Laurence Fox launches political party

He just strikes me as a bit of a daft, entitled public school dickhead whose failed acting career was going nowhere fast but has gained a bit of traction online by being obnoxiously right-wing and has decided that a career in politics now awaits. Funded by his wealthy parents, no doubt.

No more needs to be said about him. That is spot on. He is an absolute twat. He believes it to be racist if a black person suggests he has no idea what he is talking about when it comes to their struggles. Why does no one think about how tough life is for a white privately educated moron?! Where is their voice in all of this?
 
No I haven't read anything about Malcolm X at all, my interest in America is pretty much all from the historical Civil War perspective.

I am more interested in the class based analysis such as why do Billionaires want to divide the working class. I suppose a comparison could be made as to why does Micah get jobs on Soccer Saturday when he is a working class kid from a Leeds council estate, when the majority of people in the media are not working class.

His talent and profile get him jobs in sports media but with his background I suspect he is highly unlikely to get a job reporting on politics for a national newspaper

Going back to Owen Jones, he touches on this in the book. The background of the newspaper reporters was not helpful when reporting on the Shannon Matthews case. They treated it like a safari. ‘Oh look at all these poor people....’

He’s got a new one coming out. I caught him talk about it on the radio. Unfortunately I can’t remember the details

Yeah, the difference as well in how that case and the McCann case was reported because of the different class backgrounds,
 
I quite enjoyed this...



Fox really is an entitled piece of shit. Who the fuck does he think he is, pontificating the way he does about issues because he got a bit of notoriety by being a ****.

The amount of rubbish i read about the Pogues as a result of his stupidity was mind blowing. Rather than his intention of attacking the BBC, he gave licence to all the little Englanders to pile in on the Pogues with the old accusations of them supporting the IRA and other fucking nonsense. How the talentless **** must wish he had 100th of Shane Mcgowan's talent because he came across as a bitter twisted twat.
 
I am genuinely interested in how you come to this conclusion and which left wing groups you believe do this.
When dealing with the far or extreme right, they are usually easily identifiable. As soon as they start talking about segregation, ethno-states, racial superiority etc you can basically fuck them off, and remove them from the discussion, as its pretty much universally agreed this is a bad thing.

The issue with the far or extreme left is that when they portray similar ideologies to those of the far/extreme right (horseshoe theory and all that), there isn't a similar point of reference or metric where you can do the same.

This is because the far/extreme left use a playbook that even Stalin would of been proud of, to disguise what is essentially a power grab.
They position themselves as caring using words like diversity, equality etc and when those things are attained move the goalposts to introduce concepts such as equity (fairness), to continue favouriting certain groups.

They achieve this by pitching everything from the viewpoint that everyone falls into 2 categories; you're either oppressed or an oppressor, and then they take it further.

They remove any dissent, disagreement or criticism by labelling those against them as oppressors, and for everyone else create a 'us and them' situation ('if you aren't with us you're against us') to bring them into the fold, or at the least remove any objections.

If you want to see this sort of thing in action just watch the below 3 part youtube documentary on Evergreen State college



I would love to be able to say 'Only in America' or 'The Lunatics have taken over the Asylum'
but its more likely 'Coming soon, to a campus near you'

If you don't see anything in the above vid that concerns you i genuinely despair.

I watched that video and it just confirmed my opinion that society have given a voice to people who couldn't navigate a kinder egg toy.
