You Are Already Living in 1984 | Laurence Fox | EP 411

Hate is a really difficult. We mustn't hate people, but if I was to hate Sadik Khan and what he stands for, it's something so close to what that feeling must [Music] be.

Hello everybody. I have the privilege of speaking today with actor Lawrence Fox. We start by talking about his recent legal trouble in the UK. Lawrence was arrested recently, uh, because of his stated support for the activists in the UK who are interfering with the imposition of the closed circuit television cameras designed to monitor everyone's movement under the purported guise of anti-pollution and saving the planet.

Um, there's a lot of CCTV cameras in England monitoring people to a much greater degree than I think is justifiable in a free society, and Lawrence took a stance against that and has paid a legal price for doing so. He's also suffered uh substantial disruption of his acting career as a consequence of his political stance, which has been pillared by people on the left as fascist. As anything that's liberal, or even moderately, let's see, moderately conservative or even liberal tends to be these days.

And so we talk about, while we talk about his legal trouble, we talk about his ability to act out dark characters and what that means psychologically and practically. We talk about the relationship between freedom of speech and the propagation of truth through psyche and society, um, pointing in no small part to the fact that there's a real valuable freedom that comes along with just saying what you think, you know, carefully and clearly.

The cost of that, especially in ideologically addled times, can be the savaging of reputation and the price you might pay in terms of career development. But the advantage is the freedom of conscience and the ability to live in truth that comes along with actually saying what you believe to be true. So we're going to wander through all that territory. Welcome aboard.

So, Lawrence, I thought we'd start um right at the heart of the matter, or one of the many black hearts of the matter, you might say. I've been following your recent persecution, I would say, by the legal establishment in the UK. I came across this, what was happening to you, of course because of Twitter primarily. I've been following you for a long time on Twitter, and I've also been watching with mounting apprehension the operation of the progressives in London.

It looks to me like Sadik Khan and his London Administration are at the forefront of the C40 consortium implementation of the C40 consortium plans. I've reviewed them; they've put them out in stark black and white, and they include propositions like the elimination of 95% of all forms of private transportation over the next 10 years, something like that. So there won't be any cars, which is why we're all being enjoined, let's say, to buy the electric cars for which we have an insufficient supply of electricity.

Let's say that we're going to be required to buy something like three articles of clothing a year, to have one short-haul flight per person every three years, which of course would devastate the entire tourism industry that basically keeps much of Europe afloat. Uh, to stop eating meat, etc., etc. And one of the steps in that direction seems to be the establishment of these ultra-low emission zones, which are there as far as I'm concerned not in the least to help the goddamn planet, but to stop people from—what would you say? To stop—to discourage people in the patterns of consumption that the progressives regard as planet demolishing.

And now I know there's been a big protest emerge in London in particular with regards to the cameras that the power mongering globalist utopians have decided to employ every which way to keep an eye on every bloody thing that everyone does, and that these Blade Runner types—so-called Blade Runner types—have been demolishing these cameras.

And you have tweeted out your support for that, and I've retweeted that and indicated my support as well in a relatively tongue-in-chic manner, but still directly you got arrested. I went to the UK a month ago; they left me alone, which, you know, I suppose doe...
