The press fawn over a Russian homosexual activist.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Holding the Winter Olympics in Russia has turned into a jamboree for the professionally aggrieved.<\/p>\n

Stephen Fry, described as an ‘actor, author and television presenter’ has written an open letter to Prime Minister David Cameron<\/a><\/strong> condemning what he describes as the \u201ctoxic mix of shaven headed thuggery and bigoted religion\u201d currently ‘being used to demonise LGBT communities in Russia’. \u00a0As if there are no shaven-headed homosexual thugs and bigots.<\/p>\n

Nick Griffin, leader of the British National Party, told Fry to \u201cget over it\u201d. \u00a0David Cameron said he was against a boycott.<\/p>\n

However, A Downing Street spokesman said the Government remained \u201dgreatly concerned\u201c about restrictions on the promotion of sodomy in Russia and said Mr Cameron had raised the issue directly with President Putin. \u00a0President Obama has also raised concerns, as well he might. \u00a0\u00a0He has also declined to meet President Putin. \u00a0What with whistle-blower Snowden and now this attack on his nearest and dearest, it would make any President concerned to defend immorality flounce out of a summit.<\/p>\n

The flurry of interest has arisen since Russia’s lower house of parliament, the Duma, passed a law prohibiting the provision of information about homosexuality to people under 18. \u00a0A fine can be imposed for promoting the Western man’s vice.<\/p>\n

The WInter Olympics are due to be held in the Russian town of Sochi in February 2014.<\/p>\n

By the way, has anyone else been struck by the uncanny similarlity between Stephen Fry and Nick Griffin? \u00a0Can they by any chance be related? \u00a0Or at least related to a common porcine ancestor? \u00a0Not that we do evolution here.<\/p>\n

Proving Godwin’s Law, that at some stage Nazi Germany will be mentioned in any online discussion, Fry got his over-the-top retaliation in first, saying:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 1936 Berlin Olympics proceeded under the exultant aegis of a tyrant who had passed into law an act which singled out for special persecution a minority whose only crime was the accident of their birth.<\/p>\n

\u201dPutin is eerily repeating this insane crime, only this time against gay Russians.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am gay. I am a Jew. My mother lost over a dozen of her family to Hitler’s anti-Semitism. I for one, weep at seeing history repeat itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

I, for one, weep at the misuse of the comma, but I shan’t be writing to David Cameron about it..<\/p>\n
