Sending him abuse, calling him made-up swears like a wankpuffin or a cuntweasel just give him the audience that those sending him such tweets oddly enough would prefer that he didn't have. The man is at it - he's a male Katie Hopkins and is seeing the pound signs that her little schtik produced before she started racking up the court appearances. He is taunting for a "cancellation" so he can grift it; he knows what he's doing and the abuse and pile ons are playing into his hands. Ignore him. Block him, mute him or whatever, but don't engage. He'll probably start a good whinge about free speech, but this does not bring with it the right to an audience. Deprive him of his audience and he will fade away. I think since Katie Hopkins has met with numerous open fascist groups and been detained for spreading racial hatred it is fair to say she believes what she says. Her hatred of migrants, refugees, Muslims and numerous other groups of people appears sincere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right, people like Julia Hartley-Brewer, Melanie Phillips, Claire Fox etc manage to avoid bankruptcy and cancellation by paying attention to the red lines, she seems to be a true believer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanie Phillips is another true believer. She's only avoiding cancellation because her employers tacitly agree with her hatred of Muslims. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it started with a grift and saw her going down the rabbit hole I don't know, but I agree that these are her genuine views being expressed now. The 'grift' as it were started off with general trolling before gradually descending into racism. She still pulled in the appearances, only really being removed from the mainstream by costing her employers too much money in defamation claims. Lucrative work until you make an arse of it. Fox I'm not so sure about. I don't think he's in the same league as Hopkins, but he's currently Katie Hopkins before she jumped the shark - enough to keep. The grift alive. I do think he is generally aware of where the line is, but that tweet about the kneeling crossed it and was begging for a cancellation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen that tweet come up a few times now and whilst I know of Fox to be a bellend, I'm not sure what it means. Is he suggesting that taking a knee is in fact supporting rapists? Or that we shouldn't take the knee because some black people are bad? Maybe I'm giving him too much credit even thinking about it this much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm giving him too much credit even thinking about it this much.Combination of both I'd say. I read it as him effectively saying 'this is the kind of person you're taking the knee for' and by doing so he's insinuating all black people are 'bad'. The guy is a complete c**t of a man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I always remember seeing this tweet, a few people I follow approvign of it and many more ripping it. Turns out the author of the tweet as well as being someone who, as far as I can tell, writes for various publications about the political interpretations of comics and superhero movies, is the comms director for an organisation that bills itself as a child protection foundation but in reality campaigns for the "de-stigmatization" of "MAPs" - MAP being Minor Attracted Persons, ie paedophiles. The guy has locked his account now but defended the organisation as being somehow progressive. These people exist on Twitter, who don't seem to ban them for some reason. There's a funny coalition behind it, some left people see it as being against reactionary views of sexuality and libertarians see it as a free speech issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
