Ruth: Would
you consider to be our next Prime Minister?
Stephen Fry: I´m very touch by your idea that I’m capable of being Prime
Minister! I’m many things, but above all I’m a moral coward and a social
coward, and I don’t think I could take the hatred and the dislike of those who
disagree with what I said. It’s bad enough on Twitter. You post something and
although 99% of people, at least, are nice even if they desagree with you, that
1% unpleasant, unkind and threatening … . I always think it’s a bit like a
swimming pool. If 99% of the swimmingpool water is beautiful, it’s nice, but if
there is a little piece a poo floating in it, I’m not gonna swim in the pool.
I’m not that sort of people that don’t care what people think …
“One of the painful
things about our time is that those who feel certainty are stupid, and those
with any imagination and understanding are filled with doubt and indecision.”
Bertrand Russell
