Took two seconds

The woman in question claims to be of Roma origin though, so I'm not sure what Nick's point is. Did you tell her you think she's overdoing it, Nick?

Of course she is overdoing it but she got some attention, likes and followers.

The bizarre thing is, most people offended will only be offended because it was reported in media/social media after offending someone…rather than after watching it themselves

Exactly. It's as if some of them don't know that it's a comedy act and think he is preaching hate.

This guy jokes about killing gingers. Maybe a movement can be started? There are ginger people sat shaking.

He is also very funny!

Errr…. She is of that origin it would appear. Unless of course you are suggesting we should DNA test her to check her authenticity.

I'm suggesting that she is jumping on the bandwagon of being offended and she wasn't actually sat shaking.

My daughter has close Romany heritage from her mum's side. I don't think Jimmy Carr wants to murder my child.

What I don’t understand is why this joke is getting so much attention but the blatant racism from Whoopi Goldberg goes unnoticed. The Transylvania vampire Ms Potter seems upset at Golderg only as dark skinned people were also exterminated in the Holocaust

Nick being a c**t again shock

In the end I don't see an issue with the GRT community being upset about a joke about the attempted genocide of their people and I don't see the issue with other people being repulsed by what is a fucking horrible racist joke.

If Mad Nad thinks you have gone to far you need to have a look at yourself

I think he should be allowed to make the joke but I think he's a massive c**t for making it. Don't think more needs to be said.

Took you a while but you made it to post. You seen the whole thing and how it's explained?

Just as I said, it's the same old people on here making out they are holier than thou. Never told a sick joke, never laughed at a sick joke and they are all perfect in every way. All complete hypocrites.

On a side note, when did they tories become pro cancel culture?

Jimmy Carr’s joke about Roma people ‘deeply disturbing’, says No 10

Exactly my point and why it was fully expected he would chirp up. The biggest hypocrite on here.

Same people would laugh if it was joking about killing people they don't like (ie the Farage and battery acid type thing).

They are all jokes.

That’s the right, grown up* response I think LG. It was his right to make the joke and yours to form and share that opinion of him. The additional stuff of trying to pressure Netflix into cancelling Carr and removing the show is just wrong. Just like Neil Young and others wanting Spotify punished in some way for having Joe Rogans show on. I don’t agree with his or his interviewees views but I don’t want it banned otherwise where does it end

*not intended to sound patronising !

To be fair a few other people have said similar.
The only person still going over the top is Nick who now thinks that actual Romas are making too much of it.

I don’t think he should be banned but I think he’s a c**t for making the ‘joke’ and don’t think it’s particularly ‘edgy’.

OK so there was no exaggeration, at all.

Will have David O'day going on about his work for Romany Gypsy charities soon.

Just a lot of hypocrisy as always with some on here.

I wasn’t necessarily referring to people on here wanting Carr banned, more the noise on social media. I think comedy to an extent needs to be left alone as someone will always be offended by something a comedian says

It's a boring person's idea of an edgy joke. Holocaust humour is year 8 shit and it was probably enjoyed by the most boring person in your office who never gets invited to the pub but constantly talks about how mad they are.

The only thing that has annoyed me about it is the celeb dinner party circuit circling their wagons to protect one of their mates when they spend loads of their time on social media pretending to give a shit.

The thing is, he explains the joke before and after.

The show is called "His Dark Materials". There are hundreds of jokes, some funny and some not funny.

It's like going to watch Frankie Boyle or somebody and heckling him then wondering why you get abuse.

Possibly as she’s American. I think over there it’s rightly making more news.

The Whoopi Goldberg story went unnoticed? She got suspended and every news outlet in the world ran a story about it, despite the fact The View isn't even broadcast here.

I haven't called for Jimmy Carr to be cancelled, but according to Nick I might get as many as 60 retweets by pretending I was upset, so tbh I'm considering changing my views.

It is when they are only bothered because they have seen it on social media and next week they won't give a shit. I bet half of them couldn't even tell you the actual joke.

How many people on here can say they have never laughed at a joke about a tragedy in some shape or form that's dark?

You might get a few more than that. Make sure you put (he/him/his) in your name first and that's bound to get a few more too.

You've no idea if they've seen it or not, no idea if they're Roma or not.
You seem to be getting worked up about it.
I've no problem with Carrs joke, but I've got no problem with people kicking off about them. I think these debates are quite healthy in a society.

Who cares if he "explained" the "joke"? holocaust humour is immature shit as LG said.

There seems to actually be more tory cabinet members calling for Carr to be boycotted than on here.

It's a vile joke but one he should be able to make but he also should be told he is a cunt7 who is making shot racist jokes if he does make it

I'm not worked up in the slightest? Much the same as I haven't said anybody on here is going on about him being cancelled.

I just literally pointed out people are going over the top with how offended they are.

Then you have the hypocrite David O'Day being a prime example.

She got suspended for 2 weeks - wow - my point is Ms Van Helsing said she was incorrect as some brown people were killed in the Holocaust - classy

Why do you keep chucking out the word hypocrite then? For people calling out him for being an unfunny twat and a really poor joke?
