His Dark Joke
was Rape and Kill Holly Willoughby. At a Festival in todays papers https://www.scotsman.com/news/people...oughby-3788341 In Todays i paper their site is terrible mess [Boyle, 49, defended the remarks when questioned by an audience member at a Waterstones launch event for his latest novel.] [At the time, the End Violence Against Women Coalition commented: 'His tweet trivialises the experience of rape victims and sends a signal to those who might commit rape that it is not a serious crime. Revolting.' Elsewhere in his Latitude Festival set, Boyle defended people's right to be offended by jokes but he admitted that he had stopped posting gags on Twitter in order to avoid repercussions. He cited one example where he considered making a joke about the death of Sir Sean Connery.] Last edited by arista; 01-08-2022 at 05:02 AM. |
