What is the general consensus on Jimmy Carr in the UK?

> You appear to be saying if the specific subject of the joke is OK with it there’s no problem. So if Rosie isn’t offended then someone without her condition can joke about her CP. But does she speak for all people with her disability? Expand that to Jimmy Carr. In one of the televised roasts he made this joke about Pete Davidsons dad. Pete signed off on it before he said it on the show. Does that mean it was fine and all the people who complained should keep their mouths shut? It seems you have a specific thing you want other people's responses to be about (what jokes are "allowed") and no amount of clarification seems to be able to shift you from your comfort zone. I appreciate the boldness of starting with "you appear to be saying..." And then inserting something that wasn't said but it's hardly constructive is it? I explained the format of the Roast Battles show (which, as a spin off of the broader CC roasts is _very_ similar to the example you're now asking about) because of its relevance to the context in which the jokes are told because your use of it as example implied you either didn't understand the context or didn't think context matters at all making all examples equal. Is your view that context is immaterial? If so you're arguing against Carr's own position on this?. If you think that context _does_ matter then I don't understand why you feel like your decision to fixate on what jokes are "OK" is helpful. Though your closing question is telling as it seems to confirm your view that either all jokes are OK and complaining about them isn't or certain jokes should be banned as though all comedians - including Carr - don't occupy a middle ground on that issue. Your apparent refusal to engage with nuance (or indeed what people actually say rather than what you'd like them to) is going to make this discussion challenging.
