  1. It was a joke about how/why we see certain groups in society in a different way to others. It wasn’t an attack on Gypsies, per se, but a nudge to you, the listener, to ask yourself how you feel about Gypsies. Carr was looking you squarely in the face and asking: well, are you one of the racists?🤓

  2. The greatest problem humanity faces, and has always faced, is the one of ‘taking offence’. Note ‘taking’. No one can be offended against their will. You are fully complicit in the act of ‘being offended’. The only long-term solution to this is obvious. Train oneself to not be offended. By anything. Don’t hitch yourself so tightly to this or that identity (family, tribe, nation, religion, sex, sports team etc) such that when someone else says something, anything, about the aforementioned it will be impossible for you to take offence, quite simply as you have refused to subsume so much of your identity in the perceived target another attacks.🤓

  3. The humourless epithet seems to sum him up. You get the distinct impression he has never really let himself go in his entire puff.🤓
