And in other news, comedian's show in  Glasgow under review after 'anti semitism' from him at his London gig. I struggle to judge this without seeing it. I've seen a lot of stuff at comedy shows which out of context would be appalling.

ETA And a lot of stuff that was just appalling no matter whst the context was.

I wish they'd just cancel that dreadful programme, with its glorification of greed and selfishness, and its delusional, morally-inverted contestants. Ayn Rand would've loved it.

Yes it does.

They would be wrong.

However, I don't think saying "they shouldn't have created a Jewish state in the Levant" is necessarily anti-semitic. This person did use some inflammatory and factually incorrect language in his post though.
