Take him or leave him...exactly rightHe's a chronic flip-flopper and it's not just shades of opinion. He was all over the shop a few years ago doing an hilarious
opinion pastiche about a 'portable data storage technology for information that is lightweight, durable, you can read it
in the bath - it's a book' Geddit! and computer technology will never replace it.
Then he fell in love with Jonathan Ives' pretty computers and it was all different.
Let's not forget he is a certified fraud and menatlist too: not a very reliable authority on anything, despite an eye-wateringly expensive education.

"a certified fraud and menatlist "sorry but I find those comments more offensive than anything Stephen Fry has ever said, or reportedly said.

I'd say there's a difference betweenbeing a fraudster and being a fraud
AT least that was the inference I got from the comment.

I suspect it's probably also fair(ish) comment to describe that episodewhen he had a breakdown, disappeared mid-run from that play he was doing and high-tailed it to Belgium as a bit "mental"
insensitive, perhaps, but not inaccurate

"At 17, after leaving Norfolk College of Arts and Technology, Fry absconded with a credit card stolen from a family friend, was arrested in Swindon, and as a result spent three months in Pucklechurch Prison on remand."
