Tim Minchin cut from Jonathan Ross
Discussion
Here is what Tim has to say on the matter : http://www.timminchin.com/
I think ITV are being spineless and it was wrong to pull it but I am an atheist and I am not easily offended. However I am annoyed by the terror of even mildly upsetting religious people. I do not take offence at songs of praise or hymns on the radio or television I don't believe what they say is true so that is it. Yet somebody questions religion and the religous and they get cut out of the program all together. I was lucky enough to hear Tim sing this live and it is a superb song, very funny and in my opinion very true. I did wonder how it got past the producers, but to get past and then person as Tim so eloquently puts it
"did this because he’s scared of the ranty, s
t-stirring, right-wing press, and of the small minority of Brits who believe they have a right to go through life protected from anything that challenges them in any way." is scarey. I love the amount of backlash that ITV are getting for this.
