbated by covid lockdowns. The divorced dad thing may explain his gross misogyny. He has dedicated his life to being an asshole in as many different ways possible. He thinks he's a rebel and a free man but he's a sad self destructive fool.
Brits are always so bad at every single thing ever, thinking for themselves is out of the question, this clown found his home on the right wing side of the web. Hope he dies tbh!
Great journalistic work. Maga nonsense from a Brit who should know better. Attention deficit disorder has cost him a lot of money it seems 😆
Thanks so much! Very interesting. I was shocked when I heard about his right-wing activism since I knew him from the show Lewis. (Which was pale, pale compared to the first show 'Morse'.)
Big Pharma....
I thought I was reading his obit at first. 🤣
I'll bet his precious ego couldn't handle being married then dumped by the legend that is Billie 'Rose Taylor' Piper. He looks like crap too post Covid. Not that his showbiz career will suffer, it's already dead.
But that lovely British accent just cancels it all out for us Yankees.
They can be just some yob from the alley, but but...
Shakespeare! Royalty! History!
;-)
(Thanks for the post BTW. Love this shite. )
