Laurence Fox Did Not Commit a Hate Crime When He Burned Pride Flags at Home, Met Police Rules

by Will Jones
24 June 2023 3:00 PM

The Met Police has cleared Laurence Fox of any wrongdoing after he was filmed setting fire to a row of Pride ‘progress’ flags on Father’s Day, calling them a celebration of “child mutilation”. The Mail has the story.

The progress flag – an amendment to the traditional gay Pride flag – includes a chevron with black, brown, baby blue and baby pink colours representing deaths from AIDS, Black Lives Matter, the transgender movement as well as a circle to signify intersex people.

It has become associated with promoting gender identity theory in the culture wars currently engulfing Britain.

An unrepentant Mr. Fox has defended burning the progress flag bunting in his back garden on Father’s Day, saying he has received thousands of messages of support since the stunt.

The actor-turned-political activist, who is preparing to compete for Boris Johnson’s Uxbridge and South Ruislip constituency, also insisted that he would welcome questioning from the Metropolitan Police after the force confirmed it was “assessing” the video.

Today, the Metropolitan Police said: “[We were] made aware of a video uploaded onto social media that showed the burning of a number of progress Pride flags. The footage was reviewed in full in conjunction with the Crown Prosecution Service. No criminal offences were identified as having been committed.

“The Metropolitan Police recognises that this incident has caused community concern and we take any allegation of hate crime seriously. We will continue to work alongside our partners to support and protect all our communities in London.”

Fox burned the flag in his back garden on Sunday in an astonishing stunt during Pride Month.

He was wearing a T-shirt with an image of a rainbow above the phrase “Comes Before A Fall” – hinting that the message being given was “Pride Comes Before A Fall”.

And Fox said in the video: “The most holy month of child mutilation. This is what I think of your disgusting, vile, child sacrificial flag.

“Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Pride, which isn’t Pride. It’s just a celebration of the mutilation of children. And you can shove it.”

Lesbians & gay men like me want their rainbow flag back – it’s been hijacked by the militant trans lobby, resulting in this revolting “progress flag” 🤮

Good for you @LozzaFox! Lots of gays are right behind you! x x pic.twitter.com/rt2KdJgJaW

The only crime committed here was by the police. Wasting police time.

Just the term “hate crime” makes me shudder.

When did hating something become a crime?

Terrifying, just terrifying.

I don’t think hatred comes naturally to most people. I think it’s usually in response to an event or stimulus. I find myself more inclined to hate certain groups the more I’m told I must love or respect or approve of them otherwise I will be considered Literally Hitler.

Who decides a word or action was motivated by hate? Apparently anyone hearing that word or seeing that action can decide it was hate and therefore it is infact HATE. —How bizarre.

It’s perfect. The more opaque and nebulous the crime definition, the more blanket control they can exert. It’s literally Orwell’s wrongthink.

Pity they don’t seem to take actual real crimes seriously any more.

John James is correct. Pride now has nothing to do with the gay community. I’ve even read of gays being called ”TERFs” by the trans loonies FFS! Just one example of how this whole shebang is now used as a vehicle for gender and trans ideologies to push on with their agenda to recruit the vulnerable and infect society with their poisonous madness;

”A female-only lesbian advocacy group in France was excluded from their local Pride parade on the basis that they did not allow the membership of trans-identified males. Femmes Entre Elles was labeled “transphobic” for restricting its advocacy to issues faced by women.
Femmes Entre Elles, which translates to “Women Among Themselves,” is a single-sex association for lesbian and bisexual women that has operated for over 30 years. It has been involved in campaigns to support women’s sex-based rights and the rights of lesbian women.
But on May 27, the group was informed via email that they were not welcome to participate in the annual Pride march in Rennes, which was held on June 17. Leading local LGBT center Iskis explained that the decision was made because Femmes Entre Elles did not welcome the membership of men who claim to be women.”

And these two peeps from the group Gays Against Groomers make a lot of sense in this short clip;

”There is indeed a “civil war” happening as some in the LGB community try to distance themselves from the TQIA++ because of the madness. Especially the grooming and indoctrination of minors in places like over-sexualized drag shows. They’re both standing with Olympus Spa and are against transgender women with penis’ entering this women only facility. Incredible insight from both of them.”

Trans activists are often anti gay and lesbian as research has shown that a lot of people who go through a gender questioning phase mature into happy well adjusted same sex attracted adults. Convincing them that they’re actually of a different gender is therefore highly damaging to a lot of young people who are gay or lesbian but have yet to figure out that’s their true sexuality. More gays and lesbians need to stand up against the idealogues e.g. by having nothing to do with stonewall or the traditional pride movement and joining the LGB Alliance.

Well there’s not a trans person in sight ( at least, not an attention-seeking ‘in yer face’ one anyway ) but I’d be interested in hearing what men think of Bud Light’s new ad. There’s like, zillions of other lagers and beers on the market so I think anyone who chooses to spend money on this kack is just mental tbh.

I don’t watch much TV nor am I exposed to much advertising in other contexts but I find the majority of the ads I see distasteful or annoying. A lot of them are blatantly political. The advertising industry must be quite a horrible one to work in.

On the back of the bus in front of me at this moment is a police advert telling me that saying “nice legs, Hun” is a hate crime and gives me a number to report it to!

“Everything is now policed except crime.”————I think I heard that on the Mark Steyn Show . ————–Hey Mark we love you mate. Maybe Laurence Fox could have really confused the police though had he burned a golliwog.
