Non-UK people should read up about Laurence Fox if they want a good laugh.

Some career highlights:

  • Destroyed his acting career and his marriage by being an upper class right wing shit.
  • Destroyed his subsequent gig as a right wing pundit on GB News by being too misogynist on air.
  • Called some drag queens paedophiles after they called him racist. He was sued for defamation and he countersued. He lost on both counts.
  • Stood for election as an MP and lost his deposit.
  • Stood for election as London Mayor and lost his deposit.
  • Tried to stand for election as London Mayor a second time and didn't get on the ballot because he didn't fill in the paperwork correctly
  • Stood for election to the London Assembly and lost his deposit.

To be fair to him, on his first run at London Mayer, he did get nearly twice as many votes as Count Binface, a candidate who claims to be from space and wears a dustbin on his head.

Not sure about Count Binface since I don't really follow UK politics, but if he's anything like Vermin Supreme his platform is likely both preferable to and more realistic than the mainstream conservative party candidates' plans.
