No it's not. A brief overview can be seen on wiki. To be honest mate these kinds of threads tend to attract people who come in and 'just ask questions' until they end up showing that they agree with the person, or ideology, the thread is about which is why people are being a bit hostile. Especially as you could have just googled him and read the first result.

Obviously not.
Mid 40's. I'm getting all those references and remember when the Trocadero was a cracking arcade.
Oh, look at the man of the people in his cravat, the fecking prick.
Trocadero was still a cracking arcade in the early to mid 00s.
Arcades became shite after the Street Fighter/Mortal Kombat games started appearing. I'm old school when it comes to coin-ops.
Hope thisbhelps. Here's a few examples of things that have kept the Fox hate train alive and kicking since his Question Time "playing the card card is getting boring" and "how dare you say I'm privileged" tirade that was followed by his monumentally fast progression into loudmouth campaigner who complains that nobody listens to him;
- he called on people to boycott Sainsbury's for supporting Black History Month.
- accused BLM of being racist
- he called a mental health campaigner a peadophile and then excused it by responding with "Free speech. You throw meaningless and baseless insults at someone you get a meaningless and baseless insult in return."
- basically plays Contrarian to every widely held belief to keep himself in the spotlight. And it works because we're still talking about him. Help us.

That's from one google search and randomly picking articles.
They became shite when it cost more than 10p to play
I like Morgan Freeman's view on Black History Month.
That Black History Month is ridiculous because it should just be American History? Absolutely, it's a great view.
Not sure how it applies to a British guy who said “Dear @sainsburys. I won’t be shopping in your supermarket ever again whilst you promote racial segregation and discrimination,” to a British company celebrating BHM (who tweeted “We proudly represent and serve our diverse society and anyone who does not want to shop with an inclusive retailer is welcome to shop elsewhere.”) and then later clarified his remarks with "go woke, go broke" and oh, wait, you were using whataboutism weren't you?
When putting the threadmarks in, I noticed quite a lot of his previous tweets that were posted here have been deleted
We could go further here too.
There were Black Britons living on this island 500 years before the English arrived.
But I suppose old Foxy doesn't really understand history or nuance or the concept of accuracy.
It's PC gone mad.
Wait wait wait! The Trocadero isn't a video arcade anymore?
TWEET: Fox says "there is no need to vaccinate the healthy, much as there is no need to quarantine the healthy"
just cut the crap and tell us why you think we're wrong
Why are the idiots always the first to call things stupid*?
*Obviously it's because they're so fecking dense that they don't remotely understand what they're talking about, but I also think there are other possible factors such as a false sense of entitlement, generally being an arsehole etc.
I had no idea that there were black britons before the english arrived. Was it through the roman empire?
I was having a nice cider in the sun, and I had to go and read the comments under that didn’t I.
“There is no need to vaccinate the healthy”
Does he know what a vaccine is?
Does he know what a vaccine is?
£5 says he quietly gets it anyway
I want him to get covid, the wanker.
Basically yes.
I've copied and pasted the following, so excuse the lecturing tone:
The island of Britannia was conquered by the Romans in 43AD by the Emperor Claudius. African soldiers were in Britannia by 210AD and permanently stationed here by 253-258AD.
The Anglo-Saxons, who established the Kingdom of England, only arrived here in the middle of the 5th century.
There were also Roman citizens, everyday people, who moved and settled in the Roman province.
It has been estimated that 10% of the population of Roman York – Eboracum – was Afro-Roman.
The Beachy Head Lady, who was discovered in the 1950s. An Afro-Roman who lived during the 2nd century, with sub-Saharan African ancestry, showing her family came from beyond the Roman Empire to the South (https://museumcrush.org/the-mystery-of-beachy-head-lady-a-roman-african-from-eastbourne/)
And this is the “Ivory Bangle Lady”, discovered in York. She lived in the 4th century, and was buried with ivory, pendants, beads, earrings, and a blue glass jug, indicating that she was well-off. She was also buried with a rectangular mount of bone, which reads “Hail, sister, may you live in God”, indicating that she was likely Christian (https://www.yorkshiremuseum.org.uk/collections/collections-highlights/ivory-bangle-lady/).
The English are genetically generally a mix of Celtic, German, French and Nordic heritage. It was thought for a long time that the Germanic Anglo Saxons didn’t intermarry with existing communities so the English had a largely Germanic genetic heritage. A recent study into the genetic history of Britain found that there was only one area in England where the people were majority Germanic genetically and in most areas of England the genetic heritage was very mixed.

I think this is the most stupid thing he's ever said. Considering the amount of shit he talks, that's impressive.
That's about when the Genesis and SNES came out too, finally giving arcade graphics to the home consumer.
Interesting although I imagine that “Aftican” mainly refers to the coastal regions of North Africa and Egypt given the provinces of that region were important and wealthy parts of the Roman Empire.
Also sub Saharan Africa too from the genetic tests on some skeletons, interestingly.
Almost certainly Numidian, I would think.
Yeah but it couldn't replicate standing in a dimly-lit arcade with pumping music, your mates watching your exploits while your fag burns the glass and a load of 10ps jangling in your pocketses.
Putting aside the most obvious issue with this, who the feck is Leo Kearse? And just as importantly, is it pronounced like 'Curse'?
Why? He's your cnut.
They're just UKIP for even bigger idiots, anyway. They'll go away in a couple of years.
Is that an actual picture of Farage in the comments?
Yeah he nearly died in a plane crash. How differently history may have turned out if he had.
Holy shit, never knew that.
If only things had been a slight bit different for y’all...
Definetly enjoyed Max's series on this.
