Stephen Fry has delivered an insulting attack on Catholics and Poles which grotesquely misrepresents historical fact and which, if levelled at almost any other targets, would probably be characterised as a “hate crime”. Fry, who joined Labour luvvies in signing an open letter protesting against the Tories’ alliance in the European Parliament with the Polish Law and Justice Party, said on Channel 4 News: “There’s been a history, let’s face it, in Poland of a right-wing Catholicism which has been deeply disturbing for those of us who know a little history and remember which side of the border Auschwitz was on”…

Gerald Warner deftly exposes the scale of the ignorance shown by Fry here but will the BBC show any interest in this? I doubt it. So long as “right wing Polish Catholics” can be insulted and history re-written by a luvvie whose self inflated importance is only equalled by his annual income, what’s the problem? Where’s the bias? The bias lies in the fact that Fry can get away with making these sort of calculated slurs and still be lionised by the BBC.
