Where are 'comedians' of colour doing these sorts of things? Would he have got a pass though? Mind you is he gay? That would at least mean that minority is getting a look in.

Perhaps we should discuss the level of comedic genius of the stunt. For me it was almost as funny as Citizen Khan, Miranda, that thing with jasper Carrot in it with loads of ethnic characters and people in wheelchairs, and Jack Dee's latest offering.

I think some on here seem to have had a bit of a sense of humour failure over it. Funny or not, it's not that big of a deal and calling him and others names is a bit OTT. It was a prank highlighting the infighting in the cabinet, the instability of the government and the fact that May is unfit for her job. It seems those for whom those truths are uncomfortable have taken this very badly!

One may gloss over it as a mere prank but it was serious enough for a major security investigation to be underway last night into how the nitwit got so close to the PM and why it took 2 minutes for him to be bundled him out of the hall before he was arrested.

Just maybe you could add that to the success of his prank.
