We can send him to Coventry I suppose old bean

Agreed, it's that whole overblown gay thing with the weird gay voice and the glasses and buck teeth. Why do they feel the need to do that? Can't stand him.

Now this was funny ...

You couldn't make it up could you?

I love the outrage bus and some of the places it stops!
My granddad had is leg amputate due to diabetes and the first thing I said when I saw him was
Bloody typical ..... legless again. we all laughed!

may be the MPs etc should stop passed my house and have a moan!

Next time Jimmy cracks a joke about fat blokes overdosing on sugar we'll open the garage doors for you.

i have no opinion on this particular joke and i would be hypocritical to condemn it given that i have previously paid money to see him live - and very good he was too...

...what is interesting though is the lack of (real) national outrage regarding this stunt...had he made the gag about a bus-load of downies, or blacks or gays, etc there would have been genuine uproar..."the chattering Classes of Islington" would have gone into overdrive...here was a gag about a disabled people - it seems to have been justified by virtue of their occupation

...just a thought?

oh and i just read an article in today's Indy about this...the journo quoted arrse heavily but sadly lost all credibility when he described headley court as the neighbouring NHS establishment to Selly Oak!

as it happens when he gets a grump on (normally just because he's old) we tell to go eat some sugar and stop moaning but then again at 87 i spose i should show some more respect to my elders!!

another out rage bus any one?? next stop young people of today not showing respect!!

grow up and get a sence of humour!

Reading the previous posts, I was reminded of something that happened years ago. I was having a lunchtime drink with friends and one of them had an epileptic fit, a biggie, a grand mal. The poor bugger was thrashing around on the floor and we were trying to hold him steady etc, when one of the guys said.
"Tight fisted cunt, he'll do anything to get out of buying a round." I can't begin to say how funny it was, with all the panic taking place.

I have to agree totally. Just beacause its close to the bone doesn't put it off limits. Your only pissed off you never came up with it your selves. Has anyone stopped to ask what the injured soldiers think? I saw Tommo on the news yesterday wondering what the problem was!
The issue is, we have all these clowns jumping on the PC wagon showing outrage at what has been said! Guys, surely you realise that this is purely for their own benefit. I think you'll find they are the ones that are out of touch! Stop giving them the ammo!!

I saw this on Facebook the other day on a discussion about the joke. Just about says it all really and comes from the highest authority!

..........wah.

Drat.

It's also been done on this thread at least once.

So, clowns jumping on the PC wagon complaining about comedians. This could turn nasty.

Lousy effort Barking Spider - as MIT points out - done earlier with even less style!

Look, it's been a hard day OK?
Sheesh, you guys are so touchy today. It's not as if I cracked a joke about limbless soldiers or anything.

The morale police are here


"Don't try anything funny Buddy"

Good job you didn't aswell, I'd be outraged into starting a thread.

Comedians say outragous things all the time. Why? Cause we the public want them to!

A good comedian reads his audience if they found it funny then jobs a good 'un!

If you weren't in the room why cry about it. We all know someone black, disabled, gay, soldier, fireman.......
