Yaaas Broncos!
It’s good he’s been humiliated but bloody hell 117k is a lot of ignorant assholes.
The UK voted for Bojo and Brexit.It’s good he’s been humiliated but bloody hell 117k is a lot of ignorant assholes.
Thanks for reminding me. This is a horrible country in many ways.The UK voted for Bojo and Brexit.
117k out of about 9,000,000 people. That's about 1.3%. Considering the platforms and funding he's been given, it's not too much to worry about.117k! That's an awful lot of dipshits for one city. This twat will still make some money out of this.
that was also the second choice votes. It’s really not significant.117k out of about 9,000,000 people. That's about 1.3%. Considering the platforms and funding he's been given, it's not too much to worry about.
Those people barely outnumbered the even thicker people who were unable to correctly fill out their ballot paper (114,201).It’s good he’s been humiliated but bloody hell 117k is a lot of ignorant assholes.
Actually it's out of 3m voters or whatever it was. So you can probably triple it to find the real dipshit quota.117k out of about 9,000,000 people. That's about 1.3%. Considering the platforms and funding he's been given, it's not too much to worry about.
Debatable.Those people barely outnumbered the even thicker people who were unable to correctly fill out their ballot paper (114,201).
And almost 320,000 didn't even bother to nominate their second choice candidate.
Yeah, but that's the number of people he managed to convince to vote for him. Others decided they didn't care enough to vote for anyone, hence the low turnout.Actually it's out of 3m voters or whatever it was. So you can probably triple it to find the real dipshit quota.
True enough.Debatable.
there’s nothing wrong with not nominating a second choice.Those people barely outnumbered the even thicker people who were unable to correctly fill out their ballot paper (114,201).

No, I agree. I'm just pointing out that more than double the number who decided to give Fox their second vote opted to give theirs to nobody.there’s nothing wrong with not nominating a second choice.
It wonder how many of those were protests - I’m not sure how you can get it wrong!
i try to stay away from the public as much as possible!!No, I agree. I'm just pointing out that more than double the number who decided to give Fox their second vote opted to give theirs to nobody.
On the second point, have you ever worked with the general public? Some people are almost unbelievably stupid. There wasn't a day that went by when I worked in retail without having to explain to adults how the alphabet worked.
I don't particularly disagree with your support of free speech, but I think there are many, many examples where giving people with racists viewpoints and dodgy views exposure is exactly what lets them grow and turn into monsters. The examples range from Hitler to Trump to 8chan and the growth of internet-bred far-right terrorists. IMO we should support free speech because it's right to do so, not because we think it's going to defeat racists - because it almost certainly won't.oh come on. that’s low. I wouldn’t be bothered if you weren’t using it as an insult.
i’m a big supporter of free speech, because as I’ve always said if you give people with racist viewpoints or dodgy views exposure, then they fail. Case in point the BNP on question time.
I’m absolutely against people being ‘shut down’ - that doesn’t mean I support them. We can’t just be exposed to opinions, voices, ideas and ideology that we agree with.
Its difficult to assess, as there will always be people with such viewpoints - theoretically banning them takes them underground, and then they don’t have anyone to critique them as they operate in an echo chamber.I don't particularly disagree with your support of free speech, but I think there are many, many examples where giving people with racists viewpoints and dodgy views exposure is exactly what lets them grow and turn into monsters.

Recent years have convinced me that I'll never returnThanks for reminding me. This is a horrible country in many ways.
I never knew Fox until the caf started talking about him. He should sign up here.Do some of you just like to be miserable?
This campaign couldn't have gone much worse for Fox, he's literally won a handful more votes than a man dressed as a bin, a kid who's sole purpose was to wind Fox up and less votes than a youtuber.
Just revel in how shit this has been for him and how London was always a weird choice for him to make a run for elected office.
Also kind of shows how much of a social media bubble some people live in. I don't think a single one of my friends or colleagues in London had even heard of Laurence Fox.
Exactly. He's been massively humiliated. This arsehole was getting fawning full page articles in the likes of the DM and the Telegraph, as well as TV appearances and he lost to a youtuber running on a 5p packs of crisps ticket.Do some of you just like to be miserable?

Yep, no one I asked in the real world seemed to know who he was either. And I know two people, one I work with on a daily, who are Q/Trump moronsDo some of you just like to be miserable?

@esmufc07 is his booking agent and got him in.I'd never heard of him until this thread turned up either...which sort of begs the question as to how he got onto Question Time in the first place.

Laurence Fox endorsing cancel culture
im sure if you asked 100 British people to point out where a dozen well known towns in the UK are - there would be many wrong answers.I have seen that argument several times and it's baffling. Since when being shamelessly terrible at geography an argument for anything?
You'd think an actor would be able to wrap his head around the concept given it's a long-standing feature of theatre adaptations. But then I suppose he is neither a good actor nor someone interested in making genuine arguments.
Look, I'm not saying I hope Laurence Fox dies, I'm not saying that. That's not what I am saying.
