"The Mail still can’t quite live with the shame that it has always, always been historically wrong about everything - large and small - from Picasso to equal pay for women. Because it has always been against progress, the liberalising of attitudes, modern art and strangers (whether by race, gender or sexuality). Of course they’ll leap on a Stephen Lawrence bandwagon once the seeds of their decades of anti-immigration racism (read a 1960s or 1970s Daily Mail) have been sown, but deep down they have always come from the same place and had the same instinct for the lowest, most mean-spirited, hypocritical, spiteful and philistine elements of our island nation"

Have you read Hilton's article, the one described as a 'hate peice'? It was a typical Daily Mail tactic of ignoring the real issue and arguing a separate point in an attempt to belittle it's target. In this case, Hilton writes that it is hypocritical of Fry to be against sport in Russia but to continue to support Russian culture, especially theatre. This is clearly beside the point, as the olympics is a truly global event that is recognised around the world, whereas the productions of plays by Russian writers have nowhere near the same significance.
Why did Fry not make this point? However true his comments about the Mail, and about Dacre might be, I felt his stream of vitriol in response lowered him somewhat to their level.
