I'd be very careful what people post on here now regarding motive.

It is sub judice.

He’s been “cancelled” before. I couldn’t remember what for so I googled his Wikipedia.

Turns out he’s a rather unfunny chap.


From his wiki page;

In July 2021, following the defeat of the England national football team in the final of the UEFA Euro 2020 competitionon penalties to Italy, Lawrence tweeted that "All I'm saying is the white guys scored". After Twitter users challenged him, he quoted his original tweet, stating that "I can see that this has offended a lot of people, and I'm sorry that black guys are bad at penalties. ". Following the incident, multiple venues cancelled his upcoming shows and publicly denounced his comments as racist. He was also dropped by his agent.[18][19] In

Jesus, that's so much worse than his comment about Liverpool. Why were venues happy to have him at all?

I read that the drug driving allegation was dropped and there was no evidence of alcohol or drugs.

Drug results take a while to come back from the lab. It's possible they've charged him with the other stuff and remanded him in custody for his own protection and will add any drug driving offences on to the indictment in due course if the results come back over the limit.

Or there may be no evidence of drugs. Either is possible.

I guess it’s like that current Paul Smith comedian. While punters are paying venues to see him, they’ll host him. No matter how distasteful/unfunny he is.

When the venues see a public backlash, they drop them like a bad habit.

I mean you’re correct.

But actually motive is the one thing that isn’t harmful to speculate about.

Still, best to err on the side of caution. You’re quite right.
