The comedian tweeted offensive terms including the word retard
Last night the leftie comedian said on Twitter: “When I was a younger man, the culture on here was much darker and edgier. I made jokes about race, sexuality, politics, everything.
“You may find those jokes offensive or upsetting. And if you do, there’s a very good chance I hadn’t thought about them or the subjects they covered enough.
“If anything I’ve said or tweeted in the past was stupid or hurtful, it’s because I can be stupid and hurtful. I sincerely try to understand and do better.”

Tweets from Hound, 41, had included telling one follower: “Suck my b****, retard.”
He insulted Sheeran for spending a day “writing songs and walking round the hills of Aberfeldy”.
And talking of stars’ privacy and the use of language, the former Celebrity Juice panellist wrote: “And 28 years ago you’d have heard people talking about ‘n*****s and p***s’. So, no problem there?”
