Laurence Fox on cancel culture: ‘You can’t just shut everybody up’

Laurence Fox has said attempts to “cancel” him because of his opinions will not work.

Speaking with talkRADIO’s Julia Hartley-Brewer, the actor and musician said there had been a “concerted drive to make [him] be quiet” since he was caught up in a racism row on Question Time earlier this year.

He said: “You can’t just shut everybody up, there’s an emotional and intellectual fragility to people who won’t tolerate dissenting voices.

“Actually we need to talk and debate, otherwise the cancel culture creates an even more myopic monoculture and who wants that?”
