No I am saying you are taking it too seriously and his whole show is full of jokes. To take it out of context and accuse him of attacking a child is simply wrong. He was IN the joke yes, but the "target" was his mother and her stupid actions - would we even know who Harvey was if it weren't for her constant public appearances/magazine deals? No.
There are plenty of celebrities with children I have never heard of, he wouldn't make a joke about someone's kids if they weren't in the media - what would be the point? And whose fault is it if Harvey appears in the public eye? His mum's - the TARGET of the joke.

Channel 4 is not a public service channel - it is paid for by advertising.
I just bought a tv licence - it pays for the BBC only.

And you don't think Boyle was suggesting with his joke that Harvey is autistic and capable of raping his mother? Of course the kid was the butt of the joke. Sober up ffs.

A previous poster asserted that Harvey would be "ridiculed" beacause of the show - my point was to show how ridiculous that claim was.
Even if he was the butt of the joke (personally i still think it was aimed at his mother for placing him in the limelight) it was a JOKE.
Lighten up ffs.
