What do you even say. Laurence Fox, actor turned unpleasant right-wing activist, libelled two men as 'paedophiles' after they called him racist. The courts had their say: he lost on all counts. I speak to drag queen Crystal, who he smeared - who tells us all about the case, and also why it has a much bigger meaning.Support this show <a target="_blank" rel="payment" href="http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast">http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast</a>.<hr> Hosted on Acast.

Laurence Fox Defeated In Court: Crystal, Who He Targeted, Spills It All

Owen Jones, journalist, author of Chavs and The Establishment, or "that left-wing idiot off the telly", is fed up with the establishment media. After all, it punches down, not up, blames minorities for all the problems in society, and, let's face it, often just parrots the government line. So this podcast is offering something different: speaking truth to power, giving the marginalised a voice, offering hope - and having a laugh along the way. From Michael Sheen to Judith Butler, Prof. Devi Sridhar to Noam Chomsky, Peter Hitchens to Chelsea Manning and Gary Younge to Stewart Lee, the interviewees couldn't be more eclectic. Expect documentaries, too, exposing injustice and going to enemy territory - and discussions with experts on everything from COVID dreams about the pandemic to the history of US-backed coups. We'll learn a lot - but above all else, have our optimism in a better world rebooted.
