Posted a photo of himself on social media wearing a lanyard badge saying he’s exempt from wearing a mask and boasting that he bought it from Amazon. With the hashtag #anxiety.

Needs the hashtag #selfishtwat

Ignore him and don’t start threads about him. That’s what he wants. (And yes I’m aware I’m commenting so contributing but I just want to make the point)

Ignore him.

Drawmelikeoneofyourfrenchgirls · 16/01/2021 16:35

Yes he’s a twat. But I’m sure there are thousands of folk who have also bough lanyards off Amazon and the like so they can get out of wearing masks too unfortunately

I think Billie had a lucky escape

He is doing what millions of others do, just buying it off the internet - and making the point of exactly how easy it is to self certify as exempt.

Ignore him.

Definitely this.
WankPuffins · 16/01/2021 16:55

He's fucked his career, hasn't he?

Twat.

WankPuffins · 16/01/2021 16:57

One of Dh friends has got a lanyard, for the sole reason that he "can't be arsed" to wear a mask.

I fucking despair of people sometimes.

MoirasRoses · 16/01/2021 17:16

Do you think Billie let’s him see his kids? I hope not.. for their sake! I’ve always liked her, what on earth did she see in this tool?

Also, I don’t get it from him. He’s trying to be Hopkins. Except he’s an actor & has surely completely destroyed his career?! Why would you do that?

RubaiyatOfAnyone · 16/01/2021 17:24

He was my secret crush in Lewis for so long. It’s so disappointing to find out he’s an absolute tool. Am i still legally allowed to fancy DS Hathaway if i disown all knowledge of the actor Grin?

RubyViolet · 16/01/2021 17:24

It’s like he’s had post divorce slump / mid life crisis that’s turning into a serious breakdown in full public.
I don’t know if he can get his career back on track after all this.

Justa47 · 16/01/2021 17:26

@Covidcovid

I just wish he would shut up abs make a new Oxford detective series.

Hathaway!

puffinkoala · 16/01/2021 17:27

He's not very bright but he did show how easy it is to buy a lanyard from Amazon. There are lots of idiots out there, Fox is just a high profile one.

ComDummings · 16/01/2021 17:27

Don’t give him the attention he wants.

OakSun · 16/01/2021 17:29

Fuck me he’s delightful. Will covid deniers actually come back and change their views when they lose relatives and friends? Or does he just want to date Katie Hopkins?

Edgeoftheledge · 16/01/2021 17:29

Maybe he’s highlighting how easy it is to pretend you are exempt? Whats with all the Lawrence hate?

Edgeoftheledge · 16/01/2021 17:30

Or perhaps he didn't want to waste his GP’s time and his anxiety is stopping him wearing a mask?

Unsure33 · 16/01/2021 17:30

What an insult to those who have genuine problems.
Just to score political points from a pandemic.

Prat.

@Edgeoftheledge

To be fair, he's been a dick before.

Putting on Twitter that he had a party with all his friends hugging and having a great time.

So he has form.

So it's not beyond the realms of reason to assume he's being a dick again.

poorbuthappy · 16/01/2021 17:34

Isn't the point that we don't know who is exploiting the system?
Who are we to say he has or hasn't got anxiety??

inquietant · 16/01/2021 17:34

@Eesha

Yes this. He's a proper bore.
Pyewhacket · 16/01/2021 17:35

Loved him in "Lewis".

IcedPurple · 16/01/2021 17:36

@WankPuffins

He's fucked his career, hasn't he?

Twat.

Career was never all that. As an actor he's B list at best, and then only because of his family name. His real desire was to be a musician, but he never even came close to being succesful in that. But yes, he's probably messed up what passes for this career, except as a professional contrarian, without the wit and intelligence to back it up.
SmidgenofaPigeon · 16/01/2021 17:37

I love Billie Piper, she can act him under the table. She’s brilliant.

No one wants to work with him now, because he’s a twat, and everyone knows it. He can’t even do any theatre because there’s none to be had.

RickiTarr · 16/01/2021 17:37

Do you think Billie let’s him see his kids? I hope not.. for their sake! I’ve always liked her, what on earth did she see in this tool?

She tried to stop him but he went to the High Court and apparently now has shared residence or substantial access.

Good thing too. You can’t deprive a child of a parent just because the parent has become politically embarrassing and enjoys making a div of themselves on social media. It’s a shame but it’s not up there with drug addiction or violence.

WinstonWolf · 16/01/2021 17:38

A taxi driver from a local firm proudly showed off his sunflower lanyard and stated that the drivers had all bought them to get out of wearing masks.

Some people are just dicks.
