Stephen Fry listed as hate target on neo-Nazi website - Sunday Times - Times Online

STEPHEN FRY, the comedy actor, has put been on a hate list by a neo-Nazi group. The television presenter was told by researchers at Searchlight, the anti-fascist organisation, that his name had been posted on a far-right website. Fry describes hearing of the threat in an interview in today’s Sunday Times News Review. His name and details were posted on Redwatch, a website which is used by extreme right-wing groups to publicise details of their enemies. Many of those whose names have been listed have subsequently been attacked. A teacher in West Yorkshire had his car firebombed allegedly the day after his name and address had appeared. Fry’s Jewish descent and left-leaning political views are thought to have marked him out for targeting by the right. Few people realised that he had Jewish blood until he talked of his family’s history at a recent literary festival.
