Laurence Fox causing scaremonging and false information over Covid jabs

[Suetully]

He stated he is ''‘Following the tragic death of BBC journalist Lisa Shaw from vaccine-related complications, and the unending lies about the efficacy and safety of the vaccine, I will not be sending my children to school until I have received a cast-iron guarantee that my children will not be vaccinated without the consent of both parents for a disease that has negligible chance of serious illness to them.‘We are in the middle of a mass delusion and it is time for people to wake up. Children’s lives are at risk.

‘However, I fully support the provision of vaccination for children in vulnerable groups with fully informed parental consent.’

A Department of Health spokesman said: ‘No decisions have been made on vaccinating 12 to 15-year-olds and it is inaccurate to suggest otherwise. Ministers have not yet received further advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation on this cohort.’

Now AIBU to be angry that he is misleading the public into thinking that the schools/govt are going to start vaccinating the kids without consent as nowhere was this ever stated as fact. And the govt have issues statements online to counteract the false reports online that this was not the case for under 16s and that the laws have not changed. Yet he is spreading false information rather than doing his research.

Why are you surprised? This is Laurence Fox you're talking about - the poor man's Nigel Farage and asshat du jour. This is how he gets airtime. He's a pathetic little man whose acting career has stranded and who is now reduced to spouting right wing bollocks for attention.

Anyone who believes a word that comes out of his mouth probably shouldn’t be trusted to make a decision for themselves let alone a child!

Given the complete bull he seems to post I don’t know why social media platforms are still allowing him a profile

''Anyone who believes a word that comes out of his mouth probably shouldn’t be trusted to make a decision for themselves let alone a child!

yea he is a twat but my point is many people don't and he's just causing mayhem and people buy the misinformation.

I'm sure the Mother of his children also gets a say. The man is an arsehole his rants are ridiculous !

In any vaccines they have*

I don’t think his kids live with him f/t so I’m not sure how much control he actually has over it. I’m also sure I’ve read gripes from him about not wanting them to attend a private school (they do) but that could be my memory playing tricks.

Either way the mans a complete doughnut and I’m not entirely sure why he gets so much attention.

He was out-anti’ed by Richard Fairbrass on Twitter the other day though. LF was calling for debate and discussion and RF was basically saying ‘nah, no more discussion, time for revolution’.

Exactly.

He's filling in the space left vacant by Katie Hopkins who is now too extreme to promote on mainstream media. He will eventually go in the direction of Katie Hopkins because the acting jobs have dried up. This is entirely down to his own behaviour and is his own fault but he has an expensive lifestyle to fund. So he'll continue to spout right wing shite to the highest bidder.

Imagine trying to co parent with that cock womble.

This is Laurence Fox you're talking about - the poor man's Nigel Farage
Surely the Poor Man’s Nigel Farage is, well, Nigel Farage.

Poor billie having to co parent with such a dick head

I think the kindest interpretation is that he has misunderstood the difference between 16+ DC - for whom parental consent is not sought, as they are deemed capable of consenting for themselves - with what is required for younger age groups.

@Mrsjayy

I read his comments as also to do with messing up consent if mum says yes, and he says no - what happens then (esp if they are at school and ‘have a say’)?

He also said a while ago that it was a waste of money sending his sons to an exclusive private school and they would be better off at home with him reading with them !
Is this an excuse for him to take them out of school now??
I am sure BP has a big say in this, so not sure if she shares his beliefs?

He's a male version of Katie Hopkins, and best ignored for the cunt he is.

You're giving LF Oxygen of publicity with this thread. I wouldn't know about his views but for social media posts (MN & Twitter) condemning his views. Let the guy have his free speech, sheesh.

Funny thing is my parents adored Lewis.
Parents are also furious at all anti-(covid) vaxxers.
I'll never tell them about L-Fox's views.
Ignorance is Bliss.

I will not be sending my children to school until I have received a cast-iron guarantee that my children will not be vaccinated without the consent of both parents

Sounds like he's using it as an excuse to be a dick to Billie Piper. The man is an arsehole and a shit dad.

His acting career is washed up so he’s desperately trying to say anything that will keep him in the news and keep him relevant.

I didn’t know about any of this until this thread. You can be unaware of what people are ranting about by not following them, you know.

yea he is a twat but my point is many people don't and he's just causing mayhem and people buy the misinformation

Why are you
A) Treating people as though they are less intelligent than you and
B) Caring what he says if you don’t like him?

Do you really want private companies like Twitter and Facebook deciding on what people can and can’t say?

Did you do your GCSE history?

It’s really not that hard to see that this form of censorship is truly terrifying

Let him spout his nonsense all he wants. It really doesn’t matter does it? Do you really think he’d persuade someone who didn’t think what he thinks already to do a complete u turn?

It doesn’t matter what he says.

But please don’t fucking encourage censorship. It’s beyond stupid

Hes just a person with an opinion, there are lots of people with opinions about vaccines and covid, i ignore them all, honestly, if people are swayed by the opinions of so celebrities more fool them

''Hes just a person with an opinion, there are lots of people with opinions about vaccines and covid, i ignore them all, honestly, if people are swayed by the opinions of so celebrities more fool them''

that's the thing though, celebs aren't ''just people'' in that they are idolised and people listen to their words. That his ''opinion'' is not that in that it is inaccurate information. That's the point I am raising.

He's only causing "mayhem" with a tiny minority who don't get he's an absolute tosspot.

The vaccine probably will be offered to kids as it has been in lots of other countries.

There is inaccurate information you come across all the time, really OP, it doesn’t matter. Stop infantising adults and trying to ‘save’ them from things you consider to be harmful, people can make up their own minds. Really they can!

@EvilPea

Imagine trying to co parent with that cock womble.

Imagine getting pregnant with him. On second thoughts don't, it won't be good for you.
