Those LB sketches with his "disabled" character faking disability when in view was actually cited in the 2010 election campaign itself by the Tories as a reason to get tough on "scroungers" as they implied that was basically every disabled person in the land. Yes. I blame him. I had friends who died because of the Tories war on the disabled. Don't try an exculpate him in those deaths. His sketches primed the social pump for that, sowed the seed of the later bigotry.

I am not defending Matt Lucas.

I am saying that he is not solely or primarily responsible for the Tory campaigns against disabled people, and that his presence alone does not make a TV program unwatchable crap.

It does for me. I don't like watching people whose idea of comedy led to my friends dying.

I sincerely doubt it was a single comedy sketch that convinced the Tories to run their campaign, and convinced others to support it.

It's bizarre that you're blaming a comedian more than the politicians, as if saying, "the TV made me do it" is enough to remove responsibility for someone's actions.

Anybody who knows anything about the Tory Gov knows that they can easily hate and ruin the lives of people with disabilities without the influence of a single, barely relevant in the past decade comedy show.

DA
I second this.
