There were calls this week for controversial comedian Frankie Boyle to be banned from the BBC after he cracked a joke about IRA terrorism. Speaking on his BBC Two show, Frankie Boyle's New World Order, Boyle - a favourite of edgy teenagers everywhere - mocked Theresa May's recent attempts to thrash out a Brexit compromise with her cabinet at Chequers. With so many leading Tories in one place, Boyle joked: 'Where the fuck are the IRA when you need them?'
