After last night’s terrorist attacks in Paris, comedian Jason Manford shared a angry Facebook post condemning the atrocities.

The expletive ridden post was in breach of Facebook’s guidelines which led to his profile being removed.

Part of the post read: “F**king cowards. Slaughtering innocent unarmed people for what? Families and children enjoying life, theatre, meals? Not an army vs army you f**king cowards,” it began.

He continued: “I hope you are all caught and murdered in a similar agonising way you f**king scumbags”.

Although his profile was temporarily removed, people shared screen grabs of the post on Twitter with some commending his post and others criticising it.

The Manchester native tweeted back to many of the comments, writing individual responses.

His profile has since been reinstated but the post has been removed.

President Hollande of France released a statement today, laying blame on the Islamic state for the six terrorist attacks which killed at least 127 people.
