Lozza and the Twat

I normally ignore luvvies when they do politics. However, I am making an exception here.

Laurence Fox has waded into the woke culture wars with sword held high. And he seems to be coming out of it well. And, the important point, he is unapologetic and standing his ground. Finally someone has the balls to stand up to these bullies.

Laurence Fox is standing strong in the face of a left-wing Twitter mob accusing him or ‘racism’ following his Question Time slanging match with an ethnicity lecturer over Meghan Markle.

The 41-year-old accused Rachel Boyle, an academic at Edge Hill University on Merseyside, of ‘being racist’ after she called him ‘a white privileged male’ for denying the Duchess of Sussex was hounded from Britain for being mixed-race.

So, this woman is peddling mickey mouse degrees to people who will waste time in university learning this bullshit before flipping burgers because employers aren’t interested in people with a degree in racism. The woman is a professional racist – she sees everything through the prism of race and Fox called her out on it. Well done that man. And well done for standing firm and not bending the knee in the face of the twatter storm. This is by far the best way of dealing with it. Stand steadfast and flatly refuse to apologise.

He is also correct in his substantive comment. Markle was not hounded from the royal family because of her race. During the build up to the wedding the paparazzi were all over her. They couldn’t get enough of her and the British people welcomed her. The most likely reason she quit was because, like two of her predecessors, she found out the hard way that it’s no bed of roses being a royal and she didn’t like it.

That’s understandable – even if there was plenty of opportunity to find out – but racism had nothing to do with it and the usual suspects really don’t like it when their own racism is held up to a mirror.

As the row continued today he quoted Martin Luther King’s 1963 ‘I have a dream’ speech about living in a nation where children ‘will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character’.

Precisely.

He said: ‘This is the position I took last night and I live by in life. If you can improve on it, I’m all ears. Or you can keep screeching ”Racist!” at me and I can carry on having a jolly good giggle at your expense. The tide is turning’.

Mr Fox suggested he was ‘having the best day of my life ever’ while replying to comments accusing him of ‘appropriating [Dr King] in order to prop up your own white privilege and toxic masculinity’.

And that is how to deal with it. Ridicule them. Laugh and point. Don’t take their screeching seriously. Most of all, do not grant them power. Finally someone is standing up to them. We need more of this.

And, just as a point of order, there is no such thing as white privilege. It’s an artificial construct designed specifically to shut people down. Fox is having none of it and neither will I.

He goaded critics about ‘drinking all of these leftist tears’, telling his detractors: ‘My cup it overfloweth. But please don’t stop’.

I’m liking this bloke more and more.
