COMEDIAN Jimmy Carr has caused outrage by making a tasteless joke about soldiers wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The controversial comic stunned fans with the ill-timed gag about amputees the day after the launch of this year’s Poppy Appeal.

MPs of all parties last night joined a chorus of Â*condemnation with former officers and relatives of the many soldiers who have lost limbs in the fighting.

Downing Street took the unusual step of issuing a statement in response to the furore.

Defence Secretary Bob Ainsworth said: “Our brave Armed Forces put their lives on the line for all of us and deserve the utmost respect.�

There were gasps from the 2,500-strong audience at the Manchester Apollo on Friday night as Carr wrapped up his stand-up routine with the joke: “Say what you like about the servicemen amputees from Iraq and Afghanistan, but we are going to have a ****ing good Paralympics team in 2012.�

Shadow Defence Secretary Liam Fox said: “Our Armed Forces are the first to have a rough and ready sense of humour but this goes beyond the pale.� And Colonel Richard Kemp, a former Commander of British Forces in Afghanistan, branded Carr a “disgrace�.

James Cockburn, stepfather of Marine Ben McBean, who lost an arm and a leg in a Taliban attack in February 2008, said the joke was “in poor taste�.

Ironically, Carr gave Ben, 22, a signed copy of his book when he visited Headley Court rehabilitation centre in Surrey, although the comic left him cold. “Ben thought he was a bit of a numpty,� said Mr Cockburn.

SAS legend Andy McNab said that while Carr has a point – a number of amputee servicemen have been snapped up for the Paralympics because of their athleticism and determination – “it’s not a subject for humour�.

The sad thing is that its true but most certainly not funny, the stupid cnut

I never like'd the smarmy cunt
He's got a face you'd never tire of punching


Although I suppose he does have a point still not his place to say it for laughs

Fuck it I'm off to get the outrage bus work tickets whose coming ?

That'll do for me.

Jimmy Carr is a cock anyway. Lets get him on the next CSE, where he can say jokes like that and see if he comes home with all his limbs.

Although to be fair, we will have a blinding Para Olympics team. I can't wait for the first time it's in the press that most of the team where in a pub celebrating when naked bar was called.

Edited: for having mong typing ability

Bloody hell, get over yourselves. He's a comedian ffs, and what';s more a comedian who is known for being close to the bone. If you don't like it, dont watch, simples! He makes jokes about many unsavoury topics like rape being surprise sex for example, just like Frankie Boyle making jokes about paedophilia, doesn't mean that he means it personally.

I can't see the problem really. It's just a joke and I think that he's quite right, we will have a bloody good team in the next Paralympics.

Carr is a smug git, but if that comment had been made on here first then I guaranteed it would have been classed as genius by many.

Might be worth going down Ladbrokes and putting a bet on the number of medals won by Britain at the next Paraolympics. :D
