Roy Chubby Brown review
If we really are in a culture war, Chubby is surely on the frontlines, and he fires off his most powerful weapons within the first few minutes. When he calls Lenny Henry the N-word, I know I am in at the deep end. But I was not expecting the rapturous applause to that word. Is this just the relief of hearing such a "taboo" word said in public, or is this a burst of "he's saying what we're all thinking" praise?
