I political party opposing Woke! Where have you been my entire life?

The actor Laurence Fox is launching a political party to fight the culture wars after raising over £1 million, including substantial sums from former Tory donors, the Telegraph can disclose.

Fox hopes to stand dozens of candidates for his new party at the next general election to provide a political movement for people who are "tired of being told that we represent the very thing we have, in history, stood together against".

His aims include reforming publicly-funded institutions, likely to include the BBC, and celebrating Britain's history and global contribution.

The new party (provisionally called "Reclaim") could launch as soon as next month. The party's name is subject to approval by the Electoral Commission. Papers are due to be submitted to the electoral regulator in the middle of this week.

In a statement to the Telegraph, Fox said: "Over many years it has become clear that our politicians have lost touch with the people they represent and govern.

"Moreover, our public institutions now work to an agenda beyond their main purpose. Our modern United Kingdom was borne out of the respectful inclusion of so many individual voices.

"It is steeped in the innate values of families and communities, diverse in the truest sense but united in the want and need to call this island home.

"The people of the United Kingdom are tired of being told that we represent the very thing we have, in history, stood together against.

"We are all privileged to be the custodians of our shared heritage. We can reclaim a respectful nation where all are included and none are ashamed to have somewhere to call home.

"I have been so encouraged by the support I have received by those wishing to add their voices to this reclamation of our values.

"Our country is now in desperate need of a new political movement which promises to make our future a shared endeavour, not a divisive one. This is now my endeavour."

One Westminster source described the new party as a version of the UK Independence Party for the culture wars which could attract hundreds of thousands of disaffected Tory voters at the next general election.

The source said: "This is basically a Ukip for culture and is exactly what the Tory party should be frightened about."

Sources close to Reclaim stressed that it did not see itself as of the left or right in British politics insisting "it is a broad church, acknowledging left and right are dying distinctions".

Reclaim has three stated objectives, according to plans seen by the Telegraph.

The first is "to promote an open space through full protection of the fundamental freedoms of speech, expression, thought, association and academic inquiry. To stand in full opposition to laws and other measures which undermine those freedoms".

The second objective is "to reform publicly-funded, controlled and operated institutions to ensure that they deliver on their primary purpose, free from political bias or agendas beyond their scope.

"This program of reform will cover, although not be exclusive to, our system of democracy, education, law enforcement, the civil service, public media, charitable organisations and other non-governmental organisations in receipt of public funds."

The third objective is "to preserve and celebrate our shared national history, cultural inheritance and global contribution".

Planning has been underway for the past two months.

More than £1 million had been pledged from business people including former Tory donor Jeremy Hosking. A spokesman for Mr Hosking declined to comment.

A staff to run the party is currently being recruited ahead of Reclaim's expected launch next month.

Rada-educated Fox, 42, the son of actor James Fox, is best known for playing the lead role of DS James Hathaway in the British TV drama series Lewis from 2006 to 2015.

But he burst onto the political scene in January when he hit back at the media's treatment of the Duchess of Sussex, amounted to "racism", telling the audience on BBC 1's QuestionTime: "It's not racism... we're the most tolerant, lovely country in Europe."

Fox also attracted attention on the BBC programme for comments about climate change. Joking about the hypocrisy of celebrities who fly regularly, Fox said: "The carbon footprint's huge. But we make up for it by preaching to everyone how they should change their life."

You should really want the republicans to win considering the democrats hate our guts. Trump is very pro-British. 

They don’t hate our guts they just agree that breaking international law and the Good Friday Agreement is on balance not a great idea. Also Trump is very pro Trump. He couldn’t give a fuck about us or anybody else if it doesn’t benefit him personally.

The Good Friday Agreement isn't being broken by anyone.

The democrats used to send money to the IRA at the height of the Troubles. The republicans have usually been more pro-British.

The curious thing about remainers is, despite being besotted with the idea of Britain remaining in the European Union, they have very little actual interest in European politics or sometimes even Europe in toto, instead focusing most of their attention to events in America! You never see them discussing Belorussian politics with the same passion they put into American affairs! Where are their discussions on the EU's corona recovery plan, or Navalny? These are all huge events/issues with seismic consequences, but nope. It is ''Trump...Trump....Trump'' instead! 

Maybe they are that thick that they are mistaking the two organisations, the EU and the USA? It is a possibility! There are not many brain cells rolling around in the heads of remainers.

Boris makes romantic sounding Disraelian one nation ''Yer Olde England'' noises, with some Churchillian ''our island history'' lines scattered here-and-there. It sounds impressive for those who rejected Corbynism in 2019, a government that is light of touch and grounded in common sense and tradition, but the fact is he is now the most Orwellian prime minister the United Kingdom has possessed, and Hancock is now entering ''survival of the fittest'' levels of lockdown lunacy. Ironically, Sturgeon is a fitting bedfellow, presiding over Scotland's Soviet. Cops are behaving like the Stasi, whilst the nation, at large, is now becoming a servile multitude of curtain twitchy snoopers and state informers.

You are somebody who likes having an officious looking person's hand up your bum, so I don't suppose this Orwellian stuff concerns you much. If centuries old liberty is destroyed, you cannot rebuild it.

Yeah, let's all burn the magna carta because you're a fanny and can't wear a mask without crying. Utter shite! :lol:

Thing is I didn't even mention masks so your entire argument is another straw man.

Okay then. Assuming that you didn't understand what I was actually saying (which I'm sure you did), can you please explain why British liberty is dead?

your joke would work better if you mentioned the bill of rights (1689) in stead of the magna carta. the magna carta doesn't really mention much in terms of individual rights
