Jo Brand under police investigation

Sonny noggs

Jo Brand under police investigation for ‘joke’ about acid attack on Nigel Farage, and British Prime Minister Theresa May asking why the BBC allowed the sick joke to be broadcast.

Disappointing that the BBC deemed it appropriate to broadcast and are seen to be advocating violence against politicians.

Let’s hope our own ‘peaceful protest’ brigade don’t take Jo’s comments to heart. Some very unstable people out there.

Should be investigated for crimes against comedy.

To be honest Jo has hit a new low making a joke about the acid attacks.

No. I believe it's under investigation.
Happens from time to time, I don't think that's the BBC agreeing or disagreeing with any grouping.

Never found her funny.

You're against free speech and in favour of censorship?

Think it's just a case of crossed wires. No need to clamp down and charge her.

I wonder how many people complaining about her actually listened to the whole thing? Few I'd be safe to guess.

We now live on a world in which it's OK to follow and scream and harass politicians in the street, but woe betide anyone who makes a joke like this.

People are idiots. Anyway, with Morrissey now a full on right wing nationalist I'm off now to have his music banned and him arrested for him advocating to have jockeys of disks strung up.

Sure Nigel Farage said he'd pick up a riffle and head to the front lines of Brexit wasn't delivered. Surely only a matter of time before police raid his house now.

IT WAS A FCUKING JOKE.

(and yes I’d say the same if it was a right winger investigated).

I assume there was a formal complaint made, one of Farage's cronies probably as he publicly called for one (the poor mite still not over a bit of milk shake) and they had to act. Nothing will probably come of it other than publicity for idiots.

That's Russell Brands wife yeah?

Woah. She's really let herself go.

Around the time of the Andrew Sachs phone message scandal, she was asked whether she was related to Russell Brand. Her response was "no, but I fucked his grandad".

She made the comment on a show called 'Heresy', where panelists are supposed to argue an unreasonable position for comic effect. I appreciate that humour might be a difficult concept for the hard right to understand, but telling jokes is what comedians do. Nobody is going to throw battery acid in Farage's stupid face just because Jo Brand joked about it on Radio 4.

A recording of the show would be a good place to start.

Many hard right comedians on the BBC are there?
They've been censoring their output for years, if the joke had been directed at an idol of the left, it would never have been aired.

TV presenter Piers Morgan is among those making the comparison with Baker's sacking, saying: "Why did the BBC instantly sack Danny Baker for an offensive royal baby tweet but won't sack Jo Brand for saying she'd like acid to be thrown at politicians?"

Snowy believes because someone doesn't think a comedian should be reported to the police for making a joke they must be hard left

I bet Snowy loved it when Trump told supporters at his rallies to rough up protesters

Not a good idea to connect the leads to the battery acid...

Jokes about politics and politicians are fine.

Joking about the whole acid atracks I think is bad form, maybe I’m old and over sensitive but it’s not a laughing matter at all.

It was a joke... like 'positive', 'negative', 'cell', 'clamp', 'charge'.

Are you even reading your own thread ?

You take that she was joking about the acid attacks in the likes of "honour" assaults?

She did say that.

"Why bother with a milkshake when you could get some battery acid?' That's just me. I'm not going to do it, it's purely a fantasy, but I think milkshakes are pathetic, I honestly do, sorry."


So it wouldn't be pathetic for someone to throw battery acid? She's not going to do it, but if you are going to throw something, throw something that causes horrific injuries.

So she's being investigated for a thought she said she'd had? Jesus, what a waste of police time.
