Reader's letter: "To ban Roy Chubby Brown is a fascist act"
Over last couple of weeks I have taken notice of the Council v Chubby Brown.
To ban him is a fascist act surely. If people are offended by his comedy they won’t buy tickets, those who like him, will pay their money to enjoy an evening in his company.
What bothers me more is the same council saying it spoils the city’s image, but it’s fine for Jimmy Carr to come to the city. Jimmy Carr’s routine includes jokes about rape and disabled people. Double standards, I think, and as for the city’s image, the council should spend more time cleaning the city of smack and spiceheads, who are all over the city centre, who cause trouble for all of us.
Just because something offends some people, who won’t be buying tickets anyway, is a ridiculous reason to ban it.
