4:51Now PlayingThis week on Finkelvitch, David Aaronovitch and Daniel Finkelstein discuss Jimmy Carr's 'joke' about Gypsies and the Holocaust, suggesting that one of 'the positives' of the Holocaust was the deaths of millions of Gypsies.
Condemned by the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, Auschwitz Memorial and Hope not Hate, Jimmy Carr's statement is part of his Netflix show 'His Dark Material'.
Daniel Finkelstein said: "If he argues that it was funny, he's arguing that the right thing to do is to laugh at people being killed in a genocidal act."
David Aaronovitch comdemned the comments too and said: "I actually regard a joke like this as giving a licence to people to hate other people."
Listen to the conversation in full with Matt Chorley, David Aaronovitch and Daniel Finkelstein.
