'Positives? What's positive about murder?!... So that you can make money on Netflix you shyster! It's a disgrace Jimmy Carr!' David Lammy's blistering response to comedian Jimmy Carr over his Gypsy Holocaust joke. DavidLammy
Mr Carr, 49, opens his Netflix special His Dark Material – which aired on Christmas Day - with a "trigger warning" to the audience and Netflix described it as containing "career enders".
"Positives? What's positive about murder? So that you can make money on Netflix you shyster! It's a disgrace Jimmy Carr, it's not funny. "I've got a platform, so I'm standing up to you. That was cruel, it was wicked, it was mean, it was done for a small laugh." Not-for-profit organisation the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust shared a statement on Twitter from their CEO Olivia Marks-Woldman who said she was "horrified" to hear "gales of laughter" following Carr's remarks.
