First time this guy has ever made me laugh
Comedian Tim Dillon said on his podcast last month that he signed up for financial reasons. He said he had been offered "a large sum of money" - $375,000 for one performance - and said that other comedians had been offered as much as $1.6 million. He told his detractors to "get over it," adding, "So what if they have slaves, they're paying me enough to look the other way." But in an episode of the Tim Dillon Podcast last week, the comedian announced he'd been removed from the lineup for the comments he made about the country's record on slavery.

Can you imagine Thatcher being so annoyed at Spittung Image in the 80s that she had her government threatening to revoke Central Television's licence to broadcast? No, me neither.
