Statement from Channel Four:
Frankie Boyle is a comedian who makes all kind of jokes about
people and everyone finds him funny. Frankie loves pushing his boundaries; he
likes to explore new areas and see how they work for him and how the crowed
react to it.
Frankie said a joke about Harvey Price (Kate Price a.k.a
Jordan’s disabled son) in which he said “I have a feeling that Jordan married a
cage fighter because she needed someone strong enough to stop Harvey from f**king
her”. The joke got negative attention from viewers and some of them even
complained to Ofcom, The regulators of Channel 4 are aware of what Frankie said
but they have taken into account the way in which Katie exposes her children to
the media which doesn’t make her any better of a person.
The joke may have not of been appropriate for his audience and
people watching at home which have made several complaints including Jordan herself.
I’m writing this statement on Frankie’s behalf for any offence caused but he is
also allowed to say what he wants to say because he is entitled to the freedom
of speech. Also, equality is something we have to keep in mind and have to ask
our selves what makes Harvey so special that no joke can be made about him? If
we are all equal then Mr.Boyle has done no wrong.
