DIDO.1 22,637 Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 Recently there has been a few good discussions and threads that have stayed fairly respectful.... ....so was Jimmy Carrs joke about travellers and the holocaust acceptable or not? Should he be 'cancelled'? Where do we draw the line and who draws it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lenmcharristar 9,732 Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 Cancelling is thought crime, defo not, its not like hes calling for public beheadings or rape of young girls etc etc, cancel culture by the terminally offended will eat itself after theres nothing left to cancel, just another weird term created by freaks, weirdo and all round nosey ba$tards that dont have a life if their own outside sitting stalking people on the net, if these freaks would just turn the gadgets off and go outside then they wouldnt have any reason to cry 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Borr 5,825 Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 I don't find him particularly funny, he's purely out to shock people, I think if people want to pay to watch him and he can make a living from it why not , would I go to see him, nope. Don't mind 9/10 cats etc but more for the guess comedians and quite liked Sean lock and couple of others. I don't get cancel culture, turn it off if you don't like it. Freedom of speech is a big part of our western ideals , and I don't want some snowflake/BLM/woke jobless hippy student telling me what I can say/do /watch.... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Free speech is always acceptable, if you don’t like the bloke don’t watch him, everyone today seems to want to be offended by something or someone, put it down to the internet we’re cowards and Shiite houses thrive and spread there poison 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tatsblisters 9,517 Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 No doubt Sheffield labour council will ban him from performing their like they did chubby brown it's a slippery slope that's now well established with the woke left wing extremist's in society that are gaining ground week in week out . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dinosaurs 2,037 Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 What was the actual joke?? Atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE STIFFMEISTER 15,743 Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 Personally , I thought it was abhorrent and he wouldn’t have gotten away with saying it about any other of the tick box ethnicities without mass outrage. awful really when you think what he could say about them.

chartpolski 23,278 Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) I think the "Professionaly Outraged" are a bit late on this one. He said, what some would consider, far worse about gypsies, back when Dale Farm was all over the news, on his 8 out of 10 cats program. If this latest nonsense wasn't linked to the holocast, we wouldn't have been aware of it. If you ban the likes of Carr and Chubby Brown, where does it lead ? Nish Kumar and other woke, anti Tory, anti Brexit "comedians" are all that would be left ! Cheers. Edited February 12, 2022 by chartpolski 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

smithie 2,443 Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 I think you can tell a joke about anything once or twice as your ment to see a joke as a joke. There are topics I don't like jokes made about as they can be close to home but hey if it's funny it's funny and I'll get over one or two . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
si brown 8,486 Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 Saw him on the seafront bout 10 years back, got tickets given so thought I’d have a look , most of the show was funny then he got on about disabled kids and that was enough for me.. wasn’t funny in the slightest! you could see people cringing:( im surprised he dint get bottled off the stage. im all for taking the piss but there’s limits 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing if he suggested that edl members should be gassed there would be no outrage...... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
