Nick Ferrari challenges Laurence Fox over Black History Month and safe spaces | LBC

- "I just think that safe spaces are essentially kind of promoting segregation, and I think it's backwards."
Laurence Fox tells LBC why he decided to boycott a supermarket chain over Black History Month.
Speaking to LBC's Nick Ferrari actor and leader of the Reclaim Party Laurence Fox said he thought people were scared to speak because of fears over a PC culture.
He said British values were "the things you learn around the dinner table when you're a child," actor cited "robust argument, the ability to disagree and remain friends, politeness, fairness, these sorts of things."
When Nick asked "where have they gone then?" Mr Fox said he felt "people are scared to speak at the moment for fear of the repercussions that will happen if they say the wrong thing."
He told LBC people were afraid of being "cancelled."
When asked to point to examples of that Mr Fox said he was an example, "that lovely welder in Burnley, there are hundreds."
When asked which welder he was referring to Mr Fox said: "He was the one who did the white lives matter banner over the stadium."
This led to Nick asking the actor why he has " a problem with Sainsbury's marking Black History Month."
"I don't at all," was the instant reply but he said it "would be interesting if there was also Jewish history month and Muslim history month."
He said his "issue" with the supermarket was "that they were saying they were creating safe spaces for their black employees."
He said this "doesn't take too much mental gymnastics to think that might be sort of promoting segregation in a way."
"Seeing as this country is tolerant and becoming more tolerant, I don't know why it assumes that you may not be safe around white people."
When Nick Ferrari challenged him pointing out "neither of us are black, we don't know what it's like," Mr Fox said " all we can go in is the polling on these things."
Nick asked if those people feel like they need a safe space then "is it wrong for a supermarket to facilitate that?"
"I just think that safe spaces are essentially kind of promoting segregation, and I think it's backwards and we want to look forwards."

The Talksport arm is very leftie but fingers crossed Talk Radio doesn't go the same way.

Well said!👍
Is nick also woke?

Ferrari is an idiot, that's why.

How has Laurence been cancelled? He has formed a new political party, has recently made music, has a new movie out, is constantly on the radio and in newspapers. He is also on ITV3 every day in Lewis. I would love to know what he would be doing if he was "un-cancelled".

