Nice try

I think on the whole punching up/punching down scale of comedy, making jokes about MPs of the ruling British political party isn’t quite comparable to jokes about the Roma community. But you know this.

Guess it just depends where the bandwagon is. Both are just Jokes from comedians.

he’s a smug twat but if you ban him and his type then that’s absurd

Jo Brand saying milkshake should be replaced by battery acid for Tory politicians was just as outrageous but Ian I suspect wasn’t complaining

Well I think he’s avoiding the question and oddly the Twitter brigade were not so objecting then and also the outraged MP who also believed Jews are Nazis oddly hasn’t been addressed either

This is over the top but pretty funny

Six of the worst Zarah Sultana moments

It’s not been a great week for MPs covering themselves in glory. But amid all the malarkey over Owen Paterson and Claudia Webbe, one of their colleagues was embarrassing themselves in a more traditional way: the car-crash television interview. Step forward, Zarah Sultana, whose antics on...

Don’t particularly find him that funny, but it seems a massive overreaction. Ricky Gervais, Frankie Boyle and many more made just as bad jokes in the past.

Can’t be arsed to read 7 pages of it in this thread but can’t believe this is even a topic. It’s a joke. It wasn’t particularly funny but it was just a joke. Had a small giggle and moved on.

That’s what that type of comedy is - pushing the boundaries. If you don’t like it don’t want it fuck off.

Load of virtue signalling cunts need a life

I still maintain that ‘jokes’ about British people being blown up in terrorist attacks, soldiers being gunned down etc would be met with outrage on here.

Well you’d be hard to make a specific joke on that but Frankie Boyle has made the odd IRA blow up joke

Allport scale - Allport's Scale - Wikipedia

Is where this starts and one can see the steps from a tasteless joke about a race (gypsys) to extermination. Often in hindsight of course

It’s a real challenge as I love humour that oversteps the mark

The contradictions and hypocrisy shown when people challenge it are pretty hilarious too.

I am more concerned about the likes of what Chubby Brown is doing (even though he's not on Netflix) rather than a bad taste Jimmy Carr joke.

Is Chubby Brown really still doing jokes about n*ggers with big lips and Pakistanis smelling?
