The World According to Laurence Fox
I’ll level with you from the outset; I’ve never really liked Laurence Fox. Well, that’s a lie, as I always enjoyed his portrayal of Sgt Hathaway in Lewis. I wish he’d stuck to that sort of thing. Ever since his foray into politics with his car crash of an appearance on Question Time, he just hasn’t been my cup of tea. Which is interesting because he’s often put into a “camp” of sorts with people who I do have a lot of time for, i.e. those who believe in free speech, old-fashioned liberalism, challenging authorities/narratives, scepticism, disdain of all major political parties and how they’re so similar to each other etc. etc.

Americans think of red and blue as deeply associated with the Republican and Democratic parties, but that's only been the case since the election of 2000. That's what the election night results looked like on American television. - Kennedy's victory, sir, let me tell you this. If they ever teach this machine to talk, you and I won't work. The widespread use of color television in the late 1960s and 1970s changed everything. But it would take several more decades before the media would adapt to the current color scheme - which rooms are the hardest to change from blue to red? Which ones are easy? -President Obama won all those blue states. -He must turn the voting statuses blue. To understand where this red state, blue state business came from, let's go back to when network television first used color charts to announce election results.

It truly is a time for controversies and celebrities to shine within this last month, isn't it? From Colleen Ballinger (whom I was writing about during this time) Doja Cat, and now, Lizzo. It seems like people are getting in trouble left and right. I basically just woke up one day, checked the news, and found the internet in a tizzy! Why? Because some people who worked with Lizzo in the not so far past, came forward with some intriguing and shocking information about the working environment Lizzo put them in. To put it briefly, about 3 of the dancers who were one Lizzo's show Watch Out for the Big Grrrls, came forward and explained that Lizzo created a hostile work environment for the dancers, which included things like body shaming, sexual harassment, among other things, which I will discuss in full detail later.
