I’ve been looking at some of the people behind Lozza ‘Loser’ Fox & his new party.
The 1st thread looked at his PR company of mostly ex-Telegraph staffers, to show that they - not he - should be taken seriously
But this 2nd one is a comic tale
A rom-com even

After all, throw a party for a clown, expect a circus.
Or in this case, Darren Selkus.
Former soldier, businessman, & failed Brexit Party candidate.
A man it’s hard to take seriously.

He blew his cover when he posted the privacy policy on the new Looza Party website, (hat-tip to Guido).
So, we *know* Darren helped build the site.
But if the first thread was about serious professionals, Dazza is very much the comic amateur...

Selkus gained some notoriety last year, when, angry at some Tory MPs, he posted a video of himself saying he was taking his kids to the Tower of London to “show them how the UK used to deal with traitors who are committing treason”

For that, Darren managed to make The Indy’s top ‘100 of the most hilarious Brexit moments from the three most ridiculous years in British politics’, scraping in at number 90.
But that wasn’t the only time he managed to make the papers... https://www.indy100.com/article/brexit-day-boris-johnson-nigel-farage-theresa-may-eu-9308621

... in November, Dazza was in the news again, turning out in full kit on Remembrance Day to lay a wreath on behalf of the Brexit Party.
The British Legion wasn’t impressed at the use of the uniform for political purposes.
Even worse for Dazza... https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-party-army-uniform-wreath-remembrance-sunday-darren-selkus-a9200326.html

... by the time the video came out, Farage had pulled the plug on those standing against sitting Tory MPs.
Dazza was “shattered”, writing:
“I don’t understand why Nigel Farage has betrayed my incredible volunteers and thousands of constituents who will have no one to vote for”

And there was more betrayal to come.
In response to the video, Brexit Party spokesman Gawain Towler said there was nothing wrong with Mr Selkus’ behaviour, but added:
"I am not going to waste my time defending a former candidate.”
Ouch.

Dazza had became a parliamentary candidate in May, just 10 days after joining the Brexit Party, promising:
“I only got involved in politics to get us out of the EU and once that is achieved will have accomplished my personal mission.” https://www.essexmagazine.co.uk/2019/09/column-darren-selkus-i-only-got-involved-in-politics-to-get-us-out-of-the-eu/

...but politics is a drug, and promises are made to be broken
As chairman of the family wooden veneer company, he can see in actor Fox material he can work with to front a NEW party!
A month ago, on August 25th, he is desperately trying to get Looza’s attention via Twitter:

The next day he is sycophantically thanking Looza for his effort in the Battle of the Proms, and retweeting a call for his knighthood.
In the days that follow, Selkus is testing the waters with his Twits for a new party
In the 2019 GE, unable to vote for himself, he’d been forced to spoil his own ballot. Yuk.
Things had to change
By now Dazza has had it with Farage, and is telling people to ‘watch this space’

By 6 Sept, Selkus is confident enough to start tagging Looza in on his tweets about the burning issues of the day - BLM, the BBC...
Looza doesn’t like them back, but that doesn’t matter to the numbers, because Dazza is the kind of man unafraid to like his own tweets...

(btw Selkus ‘likes’ his own tweets a LOT, I mean nearly EVERY time he writes a tweet.
Useful perhaps when only 2 or 3 others like it, but Dazza, stop it - we know you already like your tweets, you WROTE them.
It just looks a bit desperate, know what I mean?
Great pecs though)

10 September.
The game’s afoot.
Dazza RTs Looza’s now deleted post:
“We need to rally together, get organised. We have plans” says Looza.
Is it co-incidence Dazza also includes ex-Brexit MEP & former Loaded editor Martin Daubney in the call to arms?
(And deffo NO MORE NIGEL)

Daubney has set up his own media behemoth Un-locked, a YouTube channel with a mighty 1.75k subscribers, dedicated to letting attention-hungry ex-Brexit Party boys and girls pretend they are still on TV.
It’s a carrot for Dazza to dangle in front of Looza, while sucking up again

Now, Loz’s act is partly about petulantly huffing down those complaining about discrimination within society, and decrying ‘victimhood’.
So when Dazza claims that the REAL victim of discrimination is Fox himself - at last! - he’s kissed his ass & Looza ‘likes’ it.
O happy day!

Dazza’s hit the sweet spot.
Judging folk by the ‘content of their character’ & not the colour of their skin is Looza’s main defence.
Of course the reality is people don’t want to work with him, not because he’s white, but precisely *because* of his character - he’s obnoxious.

... but we’re through the looking glass and outraged victimhood is now Looza’s drug of choice, his favourite bit of moral cos-play...
... and in fawning on Fox, Dazza gets the same sense of comfort of securely knowing his rightful place that the non-commissioned Officer can feel for his public-school superior.
After all, Dazza loved a Nigel once.
But that’s over now, Daz has a new love, & he’s head over heels

Tues 22 Sept.
T-30.
The battle plan has been drawn up, forces are secretly manoeuvring into position, and the countdown to the opening salvo has begun.
It’s going to be even bigger than The One Show.
Much bigger.

Wed 23 Sept
The rebel army is advancing
Under Culture War Commander Fox, Lieutentant Selkus can play at political soldiers once again.
Onwards to the Kulturkrieg!

Thurs 24 Sept
Daubney is softening up the right flank, preparing the ground.
KulturKriegKommander Fox Is sticking *up* for Empire, sticking it *to* the evil Marxist curriculum colonisers, & the un-British quisling traitors of the so-called ‘B’BC!

Sat 26 Sept.
The day before the Looza Party launch.
Their hearts filled with joy, Dazza and KKK Fox even sing to each other as they march onwards, anticipating tomorrow’s joining of battle.
A beautiful duet.
Does Dazza quite realise Looza is singing a Jonny Cash song?

... because, inspired, the words of Dazza’s reply are his own, even if they don’t rhyme, or even quite scan.
“There’s a train coming
Walls are going to tumble
Let the sun shine through
Are you ready”
How refreshing it must be for Looza not to be the worst at music for a change.

The words don’t quite make sense either
Daz’s imagery isn’t of a train to freedom but one that’s going to smash into a wall instead, sunlight beyond - was the train inside?
But Loz likes, & no doubt it’ll one day prove appropriate for the train-crash that’s inevitably a’ coming

It’s risky to put your trust in an attention-hungry, privileged public-schoolboy egotist.
When the going gets tough, will Looza loyally stand by his man & share the flak?
Or dump him like Nigel?
That’s when we’ll learn a little more about the real content of Looza’s character.

UPDATE:
Yesterday Fox admits his £5 million donation is from Tory / Vote Leave / Brexit Party donor Jeremy Hosking.
Vote Leave was the Cummings / Gove outfit.
I don’t think Fox will have much of a problem getting hold of data for political targeting...
