Stephen Fry Quits Twitter In 'Bag Lady' Row
 
Fry has Quit before


After saying "Bag Lady"
he should have said Dark Humor Alert
or something

[Stephen Fry appears to have deleted his Twitter account after being criticised
for calling the winner of the BAFTA award for costume design a "bag lady".
Jenny Beavan, who won the prize for Mad Max: Fury Road, wore trousers,
a leather jacket and a scarf to the star-studded ceremony
at the Royal Opera House in London's Covent Garden.]

I was a bit taken aback by the comment, but now that I know they're very good friends, it changes things

I have a new word for the dictionary 'twidiots'.

Did everyone conveniently overlook the part where he insults himself too?

Thats does not matter.


His Big Error
was to tell those on Twitter, moaning at him,
to FECK OFF
that then turns into death threats etc.


He needs to learn to say right after his Joke
"Dark Humour Alert"

Ricky Gervais says much worse than this every year at the Golden Globes. This Country is terrible.

Why can he not do it.

I don't get it, it was obviously a joke (and even if it wasn't, it was hardly offensive... was it???), why would people complain about that?!

It wasn't even dark humour though really, it was just a playful joke about himself and his friend.

But No One attacking him on Twitter
knew that


His error is not adding the rest.

The offence people are taking on her behalf for something they have no real clue about (and was a joke between friends anyway) is ridiculously OTT and pearl-clutchy - okay, maybe he shouldn't have made that joke when the people watching wouldn't have known that's what it was, but this culture of taking immediate offence on behalf of others is a bit comical, ironically

Vanessa 15-02-2016 04:20 PM

I hate twitter. I hardly go on it anymore. It just bores me. I much prefer facebook.

Amy Jade 15-02-2016 04:31 PM

Oh boo hoo, he needs to get over himself. Deleting his account after not liking a few people not liking what he wrote. Is he 11?
