CONTROVERSIAL Scottish comedian Frankie Boyle has launched a foul-mouthed rant on social media website Twitter about Londonderry Big Brother contestant Conor McIntyre.

The expletive filled message read: “Surely Derry people from both sides of the religious divide would like to see punishment beatings brought back for this c**t.”

A friend of Frankie Boyle target and reality TV star Conor McIntyre, local MLA Mark H. Durkan said that while his comments were highly inappropriate, it would be advisable not to take anything he says too seriously.