Fox is way too clever to fall into the LBC trap. He's calm and answers their questions because he knows his subject. I've a mind to join his party!
Agreed he takes a moment and then answers. I would have voted for the raving loony party rather than conservative or labour had his party not come along
What LBC trap is he expected to fall into?
He thinks a safe space is segregation. Definitely a genius 😅
Ferrari was doing the job of a right wing interviewer. Giving Fox an easy ride, like a job interview, but with leading question to allow the interviewee to shine and speak to his potential voters. Yet remarkably Ferrari is getting slated for allowing the man a platform and even feeding him the answers, like reminding him of Nelson.
@@stevem7899 It shows how thin skinned some people are... If Ferarri gave Laurence any more softballs he may as well have been his dad helping him on his first interview
Lost a little bit more faith in you nick. Happening more and more often im afraid
Go over to talk radio
Alexander Harvey, I think after Nigel Farage being sacked he’s decided to play by the company line. I was an avid listener to the station - but have left LBC- it’s talk radio for me now.
Maybe, but I think he did right by Laurence asking those questions. He didn’t talk over him, and though loaded, those questions got to the heart of the matter and gave Laurence the opportunity to put his view out on this things clearly and forcefully.
@@ReginaldArthurWolfe - Quite so. And at risk of playing devil‘s advocate on behalf of Nick, perhaps he was himself playing devil‘s advocate. There is no point in an interview if you don’t occasionally ask what could be regarded as uncomfortable questions, and those he did ask, Lawrence’s answers were sensible, clear and dignified.
Alexander Harvey He's one of those Lefty Lovies. I stopped listening to him years ago. Swapped to Talk Radio.
Lawrence for Prime minister
He's right people can't say their opinion anymore.
Black people white people all the same.
Not all cultures are equal.
You just said your opinion
Well done Sherlock, and no thanks I'll rather have trump.
@@hannamontana3 I wasn't talking about USA
"People are being silenced" and at the same time "I have a problem with spaces where people can speak freely and are not silenced"
Err....nice try, even adding quotation marks etc. but he literally said nothing of the sort i.e. that he had a problem with spaces where people can speak freely.
@@JohnSmith-it6hj Those two statements are absolutely incompatible. The difference is that you ask for the safespace to make mistakes but deny safespaces for people to share how their are affected by your mistake. Brother, try learning and growing instead of crying for safespaces for your mistakes.
"Safe spaces" are exactly the opposite of "spaces where people can speak freely and are not silenced". They are exactly spaces where people are not allowed to speak freely and are silenced. Why are you lying about that?
They are as "safe" as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is democratic (or a people's republic or a republic in general).
The fact that Fox's appearance on QT has has now been branded "one of the most controversial appearances" etc etc, for saying a few common sense things that upset the hyper sensitive woke brigade, just shows how mental it's all become.
power of suggestion you are led to believe its controversial
@Natty Bumppo I'm left-wing, but not woke. I agree with much of what Fox says.
Common sense was consigned to the history books a long time ago 😟
@The Macallan Yes.
I agree, I watched that show and failed to see anything remotely resembling controversy, the reason Laurence Fox is seen as some to be controversial is because he doesn't spout the usual woke, luvvie, lecturing drivel that many in his line of work seem to do
Top man Laurence. Wokeness everywhere
Define wokeness.
@Tim Donovan
So anything that isn't toxic masculinity.
@Tim Donovan It's a Manchester United reference you clown. So, again, define wokeness.
@Tim Donovan That's what I thought.
@@zlatans.manbun8269 its funny they vanish when you ask for evidence/proof/explanations.
Well done Laurence you speak for common sense, all lives matter, we have had enough of woke.
All lives don't have the same experiences in society, which is why when black lives matter started it was to highlight the inequality in society, or would you make the moronic claim that black people and white people have the same equality in society? Would you also agree that children in multi-million-pound homes in Holland Park will have the same experience as children from high rise council flats in Glasgow too?
BLM claimed that black people are subject to police brutality far more often than other races:a totally unfounded claim. The stats actually show that white and hispanic people are more likely to be killed unarmed. It's just a false narrative to create racial division. They also wish to create division on gender too. It was on their website for months till they realised it was giving them bad press and they removed it. There is no White priveledge, there is no institutionalised racism. It's all a lie. If BLM cared about black lives they would mention the 7000 black on black murders in the USA but they don't because they only want to talk about the single digit incidents where a white cop kills a black man. George Floyd died of a drug's overdose too.
Misky: well said.
@@MiskyMBA so your point is exactly?
@@MiskyMBA stating the bleeding obvious of course people have different experiences there are rich White people there are rich Back people , poor White people and poor Black people so by your thinking BLM is ok Then Wlm or Alm should be ok.

That is so refreshing. Well done. I'm White but since the BLM I've been looking at Black people and. White people where as before I just saw people. No colour no different. All equall. Still equall but of colour. Hope that makes sense.

He is not that fabulous. He believes only the British have values to be upheld. I mean I thought most families regardless of background sat and ate together and discussed things.
I would vote for Mr Fox after that performance.
You do that. I will carry on arguing for the right of your children to obtain a diversity of historical views, not just the whitewash you were fed and swallowed.

@@grrr.9998 why is buying a poppy an issue? It simply reflects all those lost in all wars.
Of course they know it's dishonest but they just love retrospective morality. It's probably one of the weakest arguments and only used by imbeciles.
They know it is absurd . They simply get away with it because no one objects to it. How come they can have anti-foreigner political candidates and parties in France or Germany's or Holland , but not in English-speaking countries.
As a black man in Britain, I agree with Laurence. It’s all about conversation. A lot of these things (like the safe space referenced) are business speak type of stop gaps. They don’t help anything. And no black person is using them ffs. We all need to just talk and understand each other. Truthfully understand. Not coming in with stats about crime and IQs and all that nonsense people like to spout.
Saying you are a black man is irrelevant unless you class the black diaspora to be identical. All this is nonsense 😂

