[chuff me dizzy]

Something needs to happen to her, surely she cannot get away with inciting acid attacks ?

[Vicky.]

Came in here expecting something similar to what she said about Thatcher..and everyone overexagerating it. But no, this really is gross. The BBC should not have aired the comments..they should know much better. And honestly..I cannot say this kind of 'joke' is uncommon among lefties right now. Its scared me a bit, how some seem to actually want proper violence and that rather than milkshakes thrown, and I can see it all progressing at some stage soon, given how applauded the people who are (technically..) committing assault are.

[Kate!]

Oh dear. She has stuffed herself good and proper by saying this. A terrible thing to say. I dislike some politicians immensely but would never wish this sort of thing upon them.

Funny isn’t it, when racists try and incite racial hatred using ‘jokes’ they should be let off based on free speech and ‘sacred comedy’ and all that, but as soon as someone on the left makes a dark joke, it’s suddenly unacceptable and should be stopped, hypocrisy strikes again.

It was bad, I don’t agree with what she said, but listening to the actual recording of what she said and the context given, it was clearly meant as a joke on her behalf, just a very bad, tasteless one, something the right have been claiming that should be protected at all costs when it’s them and their friends getting in trouble for things they call ‘jokes’

What’s good for the goose and all that

[chuff me dizzy]

A step too far, I love a joke but this was certainly not funny

[Jessica.]

It's not funny, but she always makes horrible jokes like that, I never found her funny in the first place. I don't think it's something for her to be arrested for though, it's very obviously that it's not something that she actually meant.

[Vicky.]

Its not a joke to me, a joke is funny, this just came across spiteful and nasty. And both her and the BBC should know better than to do this. Especially now, as if someone does so this, it will be blamed on both her and the BBC too..and I really can see it all going further. As I have said a few times, it won't stay at milkshakes. Not sure if it will progress to acid mind, but it is going to get worse in some way.

I disagree she should be arrested because of this though, thats going a bit too far.

I also see where liam is coming from, 'its just a joke' is used to defend all manner of vile things said, when its someone you like telling the 'joke'. Where if you dislike them, its not a joke, they should be arrested and serve a life sentence. Some don't do this, but it seems common.

Can you give an example of "the right" or "the racists" as you described them firstly...can you give an example where they have urged someone be disfigured for simply being a politician offering different views.


And please actually click the link as it is acid attack victims urging for her to be arrested, not anyone political minded

This isn't about race it's about Jo Brands tasteless 'joke' I don't know why the BBC aired it tbh, the other guy got sacked that made the 'joke' about Megans baby,this is another step too far in so called 'comedy'

it's all about context. Jo Brand was on a comedy show where controversy is the norm. The more controversial the better. That shouldn't be then taken out of that context and used to beat her up.

I never really find comedy programmes funny.

I agree this was extremely unwise to use this terminology.
Before I took notice of it, I half expected her to have said more like some bodily fluid.
Battery acid was way too far.
Especially in the volatile times we live in at present in the UK.

Arrest her no, for what, she instantly said it was a joke, a bad one but a joke.
So to call for her arrest is ridiculous.

She can't be sacked by the BBC as the guy re Megan's baby was.
She doesn't even work for the BBC, she was a guest on this odd sort of controversial comedy show.

I'm surprised at Farage's outrage, he doesn't bat an eyelid in his put downs of races he doesn't like.

I don't think this will harm Jo Brand at all though.
She thrives on being controversial.

When a satire article is basically the actual story

Massive snowflake demands end to free speech over joke he didn’t like


Nigel Farage on Jo Brand
Nigel Farage has demonstrated his snowflake credentials by insisting the police get involved because someone told a joke he didn’t like.

Nigel took offence after a comedian made a joke on a comedy show on a radio station that focusses on comedy, insisting that jokes now constitute hate speech and are there to incite violence.

“Jo Brand made a joke about replacing milkshakes the milkshakes thrown at far-right figures with battery acid, and so she should go to prison,” Farage told reporters with a straight face.

“Anyone who looks at my record can see I’m a true believer in free speech, but not when it’s jokes I don’t like, or when there are political points to be scored. Then I’m all for getting the police involved.”

When it was pointed out that Nigel himself had said he’d pick up a rifle if Brexit was thwarted, he insisted that wasn’t supposed to be taken literally, and so is completely different.

