Laurence Fox launches political party

[Alan Harper's Tash]

It’s always the ones you least suspect.

For reasons I can't begin to fathom, this has prompted me to skim through his 2019 'album' and I am now convinced that his entire persona is a parody or some weird bit of performance art like when Joaquin Phoenix became a rapper.
No person on the planet irrespective of level of sanity is producing something like that seriously, the only thing that would be madder would be Farage announcing he's releasing an album in a new genre he calls Gammon Drill.

We won’t be seeing it on the album review thread then?

Im pretty sure the resident West Ham neutral will find common ground with something vague about the album.

Don't tempt me. It could be used like a punishment beating if you were particularly upset how a previous pick had been received.

Wotton has done much worse according to the media , about time the **** was cancelled

Not cancelled, feeling the consequences of his actions.

I've never watched GB news and I genuinely don't know who these people are, I guess the vast majority of the population are similarly in the dark.

But hey presto say something shocking and your all over the news. Call me a cynic. Just saying.

The media?
Hardly any media outlet has reported on the Wootton allegations.

Most people don’t know who he or what GB News is.

I don't watch GB news either but see clips of the a lot of the cretins on there on social media. You don't need to be watching it full time to have them invade your algorithms.

You may well be onto something there, with the parody/performance art theory.

I had to read this twice before I realised he is serious.

We live in a world where 3 part slogans can convince the majority of people to vote a certain way or follow a certain ideology. People don't have time for facts, they just digest a headline and that'll do. Sadly the whole media tends to now operate in the same way - saying anything for clicks. With the Russell Brand allegations you have some very serious allegations where a crime has been committed but even then, the editing of the dispatches programme interspersed those allegations with scenes of his comedy and soundbites from others where he's not actually doing anything illegal. That just serves to downplay the seriousness of the allegations. Subsequently the media have been finding any old footage or any person he's wronged to try and build a case and that just suits those who buy into this whole conspiracy.

If you tell people that immigrants are causing all of the problems you can very quickly convince a lot of people. Many naturally want something to blame for their perceived woe. It was all the EU's fault and that's why we left. Now we need a new target. The right wing will always thrive in times like this.

A very cogent and articulate post.Also 100% correct.Well written sir.
