Frankie Boyle explains how most of UK feel about Trump

originally posted by: Revolution9that hasbeen not funny not comedian

well, he's still here, and i laughed. i think a comedian like Frankie (for yes, he is one despite not tickling your
funnybone) has an innate understanding of clowns (like trump), and is qualified to offer his informed opinions as he pleases. it was a good piece in my opinion.

Frankie certainly does highlight the darkest within us !

he basically says the # that you shouldnt say aloud

like this

My friend just had a baby , brings baby to your house , hey man do you like my wee baby boy
your brain out of nowhere goes " naw he's a droolin faced wee # and I hope he chokes on a lego brick , left on the floor by your other wee # of a child"
Frankie is those dark invasive thoughts , and also the satirical commentary on our country and the world

His jokes on Madeleine Mcann are outright mad , but they are still really funny

Mel brooks man , what a guy , they dont make comedy films like that anymore

I would love for you to indulge me on what you think he's up to?

Until American nukes start flying, the whole article is a load of a bollocks.

Frankie Boyle is left wing?

Maybe you should listen to him instead of blanket disliking him.

I have listened to him, that's why I dislike him - I don't know how you "blanket" dislike someone, is it like making unfounded blanket statements like yours.

That is what makes him so funny in my eyes he pushes the boundaries like they did in the 70s , He is old school like Bernard Manning , Dave Allen ,Roy chubby Brown , too over the top for television and our snowflake generation but he earns millions per year so somebody likes him .

Brexit proves you wrong. The majority of the UK spoke in the last election and they voted for alternative answers to the traditional corrupt government, just like the Americans did by voting Trump in. Remember, Trump is neither our savior or satan. He's a man working in a corrupt system trying to make changes that will try to be thwarted at all levels, even within his own systematic party.[/quote



Do you think if it was to be voted for again do you think it would have the same outcome? I very much doubt it would because (a) so many young people didn't vote because they wrongly assumed brexit wouldn't happen and (b) a lot of people realise that there are real complications and costs to leaving the EU. So saying the majority of the U.K. voted to leave probably doesn't tell the whole story in reality.

I'm from the UK , Scotland to be precise and though I don't agree with some of frankie boyles politics I do think he's hilarious. I also think Trump is a breath of fresh air in a corrupt world of politics even if I don't agree with all his policies.
I find it very amusing reading all the posters in this thread who think they know the mind of a nation and all the people in it . Another thing i find amusing is all the polls which were wrong that predicted, amongst other things scottish devolution, Brexit , general elections and American presidential elections .

TWAT doesn't MEAN a dirty name for a woman's anatomy in the UK.
We say "BLOODY" without any gravitas as they know of it.
Don't forget "FAG"(Cigarette) either ...NOT these days...

a reply to: BlackSkinhead

And what would you have been doing right now if Hillary had won? I'll tell you one thing, it isn't sitting around annoyed at some rhetoric said, but rather protesting another flat out war. Everyone talks like Trump is the worst thing ever, yet the alternatives to him are a hundred times, if not more, worse.

The sheer stupidity amongst some is astounding.

It does sometimes actualy but it is more often used as a harsher version of idiot or can also mean to his something or somebody.

You can also say you "twatted" something or someone.

No they didn't. They voted for the same old parties but not enough to give Theresa May a secure majority.

UKIP has zero MPs.

Of course, you could be referring to the EU referendum - but, still, no they didn't.

17,410, 742 people voted to leave. Out of an electorate of 46. 501,241. Out of a population of, what, 60 million.

Yes, that was 52% of votes cast. But its 37 % of the electorate. 29 % of the population.

Check my figures - you're on the internet, look it up - and check my maths.

You know I'm right.

The best thing of all is that so much of his stuff was on mainstream TV.

No more unfounded than saying Frankie Boyle is left wing.

the title says 'most'... brits. don't dare use fallacies to diminish the OP...

you're not one of those 'most'...

Then perhaps you or the OP can cite some sources to prove your claim, otherwise this is just an opinion.

Us IMPATIENT Americans default to that "F" word, so well known,usually with the BEST diction of the sentence.

Hillary would have been contained into the system that is in place and would be corralled the same as her husband was in the past. I have no illusions that Trump can break the hold of the largely corrupt system. Just being realistic. Trump is neither our savior nor our satan.

I found out yesterday some people in our country wrongly believe it is a word for a pregnant goldfish!

Goldfish however cannot get pregnant. They are not even oviviparious (sp?).

Yeh he did

for some reason I believe Trump would
