I exist on twitter MERELY to scan his and Russell Brands, and have no interest in tweeting myself.<br />When a person is an icon, they can get away with anything (Joanna Fabulous?) and because we KNOW Fry's history, we empathise and support.<br />His Jewish family was Auschwitzed and that gives him my permission to say anything he wants about Austrians, Germans, NAZIs and the whole damn thing. <br />anything he wants.<br /><br />If we knew BrummyPlum's story we might also understand, but if he goes to the library with his revolver, I won't care.<br />There IS too much nastiness on the net.Ann ODynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01159263330547329077noreply@blogger.com
