I also note your refusal to engage with an actual Frankie Boyle fan on this thread which would suggest your issue with myself is a personal one or that you have an issue with women in general, maybe both.

The festival began from humble roots. I'm sure Anthony or anyone else who reads Anthony's blog from west Belfast would agree. It began with street Gerard.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03755318383331114316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-87633444901503923852015-07-31T13:04:34.701+01:002015-07-31T13:04:34.701+01:00The down syndrome assoc buying tickets to see Fran...The down syndrome assoc buying tickets to see Frankie Boyle ?why are those who are complaining about so called intolerance being so intolerant,its because of wankers such as these that tickets for Frankie,s show are now gold dust,I for one will not be put of seeing this excellent alternative comedian, seen him in Aberdeen cant wait for the Belfast gig,if you really want to laugh at something martyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09814904389826171437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-31413684097386638332015-07-31T13:00:31.503+01:002015-07-31T13:00:31.503+01:00Peter

At no stage did I question the right to protest, everyone has that right and I for one would defend that right. What I did point out is that in some cases boycotting can be more effective.

For what what it's worth I think Frankie Boyle just takes the piss out of a sick society. The man clearly has a social conscience. The thing is do these protests ever work?

Aren't protests showing that you are offended? Offended at political policing? No point in protesting outside courts when paedophile are on trial, just stay away and don't waste your time?
