[Nicky91]

was bound to happen but luckily for him now only a temporary ban

[Alf]

So they proved his point. The powers that be silenced him for his opinion like any facist would. Had he have done the same thing with the Union flag he wouldn't have been silenced.

[The Slim Reaper]

I agree Alf. Can't wait to hear how he's been silenced as he appears on tv, in print, and on radio over the coming days.

[The Slim Reaper]

One brave man with the balls to stand against minorities...

I am Laurence.

[The Slim Reaper]

On this occasion he was silenced on twitter for the weekend. That's what it says in the OP.

So he hasn't been silenced at all, just given a temp ban on twitter?

Oh, thank god

https://media1.giphy.com/media/l0Iy69RBwtdmvwkIo/giphy.gifOk, he was banned for his opinion. Still an act that goes against free speech.

[The Slim Reaper]

Ok, he was banned for his opinion. Still an act that goes against free speech.

Why? He used his free speech to the best of his ability.

[Alf]

Why? He used his free speech to the est of his ability.But it proves the point he's making that authoritarian action will be taken against anyone with an opinion on that flag that's not a conformist opinion. .

[Beso]

They will be coming for the gay Hindus next.

[Glenn.]

Wow he’s edgy

[The Slim Reaper]

But it proves the point he's making that authoritarian action will be taken against anyone with an opinion on that flag that doesn't conform.

So what danger do you think he in for not conforming? Authoritarians throughout history are far more likely to align with him than any gender or sexuality groups.

[Crimson Dynamo]

One imagines that its no so much about Twitter banning him

More them reacting to multiple reportings from Twitter users

[Alf]

So what danger do you think he in for not conforming? Authoritarians throughout history are far more likely to align with him than any gender or sexuality groups.Who knows? There's some crazy people in the World.

[The Slim Reaper]

Who knows? There's some crazy people in the World.

I agree, but do you think going out of his way to antagonise folks with minimal power in society, and many of them just searching for acceptance of their existence, is really how a person with a national platform needs to get his rocks off?

It's all a way to rile folks up, and make some quick cash through media appearances anyway, so he's rubbing his hands together rather than cowering behind the sofa.

[user104658]

The ban is more likely for posting a swastika than for messing about with the One Flag to be honest.

[Alf]

It's all a way to rile folks up, and make some quick cash through media appearances anyway, so he's rubbing his hands together rather than cowering behind the sofa.Yes, I wish more people with a national platform did the same.

I wouldn't want people who sent their hateful opinions to the people of the MAGA movement banned either. Nor the people who give the opinion that the unvaccinated should be cast aside from society.

[Liam-]

It’s sad what happens to people when they’re 3rd rate acting career comes to an end, poor bloke, the lengths people like have to go to to pay their mortgage

[The Slim Reaper]

Yes, I wish more people with a national platform did the same.

I wouldn't want people who sent their hateful opinions to the people of the MAGA movement banned either. Nor the people who give the opinion that the unvaccinated should be cast aside from society.

Which party is the hateful one in this instance?

[Alf]

Which party is the hateful one in this instance?None, I'm making a point that offending someone shouldn't be dealt with censorship.

[user104658]

Yes, I wish more people with a national platform did the same.

To be fair Alf I largely agree with you - I don't think twitter bans for things like this really solve all that much. He'll have been getting plenty of kickback for it already and the ban will actually just get him more attention, not less. In terms of bans, I'd pretty much stick to the bots and anyone threatening or inciting actual violence/death threats etc. (no matter how toothless).

they could at least have smeared him with something a bit more unpleasant than personal abuse

[Mystic Mock]

I thought that I was gonna come on here and defend his right to say what he wants, even if it's 99% of the time idiotic.

But no he crossed the line here, you don't basically start associating groups of people with one of the most evil regimes in history.

