Comedian Jim Davidson has vowed never to visit London again after accusing the capital's mayor Sadiq Khan of having 'f***** up' his home town.

The 65-year-old stand up comedian gave his opinion on London in a single tweet.

Davidson was forced to clarify his comments after fellow social media users accused him of racism.

Davidson was forced to return to Twitter to counter allegations that he is racist

He said wrote: 'To all you twitter (sic) moaners re my coment (sic) on my home town. It is purely the congestion and traffic I cannot bare but all you lefties can still call me racsist (sic) if if (sic) gets you off Charlton? You can bypass London and go through Kent.'

He had earlier tweeted: 'I am never coming to London again. Khan. You have f***** my home town up.'

Davidson, 65, who was popular in the 1980s, had earlier been accused of making homophobic and racist jokes.

His humour was also very critical of the working class during Margaret Thatcher's time in Downing Street.

Twitter users reacted sarcastically to Davidson's announcement, with one lady responding 'you won't be missed'.

Another wrote: 'Good. F*** the hell off. You made life in the playground utter hell for a generation of Black kids, myself included, in the late 70s and 80s.'

A third woman also seemed pleased about Davidson's self-exile: 'Awesome news for London!! Mind taking some of your mates with you?'

One comment asked whether this was Sadiq Khan's 'greatest ever achievement'.

Actor Michael Cashman wrote: 'The same Jim Davidson that celebrated Margaret Thatcher as she tried to crush mining communities & lesbian and gay people. The man who laughed whilst the working-class struggled. By the way your grammar is appalling. Proud of the city in which I was born and where I still live.'
