I think there's a difference between mocking disabled children in general (not that I find that funny) and mocking a particular disabled child, that's really as low as a person can get

Tramadol nights wasn't laughable either thats the bottom line...

amen I would love katie price to take him to court for discrimination too...i dont like her but she has every right to defend her disabled son against this disgusting discrimination....with her power and wealth she would tear him to pieces in any court of law....the law doesnt defend any comedian discriminating against specific disabled children. if a person doesnt think thats sick, then that person must be sick too

Absolutely! My guess would be harvey was a target due to the seemingly universal hatred of his mother....
There was a definate feel that he could say whatever the hell he liked as it was about jordan in my opinion.
Anyone else there would have been a much bigger backlash.

I think she did and rightly so, his case with the mirror is prob just him trying to recoup his losses...pathetic really, moral of the story is if you can't take it don't dish it out!

Comedians joke about race, fat people, gay people, every kind of person you can think of yet they can't mock disabled people?

If you can't mock one thing then you can't mock any of them imo.

n December 2010, both Katie Price and Peter Andre were said to have been left "absolutely disgusted and sickened" by a joke that was made on Frankie Boyle's Tramadol Nights about Price's heavily disabled son, Harvey. On the show, Boyle said: "Apparently Jordan and Peter Andre are fightin' each other over custody of Harvey, well eventually one of them'll lose and have to keep him." Then he added: "I have a theory that Jordan married a cage fighter cause she needed someone strong enough to stop Harvey from ****in' her."

In a response, Katie Price said: "Harvey Price is a little miracle. Every day he overcomes so many difficulties and has so many battles to win due to his medical problems. I love him and am deeply proud to be his mother. If Mr Boyle had a tenth of his courage and decency, he would know that to suggest, let alone think funny, that Harvey may sexually attack me is vile and deeply unfair. Mr Boyle clearly has serious issues and those that give him a TV platform to say such disgusting things need to look at themselves very honestly."

Andre's representative also responded to the comments made by Boyle and said "We're all disgusted by these comments. Peter is angry and very upset at Harvey being mocked in this way. Children, especially a disabled youngster, should be off-limits." Both confirmed that they had sought legal action and wrote a complaint to Channel 4 regarding Boyle's jokes with Price saying: "To bully this unbelievably brave child is despicable; to broadcast it is to show a complete and utter lack of judgement. I have asked my lawyers to write to Channel 4." Ofcom confirmed that Price issued a complaint and accordingly launched an investigation into the programme. In April 2011 Ofcom ruled Channel 4 had breached broadcasting rules by transmitting the material in question but did not require the network to broadcast an apology saying that it was "erroneous decision on a matter of editorial judgment on the broadcaster's part". Price criticised the decision not to require a broadcast apology.

I'm no fan of KP's and she's far from being the world's best mother, but I was right behind her on this one ..... Boyle, yet again, proving himself to be a moronic a$$hole .....

I suspect that you are unfamiliar with the difficulties faced by the parents of disabled children .....

not first hand, but i'd predict it wont be easy, but she seems to be doing a great job.

but why a comedian taking the p**s out of her should effect her life, is beyond me, she's the one that publicises every thing she does and puts her son in that enviroment, just so she can make millions, she puts herself up to be mocked

[MTVN]

Agree with wannashag, she's always forcing Harvey into the public eye and uses him for publicity a lot and that is gonna open up the possibility of some using that for comedy, it does kinda come with the territory of broadcasting every single aspect of your life

[Tom4784]

Papers are meant to print facts, if they say that someone's a racist when they aren't then they're susceptible to lawsuits, comparing the papers to the content of a stand up act is a foolish comparison really as they aren't bound by the same laws.

So, because KP "puts herself up to be mocked", FB can use her acutely disabled son as a tool to "take the p**s out of her " - how clever ..... ..... and he can make millions into the bargain .....

The parents of the 770,000 disabled children in the UK will undoubtedly be ROFL'ing all the way to the food bank .....

What have Nuts and Facebook got to do with anything?

In all seriousness it's not right what he said and it does sound like an attack on Katie Price than an actual joke, but loads of comedians make racist jokes so I still stand by my point that he shouldn't be branded a racist for it.

Two wrongs don't make a right - he becomes as bad as her, and as much a sordid stereotype.

Sure but he should also be prepared to face the consequences of his sickening comments.

well thats his problem, it wont affect my life so i dont care
i'm not saying what he say's is a good thing, i dont really care for him myself he's no where near in the top ten british stand up comedians, but if thats what he wants to say, then i dont believe someones freedom of speach should be surpressed, i wouldn't come up with some of the things he says, but each to their own.