‘How is our culture under threat?’....’err, how long have you got?’
@Steve Bining
Bet it starts with "immigration"
Freedom of speech for a start
@@Mac-dx4rd your freedom of speech isn't at threat...hence why he is allowed to speak openly on LBC or how you are allowed to go on RUclips and state you fear for freedom of speech or how I can say I think that is a completely misguided viewpoint.
Freedom of speech though is different to being given permission to just openly insult people (which I don't think he did in this interview) that is the only time "freedom of speech" becomes an issue.
@@dannyvickery7605 Who gets to decide what's insulting and what's bonafide critique? Who grants the "permission" that you speak of?
@El Stormbringer no it’s erasing our history and even changing it whilst ignoring other history from other places and you said it yourself if freedom to think what you want is getting stamped out that says it all
"But do we know what it's like being black and working at asda?"
The same as for the other staff of asda I should imagine. As with 'safe spaces', its called the smoking area behind the recycling bins, just like it is for all of the asda staff
It's ok to be asda staff without having to be black about it
'...I should imagine...' So you don't know then?
Well said Ken!👏
@Orson Cart 'the likes of' me? Lol, mate by day I maintain a huge a victorian green house and surrounding gardens, by night I'm generally a pretty reclusive person so there's plenty of parties going on without me already lol

Enjoy your days forming long winded comments aimed at a world based purely on your own assumptions lad
Bloke from ASDA Wakefield got fired for sharing a Billy Connolly skit on Facebook. Critique of religion. Guess which religious group complained?
Though his point was that if you're not black you wouldn't know, so don't "imagine" when you could just ask.
He's arguing for Black people not to be able to speak on the racism they suffered or how they are still effected by the systemic racisms that still exist today, while simultaneously claiming that he's arguing for the Right of free speech.
You can't make this stuff up.
Lawrence is a legend! helping bring different cultures together, instead of brain washing other races into believing they have to be victims in our great country
We are being segregated by a woke agenda ❓the majority of British people just get on but we seem to have a certain section of this country that's wants to start a racial division,‼️

@Chris Gipson As is his reasoning.
It’s very typical that when Englishmen talk about ‘British’ culture they’re talking about English culture.
I’m English and when I say British I don’t mean English. I actually think we should put an emphasis on British culture, but also put a great emphasis on national culture. The Irish should have a greater understanding of Irish culture, the English about English culture, Scots theirs and the same with the Welsh. And then educate each other on their respective cultures and histories. The Scottish are not English, and are very proud of that(as they should be) and the English are not Scottish and should be proud of that. That doesn’t mean they have to hate each other or anything.
I wonder what is English culture as opposed to history
Is it different from Scottish
Culture
@@joedias7946 yes
@@joedias7946 as a scot, I can confirm the English have a very different world view than us, the Irish or Welsh. Partly due to history. They were the conquerors , the ones who oppressed. We were the oppressed. That creates a different psyche in a population. It has cemented a particular world view in Jewish people, for example.
Whether they realise it or not the English exude an arrogance, a sense of superiority and entitlement that you just don't see in the celtic nations.
Its diluted now, as people move about much more but there is still that core upper class elitism at play in England....Boris, Cameron. Osborne etc.
Don't tell me they don't feel innately superior to the rest of us.
The scots are guilty of perpetuating this attitude ourselves. We expect to lose, do badly, despite having contributed hugely in science and inventions over the years.
I could go on and on....but the answer is yes, haha
Not all your history is from the Angles
“Let’s not talk about all the money made from chattel slavery and how that continues to influence the world today; let’s just fast forward to when the Brits decided they didn’t need slaves anymore so it was a bad thing.” So, the only portions of history Fox wants to talk about are those instances where “his culture” comes out smelling like a rose and just ignore all the unpleasant bits. Gotcha.
no culture is free from criticism that's plain silly thinking, i don't think anyone suddenly decided slaves weren't needed or it wouldn't still be going on now
My colour doesn't define me,it's just incidental.

