Stephen Fry: It’s now very common to hear people say, “I’m rather offended by that”, as if that gives them certain rights
Mmmm. He said: ‘It’s now very common to hear people say, “I’m rather offended by that”, as if that gives them certain rights. It’s no more than a whine. It has no meaning, it has no purpose, it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. “I’m offended by that.” Well, so fucking what?’

Further, regarding #HackedOff / @HackingInquiry, @OpenRightsGroup and the #Leveson meeting last night /ht @webmink
