Jo Brand

'Day6 aren't you forgetting what happened to Jo Cox?' wasn't it Farage's party that carried on campaigning when the others stopped out of respect for Jo Cox?

Jo Cox was murdered. I don't remember ANYONE saying it was funny. I don't recall anyone defending that act of violence.

I am not sure why you have dragged her name into this Rowantree.

What is the connection with Jo Brand suggesting milkshake throwers should have used battery acid instead to maim a politician she dislikes? And the BBC defended her pre-recorded anti-Farage 'quip' and aired it.

Now tell me why Jo Cox is relevant to this discussion?

'Farage didn't name an enemy or suggest he would fire his rifle to maim or kill anyone.'...what the hell do people intend to do with rifles then...?

Jo Brand's act, which I would not dignify with the name comedy, is designed to shock, provoke a reaction and upset those she professes to despise, therefore I am not particularly surprised by this latest remark. To maintain her standing, she has to be increasingly outrageous.

What does shock is the fact that it was pre-recorded and that the BBC endorsed this unpleasant comment by broadcasting it.

Day6 aren't you forgetting what happened to Jo Cox?

Well, I like Jo Brand. Didn't hear this quip but it sounds definitely on the edge - but then, a lot of humour is just that. Look at Monty Python (that dates me!) Unwise probably, but I confess I'd have laughed and winced at the same time - only because I can't stand the rightist moron to whom she referred.

Farage does not advocate using acid, he advocates rifles

Have you got that sentence on speed-write Whitewave?

I have said I'd walk over hot coals to defend my children. Not sure that I would.
People before Farage, picked up rifles to defend their country from a foe determined to take it and mould it to their design. Now we have the EU doing just that. Farage didn't name an enemy or suggest he would fire his rifle to maim or kill anyone.

Jo Brand wanted politicians she didn't like maimed. In an acid attack.

We all know left wing protesters have enjoyed throwing milk shakes over politicians they disapprove of. Jo Brand took this further suggesting milk shake throwers should have used battery acid.

You sound desperate to defend Jo Brand. Hang the UK and all patriots, but maim and disfigure non-left-wingers/ or Leavers having the temerity to vote against the EU...

Thanks Elvive..

showed real people forcing their way into countries they had no right to be in unless they applied to go there by legitimate means

No it didn't. It showed people trying to get to Slovenia in order to get to Germany. Do you see forcing?

A disgraceful lie.

Where did I say I love her? Why the need for the binary approach? Do we not have opinions, thoughts, nuanced ideas?

Oh and JB should never have said what she did.....although " Gas them all" is pretty grim too.

Elvive - so you love 'silly fat women being horrid about royals and Tories' even if the so called humour is offensive and remarkably crude and violent?

"Oh lordy" - to quote you.

I think you will find my comments do make sense. I was not the one who drew the comparison. I was merely highlighting the JB is not very funny and has no power at all.

BJ is not funny but an immoral, racist, liar who may soon be leader of the party currently in power.

Farage does not advocate using acid, he advocates rifles

Labaik-Mr Farage's 'so called ' immigrant poster was a photograph which had previously been shown on tv, including the BBC, in newspapers and on the internet, in general, so how is it HIS poster? It wasn't a lie, it wasn't fake news-it showed real people forcing their way into countries they had no right to be in unless they applied to go there by legitimate means. How many of these people did you help out, btw, and take into your home or do you just expect other taxpayers to fund them?

Jo Brand should be prosecuted for a hate crime. If Mr Farage had said that about her, everyone would be disgusted, and rightly so.

the whole milkshake thing is so stupid and all the while under our very eyes the whole of the country is going under ( oh apart from a few smug rich people )

Elvive's comments makes no sense.

She is comparing comedians to politicians. As far as I can recall, Boris Johnson, like him or loathe him, has never advocated maiming or disfiguring politicians he doesn't like in an acid attack. Jo Brand has and the BBC aired it.

How can anyone defend her vile 'joke'? Can someone tell me in which Universe is suggesting throwing corrosive acid over another person funny?

Oh Lordy kitty lester a silly fat woman being horrid about the Royals and Tories.......

As NF said, if he had voiced having thoughts about throwing battery acid over another politician or member of the public, there would no doubt have been a huge outcry and the Brexit Party would have sunk without trace.
As she is not directly 'employed' by the BBC (shades of Lorraine Kelly) they can't sack her but they can refuse to air her programmes.
She's become an untouchable.

Elvive - we need a like button, great comment ??

Jo Brand - another one of today's unfunny comedians. Only my opinion of course.

We saw Jo Brand at Edinburgh Fringe one year. We also had tickets for The Tattoo but, as Jo Brand turned update, we had to leave before she had finished and she was so rude about 'right wingers' 'monarchists' and 'tory voters' as we left. It was not a pleasant experience.

elvive ☹️☹️☹️

There are a number of theories though that is cheering me up over Johnson, but I’m on the wrong thread to start that discussion

Jo Brand.....unfunny possibly overpaid woman who makes offensive silly remark.

BJ.......dangerous, racist, liar, philanderer who may lead the country.

It's a dreadful, appalling, unbelievable thing to say! even more so as it was pre recorded and was passed as "appropriate " by the BBC! Absolutely disgraceful! Have they never, or are they totally unaware of the devastation of an acid attack?!! Can't bear J.B and this confirms how truly awful she and the BBC are.
