He was, although, in the grand scheme of things... he's been sacked by Ch4 who have such a great track record on disability

Take a look at the Guardian article Shaun (link in blog above) where they list his specific disablist jokes!

To be fair, he didnt make any jokes about the paralympics that were taking the piss out of anyone's disabilities, nor was he sacked by ch. 4 as he didn't even have a job or contract with them. But at least it allowed the tabloids to attack him whilst ignoring all the other stuff that disabled people are having to put up with from the paralympics sponsors, for example, which is a far sicker joke than anything Frankie Boyle could come up with.

not solely disabled people, there's a fair bit of racism thrown in there as well

I have always been pro free speech but this is horrendous!
