Reported today in the Sunday Express Jimmy Carr has been slammed by downing street for the following gag, regarding wounded soldiers in Afghanistan.

'Say what you like about the servicemen amputee's from Iraq and Afghanistan, but we are going to have a ****ing good Paralympics team in 2012'

Downing Streets defence Secretary Bob Ainsworth said 'Our brave armed forces put their life on the line for all of us and deserve the utmost respect'

Jimmy Carr has appologised and said it was only a gag with the intention of making people laugh and he does have respect for the soldiers, he has visited wounded soldiers in hospital before and lifted their spirits.

As they said on "Live from Studio 5" lots of people are getting behind Jimmy. Soliders have phoned and written to the show saying that they themselves have said worse things, its some peoples humour. Soliders take the mick out of it as well.

You know what people do other than joke? They complain about every single *****ing thing. We shouldn't change what and who we are and what we do to cater for people like this. People get offended every day. ***** them.

I'm just really annoyed that Carr decided to apologise in the end. If he had any backbone he would have stuck to his guns.
