Some tabloids denounced Carr's joke about British soldiers who lost limbs in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Then the publications themselves came under a wave of criticism for the false statement, writing that the public reacted in jest with stunned silence. Jimmy himself considered his attack "absolutely acceptable", having a tendency to joke about people with disabilities and rape.
In March 2004, Carr's father, who owes himself his millions, was arrested by city police officers after Jim Carr and his brother Colin accused their father of stalking. Mr. Carr was acquitted of all charges, received a written apology from the Crown Prosecution Service and an apology from the London Police, and received monetary compensation for false arrest and false prosecution.
During his speech on the BBC, Jimmy said that until he was 25 he was a Christian, and until 26 he remained a virgin because of his faith. When he became acquainted with the works of Richard Dawkins, he renounced the faith, becoming an atheist, claiming that religion restricts the freedom of people to live their own lives.
