This has to be career ending.

Remember when Julian Clary was cancelled for years because he made a gag about Norman Lamont’s red box? Come on @Channel4 @NetflixUK this is way over the line.

So I did verify that he said it. I’m afraid he did. I’m afraid I’m now falling into the trap of helping it go viral which rather seems to have been the point. But it’s Catch-22 - if we say nothing then this will be seen as OK. It isn’t.

He follows it up with an attempt to justify in terms which are pure sophistry - you’re not being edgy or philosophical, Jimmy, you’re gunning for laughs with sick jokes, we all went through that phase in our early teens. Yeah, it should be career-ending, I hope it is.
