I never thought Jimmy Carr particularly funny but more so when he made the utterly revolting claim on a Netflix show that one of the benefits of the
Holocaust was the decimation of the
Gypsy race.
There was some condemnation of this "thigh slapper" joke by Jewish representatives although some what mooted.
His TV sidekick
Rachel Riley who at times falsely accused
Jeremy Corbyn of antisemitism remained zip lipped.
It's quite fascinating how one ugly incidence of racism can be largely over-looked.
I've never been able to watch this alleged comedian since.
