I have never had a problem with OH. He is witty, observant and uses language well.
Sadly, he doesn't take much care about choosing which badgers to prod.
He should write for Private Eye or perhaps Oz.

An example of a wrong badger I think.

Black comic satirists will always overstep the mark sometimes.

Lenny Bruce, Jerry Sadowitz and Frankie Boyle are prime examples in my opinion, but they very often hit the mark with exquisite precision.

I usually found his posts to be amusing & entertaining on t'other side.
Although I agree that he sometimes picked on the 'wrong' subject.

Reading the article tho, it is different from how he portrayed himself on the other forum.

Public figures by and large deserve what they get DS and if it goes too far can afford legal redress

A private woman appallingly injured and fighting for her life and unborn baby in a hospital is a different case altogether.   OH and others have the mantra "you don't have to read it" deceitfully missing the point that the victim's friends, relatives and neighbours might well.

He's had 8 years and several prompts to apologise and never has.

Sky+ duly set for Thursday

I seek merely to state my opinion, not to defend it or OH.

I shall of course watch the program as well..

You obviously never sampled the delights of O.H. then ey?

Never did me any harm, in fact, found him fairly entertaining tbh.
Rattled quite a few cages in his time.

Funny. Always imagined him to be a knarley grumpy looking owld goat with a beard, so was a bit suprised when I saw the piccie of someone who looks more like a London cabbie driver....guv. lol:

My opinions were unchanged by the program and my despair at the PC takeover of all we do and say nowadays, was only raised a fraction.

I fear our way of life is much more likely to be destroyed by the preaching of radical Islamists trying to change us all, than OH and Frankie Boyle saying a few outrageous things.  noooo:

ITV said OH required anonymity before appearing on the programme.  His real name is only widely known because of events that trace back to what happened at GC.  The highly believable account of that is that a rogue admn inserted code into the PHP site that enabled him to discover details OH had marked private.

It is one man's opinion and we all have them .... you don't need to agree with them....

Okay for what is worth my two pennyworth:

I haven't read any 'OH' because (a) I choose not to and (b) I haven't had time, yet
I have, however, read all this threads posted opinions and I feel they are all are valid because they are your opinions
I don't think 'OH' or any of you should be damned for expressing opinion - if I don't like it I am capable of telling you, or can choose to ignore you

My six pennorth, FWIW, real abuse is the deliberate targeting of individuals with hate messages and death threats!

Such as, indeed, happened to OH after his comments (which were not targeted, i.e. sent directly to individuals) were placed on an open forum/blog

If I read somewhere something which I find offensive, then too bad. If I open an email, or receive something on Faceache or Twatter that I find offensive sent to me directly (such as a death threat), then that is another matter.

There are too many people running round trying to make a career out of "being offended". Bloody ridiculous! Get over it . . . . .
