Frankie Boyle

I would like to defend Frankie Boyle for his mistaken disgusting behaviour on his show on Channel 4. Frankie Boyle brought up Jordans son Harvey who has a severe disability and lightly mocked this which to some was seen as disrespect instead of a joke. Frankie Boyle did not intend to insult Harvey but to give the audience something to laugh about. A celebrity like Frankie Boyle who has regular comedy shows displayed on TV would not choose now of all times to intentionally disrespect someone elses disabled son unless it was something personal. Someone in his position who has a lot of fans and people who idolize him would not do this to be little him or to embaress Harvey or Jordan. Channel 4 encourage equality for all races, religions and disabilities and strongly aim to maintain this by making everyone equal. So jokes that might involve race, disability or religion is not intended to discriminate them but for them to feel included instead of discluded.
