Laurence Fox had his Twitter account temporarily locked following backlash over his decision to change his profile picture to a Swastika made from the pride flag.

The controversial actor and activist made the change just days after a gunman killed two people during the Oslo Pride festival.

Twitter locked his account due to violations against abusive profile information and posting hateful imagery.

He responded by saying: “You can openly call the Union Jack a symbol of facism and totalitarianism on Twatter.

“You cannot criticise the holy flags”, he added, adding the six-colour pride flag and the transgender flag.

Fox changed his profile picture shortly after mourners gathered at a memorial service in Oslo Cathedral on Sunday for the victims of a shooting in the capital’s nightlife district.

A gunman opened fire in central Oslo’s bar area early on Saturday, killing two people — a man in his 50s and another in his 60s — and injuring more than 20 in what the Norwegian security service called an “Islamist terror act” during the capital’s annual LGBTQ Pride festival.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