It's interesting to see how many people below have quoted Lawrence Fox's sentiment about British values which include, engaging in "robust argument, the ability to disagree and remain friends, politeness, fairness" and then go on to criticise Nick Ferrari for doing just that.
Of course the right criticise everyone and then don’t follow there own advise, blame everyone else and take no responsibility but tell everyone else they should.

For a man who has admitted in a previous occasion that he is ignorant of history , Laurence Fox seemed pretty knowledgeable about how to reclaim British culture without specifying who threatens British culture.
When he is honest enough to admit that he is ignorant of history .
Perhaps he is ignorant about who destroys British culture
But you are ignorant of History, would you denigrate Spanish or French history and culture the same way?
Mr Fox has my vote for sure! I like his composure and the relaxed manner in which he delivers his message on meaningful topics!
Are you so deluded ?!?!
Safe spaces, a term loaded with political and sociological teleology. The effort behind this is to make it appear as though every other space in society is always unsafe. This is designed to be divisive and exclusionary. It’s dangerously tendentious. I’d like to be able to say it’s just errant nonsense or twaddle, but given its traction and increasing adoption in many parts of society, I think it’s far more insidious than that.
And statues dedicated to men who got rich buying and selling people of your ethnicity would make you feel welcomed? That wouldn't be divisive in any way?
You really can't see the hypocrisy in what you've just said?

Without Nigel Farage LBC is garbage.
'Revisionist history' i.e. that awkward bit of our history we don't like to talk about or publish in our school textbooks
There's the irony when people ask who started slavery that is always shut down
Exactly!
I never understood that term. Revisions aren't a scary or evil thing. To the contary, revisions are a vital part of editing, and in the context of looking at history, they are just as crucial. We all know the saying "history is written by the victors," and that's why it's so important to go back and look at the facts without the rose-tinted spectacles of victory and revise the written histories to reflect the objective truth of past events. The only people who are scared of that process are those who fear they stand to lose something to it- chiefly pride, whether that be personal or nationalistic, but we can't all keep our heads in the sand just to protect the egos of a few people who don't want to admit that their ancestors might have done terrible things.

I grew up in South Africa in the 80`s and i`ve seen more segregation in the U.K than I ever did over there...Moss Side would be a perfect example...
Yesss
It’s only due to inequality; housing, jobs, education. People generally believe they tend to be safer within their own communities , however in such areas there is serious crimes!

If there's one thing I wanted to study at school it was British history but it wasn't even a choice. I had to study Aborigines and Red Indians which with respect wasn't what I wanted.
Where did you go to school??? Ours was battle of Hastings Henry the 8th and then Romans and Vikings. Would have loved to study Native Americans a bit and give myself a dream name like sickofdrawingcowboys
Your lying, for one they wouldn't have called them red indians, then again white man speak with fork tongue, as the native people say.
Well said Mr fox, what a calm and articulated gentleman you are. We have a history like every other country in this world, why on earth should we be again be threatened too obliviate our history to accommodate BLM who should get over themselves. They definitely have got a chip on their shoulder, our history is what we are, every country has a history, it doesn't matter what colour you are you, you come to this country then you live by our rules, if these people want to cause hatred and stir up strife then let's round them up and see if they would like it living in other countries, then they can see what hardship is. Mr fox you've got to start by running as an MP and get Nigel Farage on board, because we have to have a government that wants to bring Britain back to where we don't have so much violence, drugs, illegal immigrants! and talking illegal immigrants why are they here and what are they for we are overpopulated as it is, so why is the government allowing these people to come in. Mr Fox please ask the question to the government why are these illegal immigrants over here and been allowed to stay, what is there uses why are they here. They are not required. The obsolete industrial buildings that have been left to go to rack and ruin rebuilding them, let's get back our industry in this country, where men and women can look to the future so that our industry and this country can thrive. Peace to all 🤗🙏🌞
110% agree we are all scared of opening our mouth and that is sad and worrying Times change for better or worse but history happened if we like it or not !!!! What we should do is open up
debate and try to understand allour concerns be you black or white etc etc Understanding can only come from allowing all to say what they feel without restriction or anger !!!
100% with Mr Fox he gets my vote hands down.
I used to listen to Nick Ferrari, his tone of questioning there showed maybe why I’ve stopped listening. What great, polite responses from Laurence Fox. Maybe LBC have a metaphorical gun to Ferrari’s head since they shown that the sack James Whale, Katie Hopkins and Nigel Farage.
All about Talk Radio ladies and Gents!!!!!
Very thin skinned. He’s playing devils advocate.
@@MorganHayes_Composer.PianistI’m sorry but I re-watched it and I maintain the same view. I’ve heard Nick Ferrari’s interviews many times before and where he plays devils advocate he uses the phrase “I appreciate what you’re saying, but some would say.....”.
He didn’t do that, it was quite aggressive right from the start. He can’t afford the left wing producers firing him from a prime time breakfast show now can he.
and kept that awful man JOB...!
I am black and I shop in Sainsbury’s and I have never felt unsafe . But now Sainsbury’s themselves have said they need to make it safer for me , I probably won’t shop at Sainsbury’s. I mean who knows what will happen to me when black history month ends ?????
😂
The question shouldn’t be whether we all know what it’s like being black, it should be if we all know what it’s like being human. The answer is yes
Everyone suffers prejudice of some kind. Yes even posh people (I don't think they have things too bad but they get tons of abuse!). Human beings are wired that way. The best we can do is take the rough edges off that instinct and encourage people to judge as individuals not groups. That is why Martin Luther King was my hero and I've always tried to see people as individuals first. Western civilisation is the most progressive and least prejudiced that has ever existed yet these morons are acting as if it's the worst. They really need to take their blinkers off!!!!

