Asked if he was performing at the event, the entertainer continued walking, refusing to respond.
The British Museum’s Involvement
The British Museum is already under fire for its role in withholding antiquities of cultural importance.
Refusing to return hundreds of items of significance to countries including Egypt, Sudan, India, Iraq, Nigeria and more, many have called for the publicly funded museum to be reviewed. The Museums Association described the affair as an ‘Independence day event.’
Far-Right Involvement
The secretive-engagement was also attended by controversial far-right figures including Reform MP and leader, Nigel Farage, Israeli ambassador Tzipi Hotovely, Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch, and Defence Minister Maria Eagle.
Public reaction
Social media is on fire with commentary responding to the news. On Instagram, many called out the stand-up, describing him as part of the problem. “I don’t know how you rest at night,” one user wrote. Another said: “what a complete let down”, while others commented on the comedian being a “useful idiot.”
Others, clearly disappointed—remarked: “what a let down” and “you weren’t funny anyway.”
More than 60,000 people have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza.
Jimmy Carr is yet to respond to comments
