I agree. Now he's all over the newspapers and might even get a platform on the television. I don't care who is the butt of his jokes. Better and more gifted comedians like Billy Connolly continue to have people rolling in the aisles at his ability to find humour in all sorts of things, from women's sexual emancipation to opera, without offending anyone, except those who don't like his liberal use of the "f" word.

The fact that a callous, selfish philanderer, who bragged and joked about wife-beating, was given an OBE makes me utterly sick to the stomach.
