Oh so just because it happened to be from uncouth Fry it is perfectly acceptable?
Note the BBC's response, first they address him as Stephen instead of using his surname as is generally the case with others, then go on to excuse him because that is how he is.
/// “Stephen, whose irreverence and style is extremely well-known to
viewers, ///
And what could be said regarding the Independence's reporting:
/// In happier news, Fry chose the Baftas weekend to make his first public appearance with his new husband Elliott Spencer, who watched on from the wings as the actor won the affections not just of Birdman stars Michael Keaton and Ed Norton, but also a kiss from Cuba Gooding Jr. ///
All lovies together, yuk, please pass the sick bucket.

/// Your original post seemed to comprise two things
The claim that the BBC defends the "lefties" and protects them while throwing the "righties to the wolves" - which doesn't seem to have any basis in fact

I cannot take any blame for the way that your mind works, or for that enormous chip on your shoulder.

Perhaps you are piqued at not getting snogged by "Cuba Gooding" whoever he/she may be :-)
You are a past master AOG at lighting a blue touch paper and shrugging your shoulders when the bang goes off :-)

@AOG,
I used to think that "luvvies" applied exclusively to a small clique of 'ac-torrrrs', of the stature of Laurence Olivier, John Gielgud, Ralph Richardson, Michael Hordern and other, eminent Shakespearians.
To be fair, any back-slapping mutual-appreciation society now earns this epithet and that is partly why it has become a derogatory term.
Odd that you weigh such a light slap across the face of a word against a list of labels which have much stronger meanings. Are you saying that these words have been used against you? (On AB, I presume?)
