Re: GB News (New UK News channel coming soon)

Any examples of where he was "cancelled out of is former acting career for speaking his own held views", please?

I can't find any evidence where he was turned down for jobs because of his views - it would appear that someone he appeared on a TV series with didn't want to associate with him, and his agent decided not to work with him, but besides that, can't find anything...

In text messages shared by Fox, Front told the actor politely that while she wishes him and his sons well, his insistence in using #AllLivesMatter over #BlackLivesMatter had “tipped [her] over the edge” and that she was “uncomfortable about the company you’re keeping”.

Fox tweeted the exchange and wrote: “This is the most painful cancellation I have had yet. From someone I spent 10 happy years working with, many lovely family dinners and lots and lots of laughs. Someone I thought was a friend.”

The actor has since apologised for making “a private conversation public just to make a point”, and Front has accepted the apology – but screenshots last forever.
The reason his agent may have dropped him may have been the fact he called people who disagreed with him "paedophiles"...

The controversial Lewis star said on Twitter that his agent 'let me go on the phone' in a move which reaffirmed 'exactly why I am doing what I’m doing'.

Last month, Fox was embroiled in bitter Twitter spats with a number of people who called him a 'racist'. He replied making unsubstantiated claims that they were 'paedophiles'. He later deleted the tweets.
Sounds like someone is trying to make a career out of something that didn't actually happen, just stoking up outrage to get money and publicity...
