Frankie Boyle v Katie Price: Please contact Ofcom

77 replies

Katie Price is getting her lawyers involved after Frankie Boyle made a joke about her son Harvey on his Tramadol Nights show:

'I have a theory about the reason Jordon - she needed a man strong enough to stop Harvey from fucking her'

He also said:

'Jordon and Peter Andre are still fighting each other over custody of Harvey - eventually one of them will lose and one of them will have to keep him'

Let's support Katie Price and Harvey and report this cold-hearted fucker to Ofcom. If he comes anywhere near my town, I think I might pay him a visit.

That's disgusting and IMO so is C4's response to it.

Shame on both of them Angry Angry

Sooosleepy · 10/12/2010 17:57

Have just complained to Ofcom - that fucker should be banned from appearing on television. Makes me so angry!

nightmarebeforechristmas · 10/12/2010 18:00

nightmare, the video clip has been removed from YouTube but someone has posted a homemade video from the TV on there. Avoid if you feel you have heard enough!

Have complained. How low of him to essentially try and "take the piss" out of a child with a disability. I hope that ofcom take action.

CerysM · 10/12/2010 19:26

It was the most sickening thing I'd ever heard. And I'd love FB or indeed Channel 4 to explain why racist/ islamophobic/ homophobic jokes would never make it on air but disabled children are exempt from such PC protection. Surely they are without doubt the most vulnerable members of any society?

1percentawake · 10/12/2010 19:56

Also complained - I'm maybe a bit daft but couldn't see how to make a complaint to Ofcom so complained directly to C4. Am glad it has made the papers as clearly enough people see it as being totally repugnant.

What a sick, vile man. I am not a Katie Price fan but my heart goes out to her and Harvey.
Have made a complaint to OFCOM with the following note attached:

I would like to make an official complaint about Frankie Boyles sick joke about Katie Prices disabled son, Harvey. I believe in 2010 we should NOT live in a society where it is acceptable to make VILE jokes about people with disabilities. his vile man verbally attacked an innocent disabled child on national television. It is a disgrace and needs investigating and appropriate action taken. How are we meant to live in a society that protects the most vulnerable when this sort of thing is broadcast.
I think he owes Katie, Harvey and the general public an apology and should donate any money he received from this show to an appropriate charity.
I look forward to hearing your response.

Appearing in Newcastle, Birmingham & Liverpool over the next week. Any MNers live near these? .....

TessTheSeasonToBeJolly · 10/12/2010 21:25

Am thinking of standing outside with a collection tin in aid of the Harvey Price Legal fund. Angry

nightmarebeforechristmas · 10/12/2010 21:33

what I find sad is the people who will still defend him by putting the blame on KP

Hangingbellyofbabylon · 10/12/2010 21:34

I have put my complaint into Ofcom. Utterly vile little man.

Hangingbellyofbabylon · 10/12/2010 21:37

is it just be or is it doubly vile that the joke had a sexual element to it? I would feel sickened by any joke at the expense of a disabled child (or adult) but to hear any child being talked about as trying to fuck their own mother is so beyond vile, it's a form of sexual abuse and harrassment and I really feel Frankie Boyle should not get away with this (but let's face it, he will.)

Morloth · 10/12/2010 21:56

Katie Price is fair game but Harvey is not, I hope she goes for the throat and beggars him, I would in her position. Can't think of a better use for all those expensive lawyers.

tiredmummyneedswineandsleep · 10/12/2010 22:09

wish i lived close to one of those venues as would be up for giving him what for.

nightmarebeforechristmas · 10/12/2010 22:13

My 7 year old inadvertantly saw a (thankfully quite sanitised) news item about this and was furiously angry. If a 7 year old can see the issue...

tiredmummyneedswineandsleep · 10/12/2010 22:20

nighmarebeforechristmas- i love it!

Grr.

Belatedly found that my rant to Ofsted has to fit into 1,500 characters. Angry

I would if I could. Love the idea of collecting for the Harvey Price Legal Fund Tess! I am much less subtle and would go for lobbing dog shit at him or pelting him with eggs
