Funny: Stephen Fry to Cambridge University student : "You cynical ignorant fucker!"

After a series of public blunders, Stephen Fry might have learned to be careful what he says.

But the actor has tweeted his way into fresh controversy after he branded a Cambridge University student who wrote briefly about him - a 'cynical ignorant f*****'.

Fry, 53, attacked student Milo Yiannopoulos, 27, after he suggested the celebrity was 'opportunistic' for offering to pay the fine of a man sacked for posting a joke on Twitter.

Accountant Paul Chambers, 27, was fined £3,000 after he lost an appeal against his conviction for sending a 'menacing' tweet threatening to blow up an airport.

Writing on his online blog, Mr Yiannopoulos slammed the 'absurd' judgement and commented on the many offers of support Chambers had received.

He wrote: 'Chambers has done nothing wrong. Perhaps that's why Twitter has been ablaze with messages of support, including a somewhat opportunistic offer from Stephen Fry to stump up the cash.'

Former Queen's college student Fry posted - and quickly deleted - an bitter attack after reading the post on Yiannopoulos' technology blog.

He wrote: ' ''somewhat opportunistic''? - you cynical ignorant f******. Why do any of us even bother?'
