As much as I appreciate his willingness to take an unpopular opinion and stand up for it, not unlike Scarlett Johansson, Laurence Fox is legitimately stupid, even for a typically self-important actor and not a very good one at that. But yes, r4, his cock is very respectable and he showed it off to the 14-year-old Keira Knightley in The Hole.

"Our cottage and HRH titles."

So fine when it's a British person like Fergie, or Prince Andrew paying off millions to silence his accusers but a little American half black girl wants to come in and redo some interior decorating and my goodness where does she get off! It's ok for a rapist who buys sex from underage girls to keep his HRH titles absolutely! He's British and deserves it! Oh how he deserves it.

Remember guys, in England is far, far more offensive to be Meghan Markle a woman who enjoys attention, shopping and interior decorating than it is to be Prince Andrew, a man who enjoys paying for sex with trafficked underage women.

Meghan Markle proved herself to be an unlikeable person who made no effort to hide her unlikeable qualities, probably because she lacks the insight to know she's got them. So she got what she gave during her brief failed career in the UK.

This chatter about Meghan Markle and race trivializes actual race issues. But we live in a trivial time.

They're both right, and they're both wrong. It's called nuance and unfortunately no one is able to explore it safely anymore.

She's right in that the oh-so-subtle flavor of British racism colors what gets emphasized in the media reporting and from those individulals most vocally critical of MM's stint in the BRF so far. From Piers's personal-snub vendetta to Chrissie von Reibnitz's Sambo-esque accessorizing to even the utterance of the word 'uppity' (when Americans with any experience in the South all know what word always comes next), you can't deny race is a variable in the story.

But she's wrong in that it's the sole or even main variable. Some of it is just distaste an American arriviste entitlement. And then she compounds her poor argument by playing the 'white' and 'privelege' cancel cards.

He's right in calling out her hypocrisy and attempted deplatforming. Later on he's even more amusing when the humorless and irritating anti-semitism apologist Shami Charkabati tried to bait him on sexism because he dared say something positive about Keir Starmer and not a women candiate because their genitals are all that matters.

But he's super idiotic in pretending there's no racism at all, that the UK is the 'most tolerant and lovely country in europe' (I'll grant they're better than Italy.) And 'I'm not the puppet, you're the puppet' only qualifies as respectable argument among Russian stooge neofascists on either side of the pond.

This is the current whiny alt-right talking point, but it's ridiculous. What people like you tend to do is single out someone who writes some quickie response on social media and then claim that their vague reply is what "all you liberals do" and is proof that "it doesn't mean anything, because you don't explain it."

Then you conveniently ignore the people who give you specifics and details about why you (or a situation) is racist. It's an old troll trick and it works -- or gives the appearance of working on places like Datalounge which are full of sockpuppets and trolls. But racism is real and no amount of claiming it isn't or that the word is meaningless will change that.

"Deplatform" is being used two different ways in this discussion.

The person saying that the audience member is trying to "deplatform" Fox is using it in a micro level -- she discounts -- i.e., deplatforms -- his observations out of hand because of the color of his skin, his wealth and his holding of the wrong beliefs.

The person refuting that argument is using "deplatform" in the macro level -- Fox is not being denied his right to speak, and on television, no less!

Both are correct.

R54 - I think it's precisely because everyone is tired out from the real shit (that most of us can't control, anyway) that it's fun to talk about the Harry and Meghan fiasco.

It's the equivalent of a gossip vacation before you are forced to return home to reality and turn on the telly to hear about Rebecca Long-Bailey trying to keep Corbynism alive in Labour, or, alternatively, on the other side of the Pond, turning on the endless coverage of the impeachment shit.

Either way, it makes many want to scream.

At least with the Harkles, you mostly laugh. It's about as upsetting as Downton Abbey.

FWIW: I rather liked Lozza in "Inspector Lewis" - he was hot in an odd way with his duck walk.

R62 - You have lots of company on Lipstick Alley. They have an "Unpopular Opinions about Meghan Markle" that is on Part 2 already and up to 2,500 posts. I check in there once in awhile but have to start at the back because their threads expand so quickly.

They mostly consider her quite privileged in many ways and resent her playing the race card while clearly leaning white (they often refer to her as "that heifer" or sometimes "that heffa", which I assume refers to her light skin, as heifers look white when born). One stated, "I don't consider her black, she doesn't hang with us" - which for the most part, she doesn't.

It's a continuing amazement to me how "siloed" all these groups are from each other - there is no such thing as an exchange of views any longer. I read Celebitchy's royal columns, scanning for any semblance of sanity and objectivity, although it is increasingly difficult given their pathological defence of anything Meghan does, and their equally pathological hatred of Kate, and the magical powers they attribute to William and to Carole Middleton. I also check in to Lipstick Alley, and I also check into Harrymarkle Wordpress, in my opinion the best out there for laying out the case against Meghan.

