"Frankie Boyle has defended his controversial Paralympic jokes. Earlier today, the Daily Mail reported that Paralympic broadcaster Channel 4 is unlikely to work with Boyle again following his offensive comments.   However, the comedian has said that it&amp;#039;s his &amp;quot;job&amp;quot; to make jokes, insisting that they are &amp;quot;pretty funny&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d say my Paralympic tweets are celebratory. I&amp;#039;ll be joking about Paralympics same way I joked about the Olympics. That&amp;#039;s my job,&amp;quot; Boyle tweeted. &amp;quot;Where has this stereotype of disabled people being too weak &amp;amp; vulnerable to be talked about got us? It&amp;#039;s got us to ATOS. &amp;quot;Why not read the Paralympic jokes on my timeline and make your own mind up? Celebratory, non discriminatory, pretty funny. &amp;quot;Nobody thinks it&amp;#039;s a good thing to laugh at the disabled. But it is a genuine problem that we&amp;#039;re not allowed to laugh with the disabled.&amp;quot; Boyle has previously come under fire for comments made about Olympic swimmer Rebecca Adlington and Katie Price&amp;#039;s son Harvey.
