Laurence Fox telling people to boycott Nike, whilst wearing Nike trainers.



. He really is a bear of little brain.

Perhaps it is a carefully thought out tactic to promote that boycott among those who think he is a fool. I wouldn't pay any attention to what Laurence Fox says, but I wouldn't buy anything which Laurence Fox wears.

On another note, do adults really call themselves 'Lozza'?

I believe that it's a colloquialism for 'Loser'

I would go as far as doing the opposite of what he says. He brings the family name down. His cousin Emilia seems very nice

[President Merkin]

I imagine he can't afford Tom Ford shoes since getting rinsed for libel last month. Shame.

I did start off with "I guess he could just be a nasty piece of work" but if he is he seems to have hidden it very well and then very quickly set fire to his career his marriage and his life.

I do take your point and the concern and I'm not getting into an argument about it but I'd say it has to be a possibility.

I mean, he barely had a career. He's a failed actor and a tt. Presumably he looks at the members of his family that are actually respected and is a bitter little because of it so he's forever trying to get attention.

Oh dear what a shame.

Good.

No way he has £180 large, so I guess Jeremy Hosking is writing another cheque. Would be good if he pulled the plug on this serial gobste & fushed him away.

[bitchstewie]

Bloody hell

[Countdown]

I'm guessing his mate Jeremy Hosking will bail him out.

Actually I think Lawrence performs an important service to society at large in reminding us all where we end up when we start believing what people like Farage and Tice are telling us. Next stop David Icke.

And yet disaffected Tories continue to be attracted to those politics. Until we see a credible mainstream political party emerge this trajectory will continue.

Yes, it’s a slippery slope

I know, it leaves an element of truth which some in here may find not to their liking.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking everyone is on your wavelength, sometimes some simple phrases and explanations will be needed, time to rest.

Of course, because they're stupid and the brilliance of their actions mean they help the party further away from their beliefs (Labour) get into power.

2021 London Mayoral election, Fox receives 1.9% of the vote, loses his deposit.
2021 Scottish Parliament election. Leo Kearse receives 0.3% of the vote. Loses his deposit
2021 North Shropshire by election. Martin Daubney receives 0.98% of the vote. Loses his deposit
2023 Uxbridge by election. Fox receives 2.3% of the vote. Loses his deposit.

I like you Cranky, you're such fun.

Don't knock it - using a best case for Cranky's continuing trajectory, I estimate that by the year 2262 Reclaim will be able to attract over 50% of the vote in an election somewhere. We'll be laughing on the other side of our long-dead faces then, make no mistake.

if the "disaffected Tories" are being attracted to the policies of parties like Reclaim/Reform why would they be attracted to a "credible mainstream party"? Aren't the two things mutually exclusive?

I know I'm stating the obvious but it's the centre-ground where votes and elections are won. Reform/Reclaim aren't really the "Centre", and I think the only reason that they're att4acting disaffected Tories is because the Conservatives are having a huge fight between the right-wing and the relatively moderate wing. It's this which has created an open goal for Starmer, not his amazing personality or his incisive policies.