I won't check in any longer to Skippy or Torontopaper1 any longer, as they are clearly living in alternate universes. I'm still convinced Skippy is one of the Sophie Cumberbatch Is The Devil cabal who got bored waiting for her beloved "Dorkybatch" to divorce Sophie and go back to being Sherlock.

The trolls screaming "racist" haven't anything to say, I notice, about the fact that the Labour Council and the police in the sex grooming scandals looked the other way as long as possible because the perps were all "Asian" (i.e., Muslims, mostly of Pakistani background).

Who was more the victim of racism: Meghan Markle and her privileged rich life as a royal fighting a bit of negative PR that she herself helped to generate?

Or the thousands of young Anglo girls thrown to the wolves over 15 years in Rotherham - raped, hooked on drugs, trafficked, etc. - by "ethnic" minority men because the officials were too frightened to let it out that they were going after predominantly Muslim grooming gangs?

Which, by the way, were uncovered across England, not just in Rotherham.

What r78 and r86 said. The grooming gang scandal, which occurred in about 20 towns and cities where hundreds of perpetrators acted in concerted gangs to rape thousands of underage girls, went intentionally ignored by police for decades because of the race of the rapists.

It is one of the most foul, shameful, fucking disgusting things I've ever heard about. And it involves genuine racism, both on the part of the rapists, who chose their victims by age and race, and by the police, who turned a blind eye for decades because of the rapists' own race.

All this bullshit pretending the the UK was racist towards Meghan Markle when they in fact welcomed her with open arms? Meanwhile the grooming rape scandal goes unmentioned, where genuine - and now, admitted - racism prevented police from acting in case after case of little girls being raped and mutilated (one case the gang raped a 12 year old with a metal scouring brush, another age 14 had her tongue nailed to a table to warn her against 'telling', and there were several instances where the girls were branded with hot metal)? To say nothing of the girls who died.

Yes, real racism exists in Britain, but none of it has anything to do with, or has ever even affected, Meghan fucking Markle.

Diane's hatred of the royal family seems less pathological now than realistic. They drove her over the edge to the point where she was unhinged. Her son doesn't have a chance.

The Queen is so happy this is taking attention away from Andrew who is the tip of the ice berg.

From 2012 concerning Savile:

She(the Queen) has refused to comment on the subject despite the fact that the scandal is a moral issue of public interest and that she is directly involved in the matter: the BBC is run by 12 trustees appointed by the Queen in person while she granted Savile knighthood in 1990. Indeed, Savile was knighted when his abuse was well underway and the Queen should have distanced herself and the royal family from the pedophile immediately after allegations of his pervert activities to ward off unwanted speculation. However, there has been no comment by the Queen herself, her office or the royal family as if she knew of the Savile’s scandalous behaviour and decided to decorate him regardless. As for the BBC, it runs under a Royal Charter, the present one having come into force in 2007 and running until the end of 2016. The corporation is also ruled and supervised by the BBC Trust, which is a board of 21 trustees directly appointed by the Queen to set “the strategic objectives of the BBC” and chooses the broadcaster’s director general who heads its Executive Board in charge of its services and output. The magnitude of the Savile scandal and the unfolding drama including comments by Tom Watson MP who openly suggested in parliament that there may be a pedophile ring going right to the British Prime Minister’s office at No 10 Downing Street raise more questions. Is the Queen aware of the true scale of the scandal that is currently unknown to much of the public and even investigators and wants to keep herself out of any inquiries?

You do realize R95 that Savile received his award in 1990 and the abuse investigation began in 2012 and you do further realize that Savile's knighthood would have been the government's advice, which the Queen would - must - follow and you might further realize that for the Queen to make any comment would have seen her stray into politics and appear to criticize the government, which would have shattered her duty to impartiality and been outside her constitutional duties and made no sense given the 22 years between the knighthood and the criminal investigation and you probably also no doubt know that Tom Watson has been entirely discredited with regard to this conspiracy theory.

Other than that, thanks for your contributions. A source might have helped. Now go back to Celebitchy. It's over. Your horse lost.

I wonder if all this hysteria - on both sides - may finally break the foolish fever of woke... seems me Fox has accidentally triggered, if you will, a climate where the majority can finally say: give your head a shake.

I think we are all more sensitive to the feelings and experience of minorities, and that's good and valuable, but there is a brigade out there constantly seeking to be affronted and, frankly, they get in the way of the progress they claim to seek. But they don't seem to want progress, they seem they'd rather just be angry.