“Jo Brand literally wants to throw battery acid at people like me, you can tell she definitely wants to do that by the way she chose a comedy show to talk about it. Whereas I spoke about picking up a rifle at a political rally, where everyone knows the words spoken aren’t supposed to be taken seriously.

“They are totally different. Yes they are. Shut up.”

Brexit Party supporter Simon Williams told us, “Nigel has a point, free speech has its limits, and those limits are making jokes we don’t like.

“Yeah, we could have just not laughed at the joke and then moved on with our day, but then no-one would know we are just a bunch of crybaby hypocrites.”

I don't even think it was a joke though, and I think it's only fair that it can be flipped round by simply exchanging the face of the person who had the milkshake chucked over them with someone else...Let's say the current mayor of london...and then have donald trump tweet what jo brand said....:shrug:

[Northern Monkey]

I’m not for censorship of comedy or even stupid unfunny comments that are supposed to be comedy.
I’m not for her being disinvited from the BBC either.
Comedy is supposed to be the last bastion of so called free speech in this country.

However,I think what leaves a bad taste in people’s mouths is the hypocrisy of the left wing bias in the media.
The beeb will protect Brand because she’s a money maker.
Comedy shows like Live at the Apollo only ever have lefty comedy.TV in general doesn’t do right wing comedy because it’s not ‘woke’ enough.You have to go online for that.
Left wing comedians can get away with far more controversial material and get the London champagne socialist audience laughing like nodding dogs at violence directed at their nemesis politicians who espouse different opinions.

[Northern Monkey]

Very true.

People love to be offended now and shout about it on Twitter because their offence is oh so important and everyone needs to know about it.’Something must be done because I’M offended’.

Social media has given people a massive sense of self importance.

[joeysteele]

Well, its not a police matter, they aren't even going to investigate it.
It's a controversial comedy based programme where controversy is welcomed.

She stated immediately she said it, that it was a joke.
A very sick one in my own view.

Hardly though, the crime if the century.

I don't find Jo Brand funny, although on Countdown, when she makes up rubbish words, I have smiled at that.

A pre recorded programme as Ammi and others have said, which the BBC saw no harm at all in broadcasting.
The problem maybe lies with the BBC than anyone or anything else then.

While I abhor any inference to any physical attacking of politicians,particularly in the current climate.
(I abhor any physical attacks on anyone however.).

Nigel Farage making his mouth go on this, after all the hate filled speeches he makes from his bigotry and prejudices, is hard to find any sympathy for.

I'll take possibly once a sick uncalled for joke from Brand anytime over the hateful deep rooted divisiveness Farage brings to politics.

You wouldn't be saying this if it was about the opposition instead.

Her comments were terrible as was the comedy but the outrage is mostly hypocritical considering most of it is coming from the right wing who so often jump to the defense of bigots and morons. Telling someone they are too ugly to rape is just a funny joke but joking about an acid attack on Farage Christ is TOO FAR.

Selective outrage. If you defended the former, you can't take issue with the later.

This is an excellent example of the right's need to disregard context and throw out facts to force a hypocritical narrative that is simply not reality.

It's a comedy show, if it was someone saying the same thing about Corbyn, you would cheer them on. It certainly wouldn't be a case of Jo Brand inciting violence on the left. Cherry picked morality and selective offense, that's pretty much all you are pushing here.

Too much hypocrisy and too many lies to take seriously.

[Alf]

I can't stand Jo Brand, but she did nothing wrong here. However, I have no sympathy for her because, instead of coming to the defence of people like Carl Benjamin for telling jokes, she used her platform on the BBC programme "Have I got news for you" to join in the hate and denouncement towards him.

She's a massive hypocrite of the highest order.

But she should be free to tell her her rubbish joke, told from a place of hate in her heart.

I think it's silly to compare the two. Jo Brand is a comedian who was on a comedy show who told an edgy joke. Carl Johnson is a youtuber who rose to prominence by talking about Gamergate and political issues, he is also a failed politician. He tweeted 'I wouldn't even rape you' to Jess Phillips. He sent a message to her, saying that.... He also opposes any and all feminism and has blamed it for various mass murders committed by men. I'd say he's got plenty of hate in his heart yet you seem to be defending him by drawing up a false comparison between the two to vindicate him at her expense. Why is that? Can you explain why you aren't ccriticising him to the extent you've criticised Jo Brand here if you consider their comments comparable?
