"I just think that safe spaces are essentially kind of promoting segregation, and I think it's backwards."
Laurence Fox tells LBC why he decided to boycott a supermarket chain over Black History Month.
Speaking to LBC's Nick Ferrari actor and leader of the Reclaim Party Laurence Fox said he thought people were scared to speak because of fears over a PC culture.
He said British values were "the things you learn around the dinner table when you're a child," actor cited "robust argument, the ability to disagree and remain friends, politeness, fairness, these sorts of things."
When Nick asked "where have they gone then?" Mr Fox said he felt "people are scared to speak at the moment for fear of the repercussions that will happen if they say the wrong thing."
He told LBC people were afraid of being "cancelled."
When asked to point to examples of that Mr Fox said he was an example, "that lovely welder in Burnley, there are hundreds."
When asked which welder he was referring to Mr Fox said: "He was the one who did the white lives matter banner over the stadium."
This led to Nick asking the actor why he has " a problem with Sainsbury's marking Black History Month."
"I don't at all," was the instant reply but he said it "would be interesting if there was also Jewish history month and Muslim history month."
He said his "issue" with the supermarket was "that they were saying they were creating safe spaces for their black employees."
He said this "doesn't take too much mental gymnastics to think that might be sort of promoting segregation in a way."
"Seeing as this country is tolerant and becoming more tolerant, I don't know why it assumes that you may not be safe around white people."
When Nick Ferrari challenged him pointing out "neither of us are black, we don't know what it's like," Mr Fox said " all we can go in is the polling on these things."
Nick asked if those people feel like they need a safe space then "is it wrong for a supermarket to facilitate that?"
"I just think that safe spaces are essentially kind of promoting segregation, and I think it's backwards and we want to look forwards."
