Lawrence Fox (English actor, z-list) puts up a tesselated pride flag that resembles a swastika. India Willoughby (self-proclaimed 'World’s 1st trans newsreader') considers it a hate crime and, you'll be relieved to know, has called the police on him.

Even weirder is that India used to be very right wing until GB News started broadcasting and then suddenly changed all his political opinions over night.

But I guess that's probably the very definition of a personality disorder.

I find it interesting that this guy uses their own flags in a pretty casual arrangement, and the other one instantly sees the swastika but apparently misses entirely what it's made of.

He wasn’t z-list. He fronted a successful TV series and was married to Billie Piper and related to Edward and James Fox (nephew, I think). He wasn’t A-list, but far from Z-list.

Lawrence Fox is an odd chap. He had a successful acting career, as part of the Fox dynasty, and could have kept his mouth shut and done well for himself but he couldn’t accept that he, as a straight, white, man should kowtow to the prevailing opinion (doing so on national TV no less) and as a result has been made into a pariah - with even his family distancing themselves from him. For this reason I have a bit more time for Fox than I would do otherwise, he has lost more than he’s gained from airing his opinions.

Britain is a horrible nanny state, they don't have freedom of speech. The accusor is probably acting lawfully.

It wasn't that long ago they even had talk of banning kitchen knvies without a blunted tip. The aptly named, iconic and classic Ikon Wusthof Classic would have been illegal.

United Kingdom, and the United States in which Twitter is based, both have made it legal to display the Nazi flag and Nazi related symbolism, as well as legal to deny the holocaust. What exactly are they going to prosecute cunt?

No really though, that’s very fucking creative to symbolise the new flag for what it is.
