Laurence Fox, former actor turned political activist, has found himself at the centre of another controversy, this time involving journalist Sangita Myska. Known for his outspoken views, Fox’s recent remarks have stirred anger and debate, particularly those aimed at Myska.
The Incident
The controversy unfolded on X (formerly Twitter), where Fox posted a series of comments about Myska. One of his statements—telling her she was “not welcome in my country”—was widely condemned as racially charged and offensive, especially considering Myska’s British nationality. The exchange prompted Myska to report Fox’s remarks to the Metropolitan Police, describing them as a hate crime.
Public and Media Reaction
The response on social media was immediate and fierce. Many users labelled Fox’s comments as “hate-filled” and “vile,” expressing disbelief that he had not faced legal consequences for this and other past actions. These include sharing an explicit image of another broadcaster and encouraging damage to ULEZ cameras. Some have raised concerns about a “two-tier policing” system, suggesting that individuals with controversial or far-right views are not held accountable in the same way as others.
Sangita Myska’s Response
Sangita Myska, a respected journalist and broadcaster, took swift action in response to Fox’s comments. She reported the exchange as a hate crime to the police.