As the author says by 1990 Savile's predilections and perversions were already widely known by many people. And I'm sure nobody holds a gun to the Queen's head to knight perverts which she surely knew he was. I was in the music distribution business starting in the late 80s and James Levine's behavior was widely known and a source as they say of great merriment. But he was protected by very powerful rich people in including The New York Times. All the Met general managers knew about his appalling behavior and protected him including Gelb for many years who fired him with great laughable self-righteousness when it became publicly not tenable to do so. The Queen's behavior is I'll put it generously inscrutable. She certainly is The Teflon Queen.

Savile had enough big Establishment connections to stifle inquiries lower down the scale. He was friendly with and admired by Charles and Diana; spent time with Thatcher at The Prime Minister's country retreat; spent time with Cardinals in London's clubland.

If the honours committee had thought to make inquiries with certain tabloid editors, and they'd told all they knew, Savile's Knighthood would have been seen as extremely unwise. A non-starter. Courtiers would have known that after Savile's death the floodgates would open, and so it proved. There's no way they would have risked that great embarrassment by association for The Queen. It was a naive or stupid oversight, pure and simple. The Establishment is more than capable of huge clunking mistakes. Savile had the luck of the devil.

Duh R115. Because the Queen is in her glory knowing that this takes the heat off her pedophile son and the pedophile rings which circle back to the royal family. That's why she just went to church with him. I can just imagine God listening to Andrew praying. 'What the fuck is up with this guy?'

And her courtiers and she herself must be beyond stupid to have allowed Andrew(she is not only his mother but his boss) to go back to cavorting with Epstein after his conviction. This stupidity goes back decades. Meghan has been a godsend to the crown. A helluva lot more attractive and interesting than disgusting sweaty Andrew. A charismatic spiderwoman with her tentacles around a dimwit depressed prince is certainly a lot more entertaining.

Let's not forget the Queen awarded Andrew the Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order long after the Daily Mail to its credit had published detailed allegations of his consorting with criminal elements. The lickspittle press like to portray her as someone whose instincts are flawless. However, as this indicates, she's merely a stonking rich grumpy old biddy who is happy to give gongs to her family however contemptible their behaviour. Most anyone's old nan is more worthy of respect: at least they don't award criminal behaviour!

"The terrifying parable of Laurence Fox’s Question Time appearance" by Douglas Murray

[quote]Nothing that Fox said on Question Time was at all controversial. He suggested that the Labour party leader might be selected on merit and he suggested that Britain is not a racist country. Both these sentiments are held by the majority of the public. Yet so dominant have the minority-opinion pushers become that many people are persuaded that it would not just be career-damaging but socially fatal to say anything to the contrary. Even when that thing is the truth.

"The Grooming Gang cover-up is Britain's real racism scandal"

Basically making the same point as the post above (r88) but 3 days later.

Maybe the Telegraph reads the DL, or maybe it's just an obvious, easily observable truth that all the race baiters screaming over imaginary racist slights of Meghan Markle are remarkably silent over the mass rape of thousands of British girls, targeted largely because of their skin colour (as several perpetrators have in fact since testified) because the perpetrators all have another skin colour. To say nothing of the police knowingly refusing to investigate these thousands of crimes, also because of the perpetrators' ethnicity. Now that is real, tangible racism, which has led to not just mass rape, but also torture, mutilation and the occasional murder going unpunished because of ethnicity.

Unless the self-appointed 'race experts' screeching about supposed mistreatment of Markle equally address the shockingly huge issue issue of the racism in the 'grooming gangs' scandal, they do not deserve to be taken remotely seriously on the subject of racism in Britain.

They had Laurence on a breakfast tv show in that clip and just attacked him for saying what he said in what was just a youtube chat with a friend. It was a sort of assassination and then they sent him home.

Someone upthread made the claim that the left can't be racist; only the right. Well, I'm left-of-center, politically, and the far-left (with mainly white women leading the charge) is most certainly racist! They constantly see minorities (and women) as perpetual victims who can't make it based on merit and who always need assistance from a white savior. They pay lip service to being colorblind, but they're often the first to point out race. For instance, I've noticed that there's a hierarchy of oppression on the far left; the more oppressed you're deemed to be, the more entitled you are. For instance, I'm a swarthy, gay Latino, so in their eyes I have it worse than white men, white women, or heterosexual men of any color. However, since I'm 'cisgender' and a naturalized US citizen, I have it better than trans of any color or illegal immigrants. Therefore, they are more entitled than I and I shouldn't complain about all the attention the Democrats give to them. It's madness! No wonder they're constantly pissed and angry at the world! I would be too if I constantly saw myself and peers as helpless victims.
