Frankie Boyle has been cleared by Ofcom over a joke he made about Boris Johnson on Channel 4’s The Last Leg.
Last month, the Scottish comedian said he hoped the outgoing Prime Minister would be “dragged screaming into hell.” The joke came after Johnson ended his final Prime Minister’s Questions with the iconic Terminator quote, “Hasta la vista, baby.”
In response, Mr Boyle, 49, said: “You finished with a quote from The Terminator […] because you killed 150,000 f***ing people during the pandemic. I don’t want to sound like I’ve got a grudge or anything, but I hope a vent opens up in the ground and clawed hands drag you screaming into hell.”
