British funnyman ROWAN ATKINSON warns the U.K. government's plans to outlaw homophobic bullying will destroy comedy. The Mr Bean comedian fears the proposed law, intended to make homophobic slurs a criminal offence, will lead to comedians being penalised for cracking gay jokes. He says the law has "serious implications for freedom of speech, humour and creative expression".
