Des Bishop is a silly billy and a retard
My blood brother, R Bonham is back on the case. Des Bishop's systematic patronising of minorities was stepped up a notch last week and I knew it was going to get the Bonham treatment. For all you studs out there unaware of what happened, here's a snippet from Bishop's site:
Hi,We were at the Des Bishop Gig on wednesday night and was appalled at to hear Des slagging off people with disability by using the derorgatory terms: "Retard" and "Handicapped". These words should NEVER be used by anyone, particularly those who are in the public view. I wonder how many people were in the audience that have a learning disability or have a relation or friend with a disability. To my horror Des Bishop addressed a person in the audience who in fact had a disability and was making some noise. Thinking he was being heckled, Des turned and asked what the problem was. The guy grunted several times, obviously unable to express his opinions, which egged him on even more. Des Bishop then asked "Are you a f**king retard or something?" and asked him to leave the gig. Again the guy could not respond and a member of the audience turned and said the person was handicapped. At this point the person and his support left the concert hall. Des started to apologise profusely on stage and asking them to reconsider and stay at the gig or get a refund. But the damage had already been done. The gig had been completely ruined and to apologise at that point was useless.Des makes a point of working with people in the minority and doing his bit for charity, but there are other groups in the minority who cant stand up for themselves. I think it is ignorant and abusive in modern ireland to refer to people with disability or someone acting like a "retard" and to use that as material on stage.
