0:00.0	Hello everyone. Hello everybody I have the privilege of speaking today with actor Lawrence Fox.
0:21.4	We start by talking about his recent legal trouble in the UK.
0:27.0	Lawrence was arrested recently because of his stated support for the activists in the UK who are interfering with the imposition of the closed circuit television
0:48.1	cameras designed to monitor everyone's movement under the purported guise of anti-pollution and saving the
0:58.2	planet. There's a lot of CCTV cameras in England monitoring people to a much greater degree than I think is
1:08.5	justifiable in a free society and Lawrence took a stance against that and has paid a legal price for doing so.
1:15.1	He's also suffered substantial disruption of his acting career as a consequence of his
1:22.2	political stance,
1:23.7	which has been pilloried by people on the left
1:25.9	as fascist as anything that's liberal or even moderately,

2:07.6	The cost of that, especially in ideologically addled times can be the savaging of reputation and the price you might pay in terms of career development, but the advantage is the freedom of conscience and the ability to live in truth that comes
2:27.4	along with actually saying what you believe to be true. So we're going to wander through all that territory. Welcome aboard.
2:37.2	So, Lawrence, I thought we'd start right at the heart of the matter or one of the many black hearts of the matter, you might say,
2:45.0	I've been following your recent persecution, I would say, by the legal establishment in the UK.
2:54.0	I came across this what was happening to you of course because of Twitter. Primarily I've been following you for a long time on Twitter. And I've also been watching with mounting apprehension
