Deathday: Alive
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Laurence Fox (born 26 May 1978) is an English actor, musician, GB News broadcaster and right wing political activist. He is best known for his leading role as Detective Sergeant James Hathaway in the British TV drama series Lewis. He is the scion of a show business family: his father is the actor James Fox, and Edward Fox, Robert Fox and Daniel Chatto are all uncles. Fox publicly criticised the George Floyd protests and COVID-19 vaccines in 2020 and Pride and trans rights in 2023. After founding the right-wing populist political party Reclaim, he stood unsuccessfully in the 2021 London mayoral election in opposition to what he deemed "extreme political correctness". He gained 1.9% of the vote, thus losing his election deposit. Description above from the Wikipedia article Laurence Fox, licensed under CC-BY-SA, full list of contributors on Wikipedia.
