2) On the 'racist' government

Frankie Boyle accused the Government of being responsible for bigoted views in Britain, saying "there is racism at the heart of British policy".

Speaking at the High Court, where he was suing the Daily Mirror for libel after they described him as 'Racist comedian Frankie Boyle', he denied that British people are racist.

He said: "I think it is a top down thing. I think you have a lot of rich and Conservative people who control our country who are racist and their views trickle down through things like tabloid papers."

3) On James Arthur

James McArthur is like a cross between a tramp and a duckling#xfactor

James Arthur looks like someone put a sheep's teeth into a baby's head#Xfactor

@frankieboyle Poor old man making yet more shit jokes about Xfactor because he knows that's the only way he can get attention any more #prat

— James Arthur (@JamesArthur23) December 2, 2012

@JamesArthur23 I think if I wanted attention I'd sing covers on a talent show, inked up like a schooldesk in a remedial class

— Frankie Boyle (@frankieboyle) December 2, 2012

@frankieboyle Your about as funny as aids.. Your a sad man and I can't wait to see you coz it's about time someone gave you a reality check

Nobody in Britain wants Piers Morgan to be deported. We'd much rather he was strangled in his bed by Santa.

4) On Scottish Independence

He said in 2014: "I'm all for it. It won't happen. One of the reasons it won't happen is the media is just completely against it. There's a huge level of media bias.

"One of the reasons the BBC is biased against it that never gets mentioned is the BBC raises a licence fee of £300-odd million in Scotland - they won't release the actual figures but it's probably £320 million - and they spend, they say, £160 million, £60 million of which is very probably finessed.

"So it's probably a £200 million a year subsidy to the BBC.

"There's just too many cross-currents in Scottish culture. One of the great things about being pro-independence is I get maybe half a dozen tweets a day telling me that I don't understand economics from Rangers fans."

It's rare to find someone so honest in the media, particularly in comedy. This is very interesting: http://t.co/PmGv4plgaS

@Nigel_Farage There are a lot of honest people in comedy, which is why they keep calling you a cunt

— Frankie Boyle (@frankieboyle) October 28, 2014

@frankieboyle Probably the funniest thing I've ever heard you say!

— Nigel Farage (@Nigel_Farage) October 28, 2014

@Nigel_Farage You didn't hear me say it you daft bastard

— Frankie Boyle (@frankieboyle) October 28, 2014

6) On David Cameron

1/3 As a country we should be far more open about mental health. Less hushed tones and more frank discussion.

— David Cameron (@David_Cameron) January 11, 2016

@David_Cameron In that spirit, I have to say that I think you're a psychopath

— Frankie Boyle (@frankieboyle) January 11, 2016

A strong nation is built on people who work hard and want to get on life. My article for @MailOnline: http://t.co/QaC4lWoaNC

@David_Cameron The closest most of your party have got to a job interview is asking the doctor when daddy is going to die.

— Frankie Boyle (@frankieboyle) March 24, 2015

7) On Nick Clegg

.@David_Cameron The British public want the debates so let's get on with it. Stop holding them to ransom by trying to dictate the terms.

— Nick Clegg (@nick_clegg) March 4, 2015

@nick_clegg @David_Cameron I think the public want you both to run into a lion enclosure through a Bovril carwash

— Frankie Boyle (@frankieboyle) March 4, 2015

8) On Labour

.

Boyle had a few choice words for those running to be Ed Miliband's successor. He accused Andy Burnham and Yvette Cooper of giving interviews "with the halting, guarded intonation of a hostage". He blasted Liz Kendall for having the "alarming air of an Apprentice candidate" but saved rare praise for Jeremy Corbyn, calling him "one of the few decent politicians remaining in the Labour party".

8) On Jeremy Clarkson

Distressing what happens to a man's balls in his late thirties. I look like I'm getting a piggyback off Jeremy Clarkson.

I hope that having to feel proud of a cyclist has given Jeremy Clarkson a brain haemorrhage #TeamGB

10) On Refugees

Boyle has used an opinion column to contrast Britain’s response to the slaughter of Cecil the Zimbabwean lion with the death of a migrant at Calais.

Boyle, who has established a theme of surprising people with his political missives,writes for Comment Is Free in the Guardian: “Last week a proud, beautiful, beloved African creature, who’d lived the last years of his life in a fenced compound, was killed by a train in the Channel tunnel.

“That’s the British for you: criticising people fleeing genocide for pushing their children over a perimeter fence, when we’d do it for a 40% discount off an Asda telly.”

11) On #PigGate

In a blog posted to his website, Boyle mused: “The interesting thing for me is that because the allegation is that he did it in a roomful of people wearing dinner jackets it’s sort of OK.

“If someone had walked in on him doing it alone in his constituency office he’d have had to resign… It’s certainly an upper class thing.

“No working class person has fantasised about sticking their cock in a dead pig’s mouth [since Raul Moat died.]

12) On Chris Brown

@chrisbrown Or intergender boxing, you'd be in with a chance of a medal there mate

13) On Liverpool

I've been to Liverpool, and never walking alone is actually pretty good advice

14) On One Direction

The things I'd do to One Direction would make the human centipede look like a conga at Butlins

15) On Syria

Sending my very best wishes to Muslims in Britain - and around the world - celebrating #Eid al-Adha. Eid Mubarak to you and your families!

— David Cameron (@David_Cameron) October 3, 2014

@David_Cameron You could have saved time by just writing it on the side of your bombs

16) On Donald Trump

“Donald Trump has the manner of an arrogant televangelist suspected of murder by Columbo””

We now have a government so far to the right that doctors can be seen as dangerous radicals

— Frankie Boyle (@frankieboyle) April 26, 2016

“Consider how desperate these doctors are: so desperate that they want to talk to Jeremy Hunt. Surely even Hunt’s wife would rather spend a sleepless 72 hours gazing into a cracked open ribcage than talk to him.”
