I want to share this with you because it has to be one of the best songs I have heard in a very long time. Laurence Fox, once married to Billie Piper of Dr Who fame, the man who played Hathaway in the series " Lewis " went from hero to zero because he dared to call out the insanity of the politically correct cultists.
Early in 2020, Laurence Fox rejected the idea of political correctness and identity politics and spoke in favour of free speech. He was on a panel of the tax payer funded leftie luvvie BBC political show Question Time, After expressing his Conservative opinion the left-wing activists were like attack dogs and in one moment, he had committed career suicide. His acting career was over.
Not to be deterred, he has started his own political party and it is based on the promotion and belief in free speech and old fashioned conservative values.
“We’ll be reclaiming the language, the bravery to have an opinion, to make mistakes and move on. The debate has been shut down by all the language Nazis. We don’t need the new normal. The new normal doesn’t look very nice to me." he said.
Laurence Fox is a supporter of President Trump and is a voice of sanity in this increasingly insane world.
When I watched the Trump Rally in Arizona this morning, Nigel Farage gave a short speech. It was one of the best endorsements of normality under Trump I have heard. I must say that I wish that Laurence and Nigel could band together - what a force they could be.
Anyway, back to the song.I have placed the lyrics below and urge you to watch the clip of him performing it.
Thankfully, he has had a haircut and a shave since then. Shame about the tattoo but maybe he just had a bad night with mates and woke up thinking " what the hell have I done? "
No matter. At the end of the day, Fox has my admiration for his courage and strength of conviction.
He said of Trump:
‘I don’t know how any man could survive what they’ve put him through. All the bullshit Russian collusion and impeachment stuff. He just seems to take it in his stride.’
As his character James Hathaway said in Lewis " [quoting from the Night Keeper comic series] "There's a line between good and evil no wider than a razor's edge"
Probably just as well he had that shave. Because that razor is a real cut throat.
They have put something in the water
They seek a cure for the conversation
They stole a march on your indecision
And the first to fall is laughter
Just to quell the long offended
They seek to murder your opinion
The light has been turned down on the age of reason
Replaced by blinding fires that burn wild across the region
For the wrong to rule
The good must just stand idly by
So I need you more than ever
Need your hands in this resistance
If we're going to go the distance
And if I ever doubt it
I think about my future
And if i want to live there
The world outside is wondrous wide for a reason
And if you can't decide, you must blow your own mind for that reason
For the wrong to rule
The good must just stand idly by
It can be hard to know what feeling
What with all the lies that you're reading
If it's hard to say, you may mean it
Don't be lost thinking about tomorrow
When today is what you are living
Make today your new beginning
The light has been turned down on the age of reason
Replaced by blinding fires that burn wild across the region
For the wrong to rule
The good must just stand idly by
So I need you more than ever
Need your hands in this resistance
If we're going to go the distance
And if I ever doubt it
I think about my future
And if i want to live there
The world outside is wondrous wide for a reason
And if you can't decide, you must blow your own mind for that reason
For the wrong to rule
The good must just stand idly by
