Boyle, Blunkett and the hypocrisy of the Paralympic Games

Comedian( or vile comedian if you read the Daily Mail) Frankie Boyle is in the news again, this time for 'controversial' tweets about the the paralympics. However if anybody actually bothered to read his tweets, they appear to be mocking football fans, autocratic regimes and Britains decision to go to war rather than disabled people. He made one joke about  blind high jumpers guide dogs being hanged. Well Frankie, that's a load of bollocks as, as David Blunkett found out at the opening ceremony, Guide Dogs are not allowed in. Blunkett, probably the most high profile blind person in Britain was refused entry to the ceremony as he had his guide dog with him. What a great advert for the equality for disabled when they won't even let a guide dog in. Yet it is Boyle plastered all over the papers for a few quite tame jokes.