Honest, straight forward answers to straightforward, cutting questions.....he’ll never make a politician.
Ferrari has certainly changed his tune,amazing what working for a lefty radio station makes you Do
His job is to challenge people on their views and test their robustness, whoever they are. Demanding fawning sycophancy from journalists and presenters to your point of view is troublingly authoritarian.

A lefty radio station, this aint no lefty radio station, is a far right wing station.
Gosh, why are safe spaces needed? Segregation is going backwards & too many people died to end segregation
What if you're half black half white where do you go ?
It's only segregation if it's forced or enshrined in law. If its not, its a choice. Thought you people liked choices!
@@tartytube direct discrimination - treating someone with a protected(race) characteristic less favourably than others . I.e treating one race different to another.
So it may not be segregation but is it discrimination ?
@@tartytube people fought for it to not be enshrined in law or to be a part of everyday parlance. If people or communities choose not to mix with others that's their choice. I think you've misunderstood what's been said or I've expressed myself poorly which is possible. Some people just want to be a person & don't need to be a part of a collective identity because they feel that their identity as an individual is enough. Also, there's no excuse on this earth to justify racial slurs being used against someone just because a person doesn't think the way you do.
What a shame I used to really like Nick, we all have to stop being so scared to speak out. You are hiding Nick - so sad.

With even the smallest examination of the things Fox and his followers believe, it all falls apart.

Great Stuff Lawrence
Spot on, he'd get my vote.
The new party needs to combine people like Nigel Farage, Anne Marie Waters, TommyRobinson and others. All patriotic people who have a grasp of what is currently happening to destroy civilised democracy.
No not at all farage and Robinson are controlled opposition and waters I’m not sure about yet either way
Brilliant. It would get a lot of support from citizens if our heroes would join together but I fear they would not at this time.
And not reflect the make up of this society as you would like it.
John Parkin: You think Farage is patriotic? You have seriously misunderstood his message and his actions.
I think Fox is ridiculous, but I have to say, you have misunderstood his message too.
Digging up the past in order to be a victim. I want my apology from the modern day Vikings, Normans, Romans, Saxons ..
Spot on , next they will be telling us we all originate from Africa
"Safe spaces" What a load of absolute B.S
Famous white actor, sitting in a studio being interviewed by a national radio station, with the full interview being uploaded to RUclips, website and social media complaining his opinions aren't heard.
Poor man❄
It's the opinions of millions of others that aren't being heard. Is his whiteness the problem?
Ferrari is transparent at least.
'Actor' is stretching it a bit. Foxxy is a tool, a pointless attention seeking tool.
The past is there as a tool, used to learn from and to prevent mankind from repeating catastrophic mistakes.
To try and insinuate that Britain had a positive impact on slavery because of William Wilberforce is insulting and completely ignorant of the past.
I am a white British citizen and I completely support black history month...with so many black British citizens, it is a part of our history worth remembering after all.
Who sold the blacks to us? Other blacks. Whites aren't wholly responsible for. Slavery
Positive impact? we were the first country to actively close it down, and FYI we didn't invent slavery....or have you revisioned that bit as well?
I'm voting Lawrence Fox... Make no mistake.... 😂

