My point isn’t so much of what I want them to do specifically about the terror attacks, although some more outrage wouldn’t have gone a miss as it’s now forgotten about, my point is to not protest in the middle of a pandemic over something happening in another country, to show consistency and to act with reason.Sorry, what do you want them to do? Pull down the statues to islamic terrorists we have in the country? Protest the govenments support of terrorists?
Something the radical left are incapable of doing in their endless anti western antagonism.
I think he just upset a lot of people who've seen and endured racism in this country when he told a black woman on public TV that bringing up racism was "boring" and then, when the woman said he might not be best placed to recognise racism, given his background, told her that she was the racist.
Or when he got all red in the face and screamed about how outrageous and disgustingly politically correct it was to have a Sikh actor in 1917, because the version of history he got taught didn't allow for non white people in the British army during WW1 (despite the fact Sikh soldiers did serve shoulder to shoulder with white soldiers).
Or when he demanded everyone boycott Sainsbury's for celebrating black history month.
It's also amazing how despite the fact Fox actually apologised and explained he's too uneducated, stupid and unable to express what he means, he's now decided that it should be his full time job. I'm sure that has nothing to do with the £50m funding someone shoved at him to start a political party.

At that point some people thought, "that's odd, that bloke who refused to consider racism might exist is bringing up race again".

I’ve no desire personally to “cancel him”, I just enjoy ridiculing him as he’s a fairly tragi-comic character. Surely we can all at least agree on that?The funny thing is - as @banjani I think has already mentioned, if people would have just calmly disagreed with Fox and respected his right to his opinion, he'd probably still be on Lewis now and he'd be a complete non-entity. But because of all the rage and bile towards him for having, in the main, fairly moderate and respectable views (albeit which other reasonable people might disagree with) plus all the attempts to cancel him, he's now the leader of a political party and he'll be on all the new GB News and NewsUK news channels, which themselves were borne out of the same backlash against censorship.
