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.

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

But do the cops have any leads ?

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

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?"

Maybe because she didnt say that.

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.

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.

What's really disappointing is that the BBC used to broadcast stuff like this...and doesn't anymore

No she's being investigated because she aired her violence related thought on national radio... I don't think the police should be involved but the BBC shouldn't have aired it.

This is great, with posters like this you don't need the ignore button. You're doing people a favour.
