Laurence Fox, right wing Confusionist, arrested.
Laurence Fox, one time author at Spiked on Line (The fall of Britain 2020), is short of defenders these days,. Brendan O’Neill recently wrote, after the latest scanda,) “Yes, Fox’s comments were loathsome – but so is the hypocrisy of these privileged virtue-signallers who spend their days siding with bepenised people against women and then think they can get on their high horse over a sexist jibe on a news channel. Get real, fellas.”
Today we hear, Laurence Fox arrested over Ulez camera damage threat.
And, “Laurence Fox arrested over remarks on Ulez cameras as GB News sacks him.“
After the arrest, the broadcaster GB News, which last week suspended Fox after he made misogynistic remarks about the political journalist Ava Evans while on the Dan Wootton Tonight show, said it had “ended its employment relationship” with him.
In a statement, the broadcaster said its working relationship with the regular presenter Calvin Robinson, who had issued a statement expressing solidarity with Wootton, was also over. The internal investigation into Wootton, who was also suspended, was continuing, it said.
Fox’s the Reclaim Party has been called, a right-wing populist party, “Who are the Reclaim Party and what do they stand for? Conservative councillor Anthony Allen defects to Laurence Fox’s populist ‘anti-woke’ collective ahead of North Shropshire by-election.”
They say, “The Conservatives are no longer conservative or governing for all. The Labour Party is not fit to be in Opposition. We need a new way of doing things.
Reclaim intends to change freedom of speech laws and to depoliticise the police and other public institutions.
Reclaim stands for patriotism and believes hard work should be rewarded. We believe in protecting our borders, supporting forgotten working class communities and, above all, true equality for all Britons – rather than dividing us into narrow, protected groups.
We will field candidates at the next General Election – both to directly take seats and to actively target and unseat MPs who’ve sold Britain down the river.
“In June 2023, Reclaim Party leader Laurence Fox announced his intention to contest the 2023 Uxbridge and South Ruislip by-election.[31] Fox received 2.3% of the vote, finishing fourth and losing his deposit, being beaten by Conservative candidate Steve Tuckwell.[32]“
For us political sociologists and historians of confusionism, Foxy is a extreme example of a ‘party leader’ who’s built his little empire on a murky mixture of prejudice, unwitty anti-woke themes, and the culture of narcissism. He shows how the way the Right in the epoch of social media is, at least in the UK, not far from the days when Spode was swanking about with the Black-shorts in footer bags Have you ever in your puff see such another perfect perisher?
Far Right Conspiracy Cranks in Ipswich Today.
The Fascist Beast reared its head in Ipswich Today.
There was a far right conspiracy group protest on Ipswich Corn Hill at lunch-time. 30 to 40 people. One was an out and out fash (Socialist Appeal said) involved in the anti-refugee movement. Somebody, one can guess who, shouted, numerous times, at them, ‘No Platform for Fascists !’ This is part of their gang.
They also had nutters from the Heritage Party, Save our Rights UK, and all the rest of this lot.
One of the filth said to me, ‘Why don’t you just go home’. Response, ‘this is *my home*’. The left and trade unions have had too many stalls there over the years to count.
Just in front of them there was a stall from the British Legion. They were visibly cringing. I commented to them, “People Respect You. My Dad and family members served in the War, having this lot here is gross disrespect.”

Paul Mason Back in the News Again – “Bid” to run for Labour in Islington North.
Say what you like about Paul Mason but he does some good diagrams.
Mason’s old friends in the Morning Star, carry this story today, with a winsome picture: “Paul Mason addresses protesters from Another Europe is Possible outside the Houses of Parliament, London, August 2019.”
Paul Mason prepared to take on Jeremy Corbyn, according to reports.
PAUL MASON could make a bid as Labour candidate to take on former party leader Jeremy Corbyn in his Islington North seat at the next general election, it has been reported.
The journalist is considering the role, according to the Times, which spoke to a party official.
Local members have raised concerns that the Labour’s national executive committee (NEC) will impose a candidate on them without a vote.
Mr Corbyn has represented the constituency as an independent MP since he was suspended from the party whip in 2020 and barred from standing as a Labour candidate by leader Sir Keir Starmer.
He said last month: “I am proud to have been the MP for Islington North since 1983.
“If the people want me to continue, then my services are available.”
Islington North CLP voted 98 per cent in favour of Mr Corbyn in May.
Mr Mason, who followed the CLP’s Twitter account recently, has lost his previous four attempts at the selection contests in Pembrokeshire, Sheffield Central, Stretford and Urmston.
He was a supporter of Mr Corbyn until 2020 but has been supportive of Sir Keir’s leadership since.
The Tendance says: NO, Paul, NO. Born in Islington North TC takes a keen interest in the Constituency and is opposed to Labour having got rid of Corbyn, preventing him from standing. The whole affair has been a divisive act by Starmer, who has been linked to far more radical left-wingers than Corbyn has ever been (Tendance Marxiste Révolutionnaire Internationale, TMRI). Splitting the Labour vote will be primarily Starmer and his factionalist supporters’ responsibility. There is no need to add to it.
End of Story.
While waiting for Mason’s influential critics from Socialist Appeal to respond one can sample these tweets.
The wits of the Internet were quick to get in on the action:
