‘Absolutely bananas’: Stephen Fry attacked by ‘woke mob’ over Christmas message

- Spiked Online chief political reporter Brendan O’Neill reacts to the “woke mob” going “absolutely bananas” over Stephen Fry’s Christmas message where he condemned anti-Semitism.
The actor and broadcaster called out the surge in anti-Semitism in the United Kingdom in his heartfelt Christmas message.
“What is my message this Christmas? Simple truth that we are all brothers and sisters. It's naive, but it's as good a message as any other,” Fry said.
Mr O’Neill condemned people who took offence to the actor’s message and slammed Fry on social media.
“They called him a narcissist, they said he's a genocide apologist in reference to Israel's war with Hamas,” Mr O’Neill told Sky News host James Macpherson.
“They really went for the jugular with Stephen Fry and these are the kind of people who pose as anti-racist, who think everything is racist.”
“What on earth is going on in England?” As a Brit, my thoughts exactly.
We are trying to emulate the US and as a result we’re adopting their very weird way of life. It’s turning into a depressing dystopia over there and if we’re not careful, it’ll get out of control here too.
We’ve had our country taken off us by globalists like Stephen Fry.
Too many people couldn't be bothered to react ten years ago when people like myself were telling them how it would end up. They chose to believe their lifestyles were bullet proof and give me the side eye instead. Well.... look how it turned out.
@@Discombobulate453I'm sorry, but the problem is already there, you are waiting the same thing to happen. The current problem, is, in this very video, the woke left sees everything as racism or phobia, then proceeds to enforce if you go against Jews it's anti-semitic, we are right, you are wrong. There are those in the right and the left looking at this situation and says, we don't want people to die, is Khamas killing people now? No? The IDF are? "Stop it", antisemitism. How on earth do you fix this? You can't, you are waiting and repeating the same thing US did. No solutions.
The only solution for it is to be bold, cut the crap, don't use these brands of racism, antisemitism, islamicphobia and etc. If they are doing bullshit, bring the brand to the front, don't include everything they are. Before their religions, they are humans. Cut the Jews vs Islam, we have a group of people(Group A) that have conquered one state and put their people in concentration camps, and the conflict continued. What we have done, is put everything else into these Group A and Group B into Group A.6.8.9 vs Group B.2.5.1, the problem with this, we aren't solving the part, Article 1 - Don't kill civilians, why? Because Group A is under clause 6, WHAT??? And now I'm also an Anti-Clause 6. what?? And for some reason I'm also Anti-Clause 8.
My thoughts about my country as well. (US)
What on earth is going on in England??? What on earth is going on in practically every country on the planet. It's really about time for the silent majority to speak up and speak loudly.
Woke ideology - and the importation of Islam.
The filthy, lying left! That`s what`s happened to England!
@@incurableromantic4006 and WEF.
The British public used the ballot box to fight back and got ignored
Not happening in my country Romania. Here on Christmas we're actually celebrating the coming of Christ, and have no LGBT or woke issues, because nobody takes them seriously. There are of course some public woke agents, but their voice is ignored by the people, and we get on with our normal lives. Only in the West, were you decided to take God out of the picture, you're getting this. Reflect on it.
Mr Fry will, in the future, be remembered as one of the most intelligent, articulate people society has ever had of us living in his presence.
Well said!
Really? Why so? Give me an example.....
Fact
Nah, he'll be remembered as being a stupid person's idea of what an intellectual person is like.
Vile sodomite 🤢 🤕 🤮
Stephen Fry I am a bit behind the times so just watched this. Your words are moving, heartfelt and so so true. I stand with the Jewish community 100%.
Wasn't the whole point that if we put a ring around groups of people such as "Jewish Commmunity" , we appear to picking "sides". That message seems lost. Many proponents over the last 20+ years, of an increasingly hardline, Israeli Govt, are happy labelling anyone pointing out the horrors of the present conflict as "Hammas" supporters and "Anti-Semites". Its a coreographed thing. Now, I don't think when tiny babies are being pulled out of the rubble, that they are "Hammas suppporters". But over 20k Palestinians have lost their lives, and many will NOT be supporters.
We seem to be stuck in a "two wrongs make a right" scanario.
Hammas is problematic, and complicated, they were electected, by a population who have been pushed in that direction, by a hardline Israeli Govt. What they did 7 October is horific, But its what happens when you push, aleniate and refuse to talk to the people you oppose, because it benefits you're majority. That is no more democratic.
Stop thinking in black and white "Right/wrong", and just urge peace through talking with everyone. Stand with everyone, not just "Jewish #Community" who has a similar concentration of left/right wing, righteous, nutters, saints and sinners as any other "communuity".

It all started when nobody listened to Enoch Powell.

“They don’t care about racism, they don’t care about equality”, “they only appear to do so to fortify the power they hold over society”.
True words indeed!
And we need to start putting our foot down and not allowing these idiots to think they have the power to stop free speech!

Tbh I would say they love racism. They need it, or at least the belief in it.
@@shelaghward9621 BY ignoring them!
this is particularly true in the USA...they've managed to transform the entire University dimension in a woke-puppet paradise...or better yet, HELL.
How sad to watch our society degrade to such depths!! One cannot even say such a positive heartfelt Christmas message without attack! 😞
It's really not as innocent as you make out. Who are the producers who commissioned it?
Its production company, Fulwell73, was founded by Leo Pearlman, Benjamin Turner, Gabe Turner, and Ben Winston. All of whom were members of the Zionist youth group B’nei Akiva, which runs pre-military programmes to enrol members in the Israeli occupation forces. They have also spoken at events for the Israel lobby group, the Jewish Leadership Council.
We live in the end times.. Antichrist prepares the world for his debut
Nobody, but those labelled the worst pejoratives of the 20th Century, seems to realise that society's are racial. There can be no racism existing in hegemonic nations. It is appropriate that one ought to travel to other societies and experience their cultures as a incomer. One ought not be subjected in their own homelands to foreign cultures that have been imported due to mass importation of foreigners that propagate their relocated cultures. The only outcome for that scenario is slow degradation into the abyss of oblivion for the host culture. The national people must by force inexorably compromise their standards, values and morals in a continual downward spiral to accommodate the inferior standards, values and morals of the incomers.
@@Ariannaishun what a narrow minded and bigoted view. Thanks for sharing your ideas, but most progressive people embrace diversity.
@@ak31314 Oh goody, got a bite. I wonder what the thousands of groomer ganged English girls would say if they had the freedom to speak plainly about their muslim oppressors to a media and court system THAT ACTUALLY CARED. Likewise the families of victims done in by establishment diversity pets.
You must not move far beyond your lovely, chic liberal lalaland to witness the joys of diversity that aliens (at the whims of people who HATE them) are inflicting on Ireland, Britain, Sweden, Spain, Italy, etc, the USA and increasingly the Antipodes. The cultural enrichment is turd tainted (literally); signs are necessary to instruct these people on how to poop and to NOT POOP ON BEACHES.
BTW no such signs needed in Japan. Japan is still Japan because it is FILLED with Japanese people who built and maintain Japanese society. Ditto for China, Hungary and Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, The Semitic Arab States...aaaand Israel. No NoGo Zones in those countries and no breeding ground for ethnic nepotism. In fact 1/2 castes have no pathway into politics in some Asian countries and in Burma it is not possible to own property if you are an alien. Protectionism is NATURAL
I enjoy diversity, when travelling abroad or meeting travelers but there is no value to having them take up residence when they are so culturally distinct. Clashes are inevitable if not on the streets (as in some European countries) then certainly in the halls of power if the host nation is so DUMB as to permit them representational power. Increasingly the muslims shut down entire neighborhoods in open displays of allah worship. So yeah, I grew up in a mostly hegemonic society and IT WAS BEAUTIFUL, FREE, OPEN, FAMILIAR AND SAFE.
Oh and by the way....Super glad to NO longer be sympathetic to progressivism. Progressivism is a cult, a religion and of all the man made religions it is the biggest cancer upon all that is Natural, Wholesome and Beautiful.
Well I certainly hope diversity does not embrace you and yours unlike those luckless citizens in Annecy last year, or those Irish kids in Dublin, or....., or......any number of countless "embraces" not properly reported on by the complicit media.
Not responding beyond this. Ciao
The attacks on him just prove his message.
I guess the mob mentality these days only involves “equity” for the people that scream their victimhood the loudest. Around 0:50, he said “we are all brothers and sisters,” and I am waiting for some whackos to start yelling that zee is non-binary and the violence against zem is a form of genocide.
I think the people attacking him have assumed that he is a Zionist?...
...the people producing the video are Zionists apparently... and Zionists wish to conflate Zionists with Jews... something as a human shield to protect the guilty perhaps?
Stephen said he is a Jew, and although in the past he has expressed his sympathies with the plight of Palestinians, in this video he focussed on the fears of UK Jews... with no mention of Zionists...
With all respect to UK fearful Jews... innocent Palestine children are being killed by Israel, firing US munitions...
Who shall we feel for the most?
What better way to prove him wrong by proving him right?
shut up baby killer
As a fellow Brit, I love you, Stephen. Good on you for calling this appalling behaviour out. I've been so ashamed to see what has been allowed to happen on the streets of our country. What have we become?
There are still decent people in this country - the majority, in fact. Stephen Fry is just one of them. I hope we can all come together and push back against this hateful, vitriolic minority. They are nothing but self aggrandising, narcissistic bullies.
But Israel aren't narcissistic bullies either 😂
Decent people who condone genocide
If there is one person who does not deserve this kind of nonsense, it is mr. Fry.
Mr Fry is merely spreading the Christmas message which proves he is a decent human being.Hate has no place in our society .
@@iociccio936 I have never claimed anyone to be a national treasure, but if I had to name one, then mr. Fry would be on the top of my list.

The truth has a very nasty habit of stinging the antagonists. Down throughout history we have had many great 'men of mind' that challenge the system and present fact. Stephen has delivered a lovely message in a delicate manner, he has kept it together and presented a peaceful, thought provoking and meaningful contribution without any bias intended. Anyone born with enough intellect can clearly grasp this. Bravo Mr. Fry, you deserve a standing ovation.
Good for Steven Fry. Its sad the way the world has gone. Most people do not understand what happened in WW2. But they will if this continues. History repeats itself sadly.

"courage".. To conform to the msm elitist agenda...? Nah.. Courage is those like alexi sayle who aren't afraid to speak out against the accepted narrative
Too little too late. And he didn't really speak up.
Anyone who does actually speak up are always silenced by the government.

What actually takes courage is to stand for Christ, to stand against antiwhite hatred, to stand against the lgbt crowd and the replacement of European people. The ADL or Hope not Hate or the government won't ruin your life for speaking against 'antisemitism'
One little thing about Stephen Fry's message.
The words: "our citizens".
No, I can assure you that most of these crimes are not being perpetrated by UK citizens, even those who legally have citizenship are certainly not in spirit citizens of the United Kingdom.
Stephan Fry is a great, decent human being.
Stephen Fry is a highly educated, intelligent man. Among other things, what the Israeli-Palestine conflict brought to light, is how low the standards of higher education are. All those fancy universities and their students don't know history, can't learn from it and are unable to think critically.
Anna, the standards in universities have been lowered by design, its all about lowering the bar to get better stats so they look good in league tables.
I know someone who is a lecturer, and the things that are accepted, and allowed these days would never have been tolerated 40 years ago.
And some of them are unbelievably hateful
@@pauldurkee4764forty years ago 10 percent went to university. Have people suddenly just become smarter? No, they sent more dross to university to hide the real dole numbers
I 100% agree with you my friend. However please don not let your own awareness be swayed by Hamas propaganda. It is NOT an "Israel-PALESTINE conflict", for "palestine" was NEVER a Nation state, and ceased to EXIST as a BRITISH Mandated ADMINISTRATIVE area in 1947 !
It is an Israel-HAMAS conflict" or Israel-TERRORISM conflict, just like September 1970 was a Jordan-TERRORISM conflict. Jordan HAD to win to maintain their existence in 1970. Israel HAS to win NOW
It’s their 6th century mentality upbringing .
Stephen Fry's speech is simple, harmless and caring. Who could think otherwise?
It's time to worry and react to this kind of events. What started about 85 years ago didn't happen all of a sudden. History is a hard teacher but where are the students?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Jews have been kicked out of places for thousands of years. If you got kicked out of 100 bars, would you say all those bars are discriminatory, or would you start to question if it was you who's the problem?
@@Stalofos If it was because of my race, ethnicity, or religion, then yes, it would mean the bars are discriminatory. Do you think US segregation and South African apartheid laws weren't discriminatory?
@@rebeccahicks2392 Discrimination means absolutely nothing alone. I discriminate against pitbulls because Im aware of the violent tendencies. Discrimination doesn't mean that discrimination is unjust. You might discriminate against going to a city because the people there commit crime at a higher rate. At that point, your "discrimination" is little more than taking precautions after acknowledging patterns within certain groups. So I'll repeat myself again where I'll say that if you got kicked out of 100 different bars all over the world, there might be a justified reason why you're being discriminated against. Discrimination doesn't just pop out of nowhere, and discrimination doesn't mean it's wrong.
Spot on Stephen. Sad that those who attack your words of peace can't see the hypocrites they are
I cannot believe that Stephen Fry's message, so full of kindness and insight into anti-Semitic behaviour that many of us may have remained unaware of if not for his video, has received backlash from those who consider themselves "Woke". It's appalling.
Respect and love to you Stephen. We stand with you.
It’s shocking -but then, we are dealing with ACTUAL racists, so not surprising really.
I have noticed in the last couple of years - but especially this last year - the massive increase in anybody who is not White, scowling at me and trying to push me out of their path, being rude and just generally acting in a really atrocious manner.
I sincerely hope there’s going to be some pushback agains this soon - racism is racism, there’s no such thing as selective racism.
Unfortunately in 2024 I can believe it :(
There are a lot of stupid people in the World, many that can keep down responsible jobs and high powered careers.
ive only found bout it now
I still say I would share my bunker with Stephen Fry any day, cos he is a fundamentally good man
Why have we seen that collapse? There are too many Muslims living in western countries.
By design
Well Said Stephen. These trolls attacking him, just proves his point true.
People are sick of the genocide happening to the Palestinians. That’s what’s happening. The perpetrators of these atrocities are Jewish. I don’t think anyone cares about the religious aspect, it’s the relentless bombing of the poverty stricken and starving Palestinians women & children by their affluent and highly weaponised Israel that many are so against. And rightly so. Ps: I’m a huge fan of Stephen Fry
Stay strong Stephen. You are much loved!
Normally when you want to accuse someone else of something, then you are really guilty of that same thing. Stephen is correct.
where does that end though?
@@rosskoumantarakis8976 That is the question. But Stephen did not say he is against Palestinians. But nobody can tell me that Israel does not have the right to defend itself. However, something tells me that America is behind this war. And there is oil. They found a rich oil field off the coast of Palestine. Which country should claim the find? The dems were quite against Israel. And then suddenly it changed. So if the oil find is really true, then by supporting Israel, America can get their hands on that oil.
Are you saying Mr. Fry is an antisemite because he accused other folk of antisemitism?
The way I've heard it is that Putin is behind this war, he wanted the global price of oil to increase so that he can fund his military invasion of the Ukraine.
As for oil off the Israeli coast, the only recent find I've heard of is up near Lebanon nowhere near Gaza.@@andreroux850
Its because Fry has a valid opinion. The one thing the woke left cannot stand is a valid opinion.

You are championing the Jews while criticizing Wokeness... This situation is frustrating beyond measure... People need to start paying attention and not worry so much about what labels are attached to them. They _made_ Critical Theory (Frankfurt school), they fund the politicians and universities that cultivate this toxic ideology, and they have immense influence in the media and Hollywood that brainwash the masses into thinking Wokeness is a good thing.
I know, I know... "That's a conspiracy theory! You're a conspiracy theorist!"
No... It's not a theory. It's a simple, numerical fact. They are massively overrepresented in all of those institutions, and many of them explicitly admit to (and brag about) doing what I'm describing.
Are you at all curious why?
He also spent the entirety of his career advocating for the conditions, i.e., the dissolution of English Anglicanism, endless migration, the continued partnering of the U.K. with the E.U., that led to this, ergo he can suck it up 👍
Where did you read that on social media..😂😂
He's not just a national treasure in the U.K. Here in the U.S.A he has A LOT of fans that love him too.

Agree but how is this anti semitism being manifested? I feel it's more od a media construct cause i don't hear or read about any violence except a few cases world wide that were well publicized. There's literally hundreds of civilans being murdered daily but now in Gaza but the biggest issue seems to be someone's social media posts...
Fry spent a great deal of time trashing Christians so he's equally responsible for this crap. He's a bigoted microintellect.

Not really. The truth is his people were handed that land by the UN in 1948 and the real owners of that land were thrown off it. If he really wanted peace he would encourage his people to hand back the land to the real owners of it.
Exactly!!!
I have nothing against Jews or the Jewish faith, but what is happening in Gaza is disgusting. There are atrocities happening right now by the state of Israel. And by Hamas. I hope deaths stop on both sides, but in the UK there is a massive pro Israeli agenda across all of our news agencies. I think Stepen Fry has undeservedly recieved backlash because some of us are sick of one sided reporting, and one sided sympathy.
thank god for Stephen Fry! he isn't just a national treasure but an exemplary human being
I’m going to stick my neck out now and confess that in the last month I have made anti semetic comments and formed anti semetic opinions based on Israel. After listening to Stephen Fry and some others I have come to see that I have been wrong. I have to kick myself and think of the Jewish people I have known in my life who are all decent and good. It’s people like Ben Shapiro who drove me to an illogical conclusion, but he doesn’t speak for Jewish people, he only speaks for himself and a handful of idiots. To be honest I’m ashamed of some of the things I’ve thought and said over the last couple of weeks. I’m generally not at all racist or prejudiced so I’m quite shocked at how easily I had these thoughts.

@@danielburger1775 clearly what I understand a Christian to be isn’t what you believe. You’re entitled to be wrong
So what about the Palestinian Christians dying at the hands of Israeli government bombing? Or they don’t exist in your worldview where the Jews are always right and should be supported regardless of the immense suffering they have inflicted on the Palestinians?
@@danielburger1775never seen such a ridiculous statement, read the post carefully, he said he was a Christian who stands with the Jewish people. Not once was there a claim to be both was there? Before answering read and digest what you have just looked at. Or on the other hand you clearly knew what you put with some kind of Liberal Fascist statement . All these white people on the Free Palestine marches do you have the same sentiment towards them, as they are different religions but can’t be both?
"To Learn Who Rules over you, Simply find out who you aren't allowed to Criticise " Voltaire.
Attacking Stephen Fry or a European Jew doesn't help a single Palestinian, nor does it criticize the Israeli government.
So gays, trans people, women, Muslims and blacks rule over me? Try criticising any of those protected species.
@@devorahactsbecause they hate Israel more than they love themselves
The quote, "To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize," is often attributed to Voltaire, but it's actually a misattribution. This phrase was not said by Voltaire, the 18th-century French Enlightenment writer, historian, and philosopher. Instead, it originated from Kevin Alfred Strom, an American neo-Nazi and white supremacist, in the 1990s.
The misattribution to Voltaire might stem from an attempt to give the phrase an air of historical and intellectual legitimacy. The actual meaning of the quote suggests that the true power in a society is held by those whom one cannot openly criticize. It implies that the limitations on public criticism are a way to identify those who have control or authority over societal norms and values. However, given its actual origin, the quote is often associated with and used to promote extremist or conspiratorial viewpoints.
By that logic, the world is now run by Muslims and the LGBT community.
Yay Stephan! When you touch people who need to grow they react with hostility! Keep calling attention to the truth!
A lovely message drowned out by the screams of the demented.
Sadly many of these citizens in a heavily islamicised capital are not our own citizens, they may well carry British passports in some cases, but that doesn't mean they will behave like the British or adopt their habits and customs.
Oh shut up you racist bigot. Perhaps your ancestors shouldn't have gone over to colonise islamic countries
We need to stop pretending that having a passport has any meaning whatsoever now.
God bless you Stephen. Thank you for speaking out the truth. What a sickening place Britain has become.
Pity he didn't speak up against the trans agenda. It took the woke mob coming for the thing he cares about to make him wake up. Finally but pity he didn't care about women and children's rights.
What about the increasing number of attacks against Muslims?
The whole world has become sickening!
There are always far more places where good stuff is happening. We don't hear about it because good news rarely has the shock value and doesn't sell newspapers.
Regards from a Tom :)
He said it well. Great man!!!
Bless fry for standing with humanity- with his people
The ironic thing is that Fry is a lefty darling who's now being cancelled by his own kind. Hilarious!
The left love to eat their own most of all.
He is only lefty as far as right-wing conservatives wanted to burn him on a stake because he is gay. That was back when the left was actually more liberal. Quite a lot happened since those times and if you asked him today, he won't consider himself to be left.
They always end up eating each other
You have an insipid sense of humor.
Spot on.
I've always respected you, Mr. Fry. I always will.
Me too👍
I have no respect for anyone who pushed the jab
@@ivanhowell3461That's ok, no one has respect for you so it all worked out. :D
Keep taking the jibjab as your master Fry instructs you too. Myocarditis is fun for all the family.
@@ivanhowell3461and he's a fan of the trans agenda
Stephen Fry You are a hero stand strong Love is on your side and anyone who supports your message
Maybe he should ask why we allowed our Muslim population to quadruple over the last 30 years.
It seems like people are desperate to feel valid these days. Mr. Frye's message was beautiful, peace on earth and goodwill toward men.
THESE days? Historically speaking people have always been desperate to feel valid. This is the same beast with a different face.
Never invite the vampire in to your house, shame Australia is not learning this vital lesson...
You invite the vampire and the vampire will come. True words mate
We are tamer here but its festering. Our borders are easy to trick and its a paradise compared to others infected by greedy immigrants .
We have observed Christmas trashing in Australia by its peace-loving Muslims. What about a New Year's Eve?
Jimmy Saville was a national treasure
#BBCResistance
Sounds like that haven’t a clue what they are listening to
I love Stephen Fry. A wonderful human being.
Fry continues to impress me with his well thought words and rational composure.
I'm with South Africa. Arrest Netanyahu the genocide has gone too far.
Stephen Fry is a good man and he is loved by many of us around the world. He is a national treasure.🇳🇿🙃😊
Completely accurate (unfortunately). We all need to know more about this, entirely absent from the evening news in Australia.
I can’t believe people are going after Christmas. Wtf
It’s in their DNA.😜
The woke lot are nazis.
Islamists always start with Jews but never stop there. Hence, recent hijacking of Remembrance Day in London and now - Christmas trashing. Is the New Year Eve a next target? And all the UK is just fine with it ?
@@gawaniponygirl1312 Who are you identifying as Pagans? The people moaning about Xmas are from religions that have not been in this country for millennia but for decades or less.
Also it was the Christian lot that built their churches on Pagan spiritual sites and placed Christian events on or close to the same days as Pagan celebrations, to erode the beliefs of people in olden times. Modern Pagans know all about this and work around the Christians because they are aware, unlike the people of the past.
The Left just hates everybody and everything that doesn't fit into their extreme, far-Left, hatemongering ideology.
"... slowly extend middle finger and hold rigid in a verticle position..."
The irony is tragic - Fry's character in 'V for Vendetta' stands up to precisely this sort of tyranny. And now the real life Fry is enduring the same thing. Incredible. Art is supposed to imitate life. Now life is imitating art.
a small VOCAL minority appears larger than they are...
Well done sky news Australia for bringing us the real news.
Got to laugh at this comment???? Sky and real news? on what planet exactly?
@@stevejohnson4111 why are you watching it then 🤣
Because it is about the hostile reactions to Stephen Fry's Christmas message.@@bavaria46
It will always be an ongoing problem as long as mankind thinks myths are true stories...all of them.
We have to marry people young enough to be our children also... According to him. 🤢
This is hilarious. Fry is about as woke as it gets. They eat their own.
He did debate against political correctness alongside Jordan Peterson. (The Munk Debates). He's not that easy to pigeonhole.
Nah, I’d say Fry is more of a classic libertarian. It is extremely irritating that so many people conflate any world view that isn’t right wing with being woke: It is woefully ignorant and fucking tedious.
It's hilarious that he's speaking up against hate against the jews and palistinians? You should be shunned.
Fry is gay, but he is not woke. Check out his brilliant discussions against DEI and political correctness. He is fighting against fake facts about British history and European issues etc...
Well done Stephen. What is happening is disgusting. Woke squeaky wheels, who whinge the longest and loudest get given dummies to shut them up. wonder how many other 'stars' will stand up?
Dont count on it. Taking a stand on this one actually requires courage, unlike the latests causes. Jews don't really have an option, they have to be courageous and outspoken. Trying to hide and wishing it goes away didn't work in the past.
Thank-you, guys, for highlighting this message. I didn't actually see Stephen Fry's message before, but I hope it has an impact. 🙂👍
It certainly did. It showed once and for all that Mr Fry is taking the side of the oppressor over the victim.
@@RebeccaTurner-ny1xx I believe Hamas started this latest conflict
Why does Steven fry do a Christmas message?
He is a famous non believer.
A strange thing for him to do and for him to be allowed to do, makes no sense.
I used to be woke. I was constantly getting triggered. I protested everything that offended me, and demanded it all be cancelled. Finally I grew out of it, and went to preschool.
Well said! 😃😃👌🏼
Did you have to watch a transexual do a dance while you were there?
@@chatteyj Liberals, liberals. Their minds always go there, regardless of the topic.
It is neither childish nor immature to criticize social injustice where it exists. Shame on you for suggesting so
@@colinmatts What would your definition of social injustice be? It's a politically charged phrase, and may not mean exactly what you think it does.
British culture will endure against all of her enemies, in all forms.
Until we stop using labels for each other this will never stop.
I'm with Stephen Fry! What's happened to tolerance towards each other?
The world has gone mad. Everything is hate, no matter where you look. Sad, sad times indeed.
You do understand that a few hundred online trolls is not "the world" don't you?
@@colinmatts I am not based my comment on the internet only, Sir. The world has, indeed, gone mad, and I am sorry to see it what it has become and to know that I will not live long enough to see it any better. The human race is a sad experiment.
I love his voice so much, is so relaxing. And he is speaking the truth. How come anyone could hate him
he's being hated just for being jewish regardless of his outstanding valour decency and morality
@@SoopSoopa if you think about it, the same people that hate him just for being Jewish are the same ones that quickly call everyone a nazi if we don't support their trans cult
Stand tall and proud Stephen Fry.. You're on the right side of this
Woke? I think the meaning of ‘woke’ has been changed and now means something completely different. Bless you Stephen Fry.
Brilliant! Well said Stephen. So nice to hear someone talking sense.
They hate us and all what we stand for, but they want what we have. You do the math.
The irony here is that Stephen Fry would describe himself as woke, but his words are somehow being used as anti-woke. What a strange world we inhabit.
Because no one knows what "woke" actually means. It's just become a general term that people who cannot justify their opinions use to describe someone they don't agree with.
Hatred is never good.
I thought it was a beautiful message. So upset that something so kind would be attacked.
HA HA HA HA. The woke attacking the woke.
Please explain how Stephen Fry is woke? Is it because he’s gay that you think that? Douglas Murray and Andrew Doyle are too, do you think they’re woke? Do you even know who they are?
I know many gay people who despise the Pride movement, as it's followers claim to represent the majority of gay people; which is does not.
@@NewSpiritualityI think the point they’re trying to make is that Stephen Fry is extremely liberal yet, he is still getting attacked by radicals.
@@Seekingsophia00 woke, not woke, radical…..all this is about is some people have so much hate in their minds..which multiplies when they are with hateful others and they just want to project that hate into someone else for any apparent reason as it’s too much for them to realise that the hatred is in them and they have no tools to deal with it….sadly by expressing it, it grows bigger and also hurts others.
@@NewSpiritualityLook at the trash he has spouted in the past, because he’s pro-Israeli all is forgiven I guess.
Unfortunately, in Britain, “our citizens”, isn’t as easy to define as it used to be.
"Treat other people as you would like to be treated yourselves." Some people don't like hearing the truth because it exposes their prejudice towards evil. Well done to Mr Fry for speaking up for decency!
Its not our citizens who are the problem, its people we weren't asked if we trusted to live amongst us.
Exactly. I personally know not one culturally British person who is countenancing aggression towards Jewish people, the vast majority support them. Just goes to show what a ‘minority’ is capable of. Sickening when you think of the citizens of this country who only 85 years ago, died to defend people from a nation and ideology that would attack the Jewish people.
I agree with you. Some people from another land are driving the political narrative in the UK. It's the reason they are not welcome in the territories around their homeland - it's because they cause dissent, and chaos, wherever they go.
But I have to say, that there is a British agenda regarding these people, as well as a European agenda. There are some VERY evil people in political circles, that are hell bent on destroying the West. That is why they bring these people to Western shores - in order to undermine and destroy our culture.
& now we have found out the (very ) hard way that they certainly can not be trusted .
F friend I absolutely agree-something I never ever thought I would say. But Ur right.No more learning about each other just people expecting a handout and wanting to take what they can with other idiots so worried they might "look rascist" that they are willing to throw away our schools our public transport systems our police departments and everything worthwhile.What a fing mess.Keep safe.
It's the people who pushed multiculturalism. The golem turns on it's masters yet again.
Thank you Stephen for your message of peace and tolerance.
Fry made his bed and he can sleep in it.
