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

  • In an exclusive interview with Julia Hartley-Brewer on TalkTV, Laurence Fox tells viewers he prejudiced his own case by saying he thought "it's absolutely fine for someone to hold an opinion that somebody is racist."
    Laurence Fox has said he hopes to appeal after losing a High Court libel battle with two people he referred to as paedophiles on social media.
    The actor-turned-politician was sued by former Stonewall trustee Simon Blake and drag artist Crystal over a row on Twitter, now known as X, in October 2020.
    Mr Fox called Mr Blake and the former RuPaul’s Drag Race contestant, whose real name is Colin Seymour, “paedophiles” in an exchange about a decision by Sainsbury’s to mark Black History Month.
    The Reclaim Party founder - who said at the time that he would boycott the supermarket - counter-sued the pair and broadcaster Nicola Thorp over tweets accusing him of racism.
    In a judgment on Monday, Mrs Justice Collins Rice ruled in favour of Mr Blake and Mr Seymour, dismissing Mr Fox’s counter-claims.
    She said: “Mr Fox’s labelling of Mr Blake and Mr Seymour as paedophiles was, on the evidence, probabilities and facts of this case, seriously harmful, defamatory and baseless.
    “The law affords few defences to defamation of this sort.
    “Mr Fox did not attempt to show these allegations were true, and he was not able to bring himself on the facts within the terms of any other defence recognised in law.”
    However, Mrs Justice Collins Rice did not make a ruling on whether describing Mr Fox as “a racist” is “substantially true”, after finding the three tweets in his counter-claim were unlikely to cause serious harm to his reputation.

    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.

    This judgement was total BS! My brother lost his franchise company three years ago because he had seen a Facepoop post with idiots destroying statues and throwing them into the harbour. He commented that he thought they were savages. A so-called journalist picked it up and accused him, on the front page of the local paper, of being a racist, so the company called him in, said he had brought the company into disrepute and forced him out!

      What do you mean 'normal'. I'm white, working class British. I'd describe myself as 'normal' too. Yet I also think Fox is an absolute fool who is pretty much wrong about everything.
      So how do you define 'normal'? Are you saying the only way to be 'normal' is to agree with people like you and Fox?
      For me, 'normal' is believing the judicial system is probably more robust than the views of an actor who has got into a world he doesn't understand.

    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.

    Lawrence's heart is bang in the right place.
    He's not from a background that equips one to dodge the pitfalls of the law and legal system so he will have a rough time.
    Our legal system isn't fair - it's fundamentally discriminatory towards whites, men and Christians. It is this way because those groups are considered to be the majority and the Courts and Police have long since abandoned the notion of 'without favour' for 'we have to keep the mob in check and can't hold minorities to the same standards of law'.
    Basically the law has two tracks now. Total betrayal of the British people and our way of life.

      I seem to recall he was kicked out of school at some point. Maybe he's aleays had a self destructive streak?
      He's from a comfortable background. He was a decent and respected actor. Some people would have given their left arm to have some of his good fortune and celebrity. He decided to piss it all down the drain by getting involved in politcal stuff.

Lawrence is taking a hit for the rest of us. We need more people to stick their size nines in and make a fuss. Making a few slightly contentious remarks on the radio, being careful not to ruffle any feathers isnt working.

They develop when a person has an exaggerated or unrealistic sense of danger about a situation or object. If a phobia becomes very severe, a person may organise their life around avoiding the thing that's causing them anxiety. A phobia is a type of anxiety disorder. You may not experience any symptoms until you come into contact with the source of your phobia.

      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.

      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.

    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.
