A high court ruling marks the climax of Fox\u2019s comic unravelling. Now let\u2019s focus on the figures who pull his strings<\/p>\n
Did some randos calling him a \u201cracist\u201d on the platform formerly known as Twitter cost Laurence Fox his acting career? No, suggests a judgment<\/a> from the high court, where a judge also found the actor turned thought leader to have defamed said randos by calling them \u201cpaedophiles\u201d. You can\u2019t just call any old person a paedophile, apparently \u2013 unless you\u2019re the owner of Twitter\/X, of course, and you get sued in the US as opposed to the UK, like Elon Musk did<\/a> by that Thai cave rescue diver a few years back. Appearing on the steps outside a Los Angeles courtroom following his favourable verdict, Musk declared: \u201cMy faith in humanity is restored\u201d. These were not the words of Laurence Fox yesterday.<\/p>\n Instead, the Reclaim party leader and Hunter Biden biopic<\/a> star offered a nine-minute monologue<\/a> outside the high court that had a distinctly \u201cafter lunch\u201d feel to it. \u201cWhat we\u2019ve got, after several million quid, is a nothing burger,\u201d elucidated Fox. Laurence was wearing glasses with transition lenses, which \u2013 and like him, I\u2019m just making a rhetorical point here \u2013 always look like a come-and-get-me plea to the beast wing at HMP Full Sutton. He was accompanied by his girlfriend, Liz Barker. Liz believes the moon landings were faked, and has previously stated<\/a> she doesn\u2019t buy the whole theory of human evolution from apes.