Black history month is all about revising history
Evidence please
How much of this is about the 'past' and how much of this is about dismantling our culture? We aren't bits of machinery that can be 'dismantled' and 're-configured' in an entirely different way. Human psychology simply isn't organised in that way. Laurence's defence mechanisms are reasoned, others won't be.
How well you put it, thanks
Do we blame the Italians for the Romans oppressing us for years, no. Or the Scandinavions for the Vikings doing the same thing, no. Every history programme i have ever seen celebrates what they brought to us and how things actually improved for their presence. History is to learned from, not to be used to beat people with.
@@anthonyfieldhouse9691 And that's why English people love Germany as well isn't it? And the French. It's all forgiven.
Nobody loves Germany, England is on thousand years older than Germany. Britain has nothing to do with Germany
It's all about destroying our culture and Western Civilization!
He’s absolutely right , fair play. Mate
The BBC needs to be sorted out
Ferrari was so upset that he wasn't scoring any points.
Well down Laurence - everything he says is 100% on the mark !!
What a bad interviewer Nick is, what daft questions he asks, he’s not even bothered if they make sense, he just takes the extreme opposite view even if the question ends up being silly...”what if black people feel they need a safe place from white people” I can’t believe that is the level of LBC no wonder it’s way behind Talkradio, last clip I’ll be watching from LBC thanks Nick.
A journalist's role is to challenge and investigate the opinion of others. Nick did a fine job here.
Sounds like this fella wants to pretend the past never happened and that everything British is rosy.
I'm an irishman, if they come for Nelson I'm gonna fly over and fight these people with you
Being black is the same as being white, but with darker skin. The tacit implication that black people shouldn't feel safe around people that don't share their skin tones is ludicrous.
neatly put!
@Sean G and that has something to do with promoting racial segregation for "safety", because....?
@Sean G it's not a false statement. Race is based on arbitrary physical characteristics that can be objectively measured by all observers.

Ferrari lost all credibility in my view when he became a vaccination zealot and slated anyone who refused the jab
Yeah but he’s very unhealthy and has been for decades. He realises that non elderly obese people are the ones who are most likely to die from covid. Even if the chance is very low, it’s way higher than that of a healthy person his age. Self preservation. Also has a mini dictator side to him in my opinion, anytime I’ve seen him on tv etc. Same with the young, fat posh guy from the apprentice. Resembled a hamster. He was identical in his covid jab views as mr Ferrari.
When did Ferrari turn into a clapped out Skoda? Well done Laurence.
Every race owned or were slaves,
Do the research.
I'm probably what many of you would call a woke lefty (I call myself left-leaning central)- but Fox has me more intrigued with this opinion than Farage, Robinson or any Tory leader has done over the last 20 years
Not to say I'll vote for him just yet, but I'm not ruling him out
The right tend to separate 'lefty' from 'liberal'. If you want higher taxes and larger government, you're a liberal. If you think the whole system is founded in racism, that white people have inherent privileges simply because of the colour of their skin and that racial segregation wrapped up in nice-talk "safe spaces" is valid, you're a lefty
Laurence is speaking for the vast majority in this country
Mr Fox , someone who talks common sense 👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lawrence needs educating that being black is not a religion, so saying that "it would be interesting if Sainsbury's marked a Muslim or Jewish History month" is completely irrelevant. Still, as long as a white man speaks in a posh accent, everyone just listens
Freedom to speak about slavery, misogyny, worker exploitation.
