Stephen Fry is suing the organizers of a
0:02
tech conference. So, he's looking for
0:04
100,000 pounds in damages for an
0:07
incident that happened in 2023 at the
0:09
CogX conference. So, he is basically
0:12
claiming that they were negligent
0:14
because the stage and the backstage area
0:16
weren't well-lit enough. So, he couldn't
0:18
see his exit off the stage, but also it
0:21
was a 6-ft drop, supposedly, as well,
0:23
and concrete underneath, which doesn't
0:25
feel very safe. So, he's suing the
0:27
company that put on the conference and
0:29
also the event organizer 100k. The only
0:32
thing I have to add to this is
0:33
apparently Stephen Fry talks about this
0:35
incident on the BBC with Claudia
0:37
Winkleman, and he thanks the NHS for
0:40
their help and praised the Queen
0:43
Elizabeth Hospital, and the praise
0:45
consisted of "It's not a famous
0:46
hospital, but it's doing extraordinary
0:49
work every day." As if [laughter] it has
0:50
to be like an extraordinary like a
0:53
really famous hospital to be any good.
