Just because you're offended, doesn't grant you the power to complain about/censor such content from others. Comedians should have freedom of speech like everyone else, and arts end of the day... If you are weary of/don't like a comedian, don't follow his/her stuff

How dare you try and close down freedom of speech for people who think Boyle is a twat.

This is a bit odd 2 years on. Anyway, who mentioned censoring him? And why should people not have the right to complain? He has the right to say what he wants, those who hear him have the right to respond. That's free speech. I'm not exactly a fan of the 'writing to the BBC/Ch4/whoever model', but I'm not having somebody say I can't respond to what I find offensive or tedious, especially in the name of free speech.
