FRANKIE Boyle was described as callous and insensitive by a lawyer for a tabloid newspaper as the Scots comedian's libel trial continued in the High Court.
Boyle is suing Mirror Group Newspapers over an article that described him as a racist comedian and claimed he was forced to quit a BBC TV programme after a controversial joke. Ronald Thwaites, QC, for Mirror Group Newspapers, told the jury Mr Boyle's claim should be dismissed saying: "This man doesn't have a sensitive bone in his body."
