Film director Bruce Robinson brands audience ‘a load of UKIP cunts’ during talk 

‘It was unbelievable,’ reports a visitor to the arts festival, which is held at the Cornish estate of the late 10th Earl of St Germans, a louche friend of Prince Charles.’Robinson was clearly drunk and his talk was such a shambles that members of the audience started booing.’

This led him to respond with a foul-mouthed rant which included calling the audience ‘a load of Ukip cunts’.’

This caused uproar, even though most of the audience were probably down from London themselves.
