Laurence Fox's fury that police seized his two sons' iPads when they arrested ... trends now
Laurence Fox today fumed at police for seizing his two sons' iPads when they arrested him on suspicion of conspiring to damage Ulez cameras a day after he threatened to tear them down with an angle-grinder.
The 45-year-old, who has two sons called Winston and Eugene with his ex-wife and actress Billie Piper - accused the police of being 'malicious' and 'beyond contemptible' for confiscating the devices.
Fox, who has now been sacked by GB News for his on-air rant about a female journalist, claimed Britain is facing a 'pure cold tyranny' as he fumed at cops for taking the 'property of innocent children to antagonise their father'.
It comes after Fox posted a video online of him sat in his living room as police officers searched his home in South London yesterday.
Last night, he was pictured leaving Croydon police station on bail clasping a book about Soviet forced labour camps. He also claimed that he learned he had been sacked by GB News by officers while in custody.

The under-fire broadcaster sacked Fox after he sparked a backlash with his on-air comments about journalist Ava Evans. It also sacked another host, Reverend Calvin Robinson, for backing the 45-year-old political activist.
The outspoken actor turned political activist tweeted tonight: 'Hello. I'm back. Had to get a new phone as the 6 police who were sent barreling into my house yesterday have taken every electronic device, including my boys iPads. Which is just plain malicious.'
He added in another tweet: 'I have just finished recording my thoughts on the last few days. I will put it them out later. I am so upset about my kids phones and iPads being confiscated by the stasi. (even though a screen break is no bad thing!)
'To take away the property of innocent children to antagonise their father, seems to me beyond malicious and beyond contemptible. We are facing a pure cold tyranny, which is getting hotter by the day.
'Schemes designed to immiserate the poorest and most vulnerable in society, whilst the rich can offset the entire price of an electric wonder wagon against their corporation tax are grossly unfair.
'The Britain I remembered lionised Robin Hood. Now we celebrate those who steal from the poor to give to the rich. I will never stop fighting. And I'm not scared of your jail cells. As long as I have a good book.'
It comes after Fox shared a bizarre post comparing himself to Les Misérables hero Jean Valjean, claiming that 'wrong speak' is a crime and appearing to brush off his on-air rant that got him sacked.
In an Instagram post hours before his arrest yesterday, Fox posed for a photo with a shaved head and a trimmed beard. He compared himself to fictional protagonist Valjean - who served 19 years locked up as prisoner 24601 for stealing a loaf of bread - and claimed he was going to be 'carted off to the cancellation camp'.

Fox wrote: 'Bit of final preparation before being carted off to the cancellation camp. Prisoner Number - #24601 - Sentence - Life without parole. Crime - Wrong speak. Specifically. Being rude, whilst trying to make a joke - 25 years. Expressing concern for male suicide rates and men's mental health.- 25 years - Being a Heterosexual male - Life without parole.'
