He won the case by a unanimous verdict thankfully. I'm glad to see common sense prevailed whilst sticking a massive middle finger up to the humourless, misguided and tabloid-worshiping fools who are offended on other people's behalf and think they have a right to tell other people what can and cannot be shown or said in the bounds of comedy. My only issue with this case is that the payout should've been more.
I also hope this sparks a trend of more people suing these abhorrent tabloid newspapers so that they become defunct. Quote:

And you're going to dispute an official, unanimous verdict in a court of law? You might not like his humour, fine. But he isn't a racist, that's an absurd, defamatory and offensive claim and to honour it just because you don't like someone's work is just laughable and also quite childish. His work and jokes are anti-racist, it doesn't take a genius to work out the underlying message. To take these jokes seriously and believe that they have actual racist tones to them... Quote:

Common sense wins.
Nice to see for once in this society that seems so desperate to be offended. |

Glad to see he won this case. Hes a bit of an unfunny douche IMO a lot of the time (though I have giggled occasionally at tramadol nights when my dad had it on ), but I wouldnt say he was racist.

I'm glad he won his case he is not a racist he is a comedian who walks a fine line with his brand of comedy, where NO Subject is off limits. His subject matter is controversial but that is the essence of humour, there is humour in all human interactions they may be unpalatable to some in which case turn off , don't listen or watch. But the humour is still there and a vast number of broad minded people can enjoy this sort of dark humour without branding the person delivering the material as responsible for it.
And as a footnote I personally find Frankie Boyles comic timing and delivery superb, easily the funniest comedian on Mock the Week. Glad he won as its a victory for freedom of speech and freedom of comedy expression. |
