    He's a comedian.

    And it was funny.

    He mocked how children with Down's Syndrome speak, dress and die young. I had a second cousin who had Down's syndrome, and she and her parents struggled.

    We have free speech in the country and ****s like Boyle take it to an extreme. If he had mocked Jewish or Muslim children it wouldn't have been allowed, but a child with a disability is fair game.

    I thought you were referring to the joke about Jordan's son, Harvey. Still, the guy is a comedian (like him or hate him) and he makes jokes for a particular market. His success suggests a lot of people like his stuff and don't take it to mean he hates any particular minority.

    Yes, it goes wider than Jordan's blind son, Watford.

    It's not hate that Boyle feels for the disabled. It's disdain.

    I feel disdain for Frankie Boyle. And a tiny, tiny bit of pity, he's obviously a rather sad individual if his attempts at humour are indicative of his psyche. I hope he appreciates the freedom that allows him to try and shock in a very predictable way at every opportunity, just as I relish my privilege to ignore him completely.

    Witnesses say there was an argument between this man and the victim. Police say it isn't related to terrorism. The man is a 21 year old Syrian asylum seeker
    I don't like his work. There seems to be a missing empathy gene in it.

    I saw him live in Southamton earlier this year and I have to admit that, after hearing great things about his live show, he was ****e.

    Saw this on LinkedIn this morning and thought it both mildly amusing and quite clever....


    I told my son,
    “You will marry the girl I choose.”
    He said, “NO!”
    I told him, “She is Bill Gates’ daughter.”
    He said, “OK.”
    I called Bill Gates and said, “I want your daughter to marry my son.”
    Bill Gates said, “NO.”
    I told Bill Gates, My son is the CEO of World Bank.”
    Bill Gates said, “OK.”
    I called the President of World Bank and asked him to make my son the CEO.
    He said, “NO.”
    I told him, “My son is Bill Gates’ son-in-law.”
    He said, “OK.”
    This is exactly how politics works . . .

    France and Germany are becoming basket cases for ad hoc Islamic terrorism. The citizens of those countries must surely be asking themselves whether their leaders put their safety above political ideology

    If it is Islamic terrorism, the killing of a priest will not go down well in France (especially if Catholic). I can see reprisals.
