Penguin Books is publicising a livestream event.

Join @guardian columnist and activist @OwenJones84 as he talks to comedian @frankieboyle about his new book, This Land. You will also get the chance to ask your questions at this livestreamed event, so make sure you're prepared. Incredibly, they're charging for entrance.

I don't think I've ever seen a tweet with 100% negative responses before. Plenty of them referencing Boyle's abhorrent so called jokes about women and people with disabilities. Here are just a few of the others.

Two men, who have blocked anyone who even mildly challenges their world view, are going to share their echo chamber with people who agree with them? Riveting stuff.

Will they be able to hear the questions if they're spoken by a female voice? (Given their combined distaste for members of the female sex?)

So sorry but it's my pet snail's birthday that day.

If you fill the audience with the women they've both blocked on Twitter, you'll need to hire Wembley stadium to accommodate them all.

I can just look down me top and see a pair of tits for free, thanks.

Sorry, I'm painting a millipede's toenails that day.

^I'm sorely tempted however I would much prefer to rub mustard in my eyes, it seems more worthwhile and ultimately less painful.
Best of luck with the event though.^

"Book early to ensure disappointment"

Do twitter have a 'classics' like mumsnet...?

This comment sums up what I've always thought about Boyle:

Agreed on Boyle though, very much. That’s what rubs people up the wrong way about him - he is incredibly harsh in his comedy but absolutely cannot take it in return.

Yes. That and the fact that he's selective in his targets. It's one thing if you take the view that for a comedian, everything has to be open season. And he used to portray himself like that. What he has done, though, is decided that slagging off a kid with Down's Syndrome is fine, but things he doesn't like about trans issues cross the line.

Surely someone needs to go to this event just to ask some awkward questions? Could we crowdfund someone's ticket? If we all put 50p in we could send a -victim- delegate. Since there will only be a few people there, it wouldn't be hard to put some pertinent questions to the lads.

'Book early to ensure disappointment' is genius.

He said that women's concerns re self ID were 'just really uninteresting' or something at one point.... do I have that right?

Has Frankie Boyle turned off comments on his Twitter? I don't follow him, but never seen a page before where there were zero comments on posts.

Yes, he has, nevermore. Wow. Thinner skinned than I even imagined.

When you look back at some of the vicious things he has said in the past, it's absolutely absurd. It's okay for him to 'joke' about raping women, about disabled children, etc etc etc. But god forbid anyone say they don't fancy listening to him and Owen pontificate, that's obviously hate speech.

Tee hee. He can be very funny at times, especially some of his satire relating to politicians, but it seems he has the flaw at the heart of all the worst bullies: can dish it out but not take it.

Andrew Lawrence does some very fine impressions, including our least favourite Beardy MacWokebro

MoleSmokes 🤣🤣that sums it up.
