People should boycott Jimmy Carr over Holocaust joke says Sajid Javid

Health Secretary Sajid Javid has said he thinks Jimmy Carr’s joke about the Holocaust was “horrid” and called for people to boycott the comedian.

The presenter and comic has been widely criticised for the joke he made in Netflix comedy special His Dark Material.

Mr Javid said the joke was “horrid”, adding: “I think we all have a right to react to that, and one of the best ways anyone can react to that is show these platforms what they think about Jimmy Carr by not watching or listening to him, and that will send him a very strong message.”