[Liam-]

He comes across as a deeply unhappy man who takes his life shortcomings out on smaller minorities to make himself feel better and earn a quick buck from the mindless cattle that suckle from the teat of any right wing ‘commentator’ who opposes everything they also hate, it’s nauseating, but it’ll keep happening as long as people give him and his ilk the attention they so dearly crave

[user104658]

Yes I think the only real way to describe ol' Lozza is "bitter". Even compared to most similar "commentators" ... he seems to have a real chip on his shoulder. I suspect he thought his acting career was going to amount to more than it did.

[bots]

i just cant get excited one way or another over anything that he does. He is terribly predictable. He is like a school boy trying to get the teachers attention

Yep and while I 100% understand why it has been made into a big deal, because it is one, I just believe that the more people starve him of the attention he wants, the quicker he’ll disappear and become even more irrelevant than he already is, he thrives off of the comments and the dislikes and people reporting him, any headline is a good headline for him these days, it’s incredibly hard to ignore people who constantly attack the person you are, but it’ll be worth it in the end

I can answer why he did it for him.

He wasn't in the media limelight for awhile, was craving attention because he is the male Katie Hopkins, and he knew that he'd get a response by doing what he did.

Imo that's a low blow what he did, borderline slanderous.

The attention he gets probably turns him on ,it gives him a purpose. As his sad little acting career is non existent.

I'd feel sorry for him ,if he wasn't such a waste of breath & time.

You're probably right.

And I agree with you, I can't feel sorry for someone like this when they keep making these mistakes over and over again.

To me this is a really extreme comparison that he has made here.

You can’t slander/libel large groups like this which is to be fair on balance a good thing - e.g. we’d be in a pretty bad state if the Tory party could start suing people for defamation.

[Alf]

The people on the television trying to make everyone take the vaccine or support Ukraine in a war are 100 times more extreme than what Fox did here.

You don't go around saying those people crave the attention and limelight.

I feel like these are unrelated observations though Alf… it just seems quite obvious that Lozza Fox’s primary motivation is to gain notoriety and attention, which isn’t related to whether other people are more/less extreme. It’s the reason behind doing it.

Oh I know, it's just close enough to break that barrier of slandering a group of people.

Imo they're aren't many groups in this world like the Nazis, so I just see the comparison that Fox has made as really extreme and uncalled for.

And I dread to think what the Tories would class as defamation.

In absolutely no world of reality is her joking on HIGNFY more nasty and malicious than a man going on an unprovoked misogynistic rant about how he doesn't want to "shag" a woman he disagrees with politically (he also wasn't joking and has since doubled down). Trying to act like Carol's comments were worse or even equivalent is truly called mental gymnastics and I don't believe anybody actually thinks that, it's just desperately looking for a "gotcha!" moment because they know their defence of the indefensible with Laurence and the attempts of making this out to be some kind of witch hunt aren't working.

[Laurence Fox told to pay £180,000
in libel damages]

[Laurence Fox has been ordered to pay £90,000
in damages each to two people he
referred to as "paedophiles".
The actor-turned-politician lost a High Court libel
case with former Stonewall trustee
Simon Blake and drag artist Crystal.

The remarks on X, formerly Twitter,
came in an exchange about Sainsbury's marking
Black History Month.
Mrs Justice Collins Rice said the comments were
"gross, groundless and indefensible".

In a post after the ruling, Mr Fox said he
intended to appeal.
The Reclaim Party founder - who said at the time that
he would boycott Sainsbury's - counter-sued the pair
over tweets accusing him of racism
and attempted to sue broadcaster
Nicola Thorp for the same reason.

In January, the court ruled in favour of
Mr Blake and former RuPaul's Drag Race
contestant Crystal, whose real name is
Colin Seymour, and dismissed
Mr Fox's counter-claims.
The judge did not make a ruling on whether
describing Mr Fox as "a racist" was
"substantially true",
after finding the three tweets in his
counter-claim were unlikely to cause
serious harm to his reputation.

On Thursday, Mrs Justice Collins Rice
said in her written ruling: "By calling Mr Blake
and Mr Seymour paedophiles,
Mr Fox subjected them to a
wholly undeserved public ordeal.]
