Laurence Fox launched his new project with the most cringeworthy promo you’ll see anytime soon
It’s been a bad week for Laurence Fox.
The comments that saw him suspended, then sacked, from GB News have been ruled by Ofcom to have broken broadcasting rules, which was a bit of a no-brainer.

He had to discontinue his attempt to sue Mukhtar Ali Yassin for defamation after he called the former actor and failed London Mayoral candidate racist, costing Fox thousands in legal costs.
What @LozzaFox has just claimed is false and defamatory. He has not just "discontinued" his case against me. He has agreed to it being dismissed. He also agreed to pay thousands in legal costs to drop his claim. He has lawyers he knows what "dismissal" means. Fox lost. https://t.co/RGedW7CCsQ

Thursday night saw his attempt to claw back some sort of a win – and, presumably, an income stream – with the launch of a new project with his fellow GB News reject, Calvin Robinson.
The video is even more cringeworthy.

Once they’d recovered from the secondhand embarrassment, people had quite a lot to say about the promo.

This looks like a bona fide horror movie. Was that their intention? pic.twitter.com/aIljC3I1V7

These 2 guys:
Laurence Fox
Fr Cardew Robinson
They smoke cigars
Don’t just smoke ‘em
Devour ‘em
Their conkers are big
Their sausages are herby.
They spit
They pray
They throb.
These guys are hard
So hard they don’t wash
They just lick.

Great name. Fox & Father draws a clear distinction between Laurence Fox and being a father. https://t.co/3TR85dLViF

I feel like Laurence Fox is in dire need of an intervention.
"Ohh look at me, I smoke!".

Laurence Fox: “hey kids! I smoke! Just like a pissy old man coughing his guts up at the bookies at 11am or a nan standing outside a hospital with her drip in place. Isn’t that cool!”

Same energy as when 14 year olds get hold of Elf Bars and their dads oversized business clothes and take photos looking "gangsta" https://t.co/Lp1LfXS2Tz

Truth Checkers gave it an upgrade.
Laurence Fox and Calvin Robinson’s new venture has a trailer. It’s trying to be cool and gritty, like a Tarantino movie. This one’s better tho…

We don’t know what the viewing figures were like, but we’re absolutely certain that this would improve them.
Can I feature on episode 2? And call it Fox hunting with Mukhtar. https://t.co/b05pLxdjNc
