More votes than his 3 closest rivals combined........ Having taken on dual nationality last December, I think my Dutchship may well come in very handy....... BoJo will do to the country what he allegedly did to the pig's head...... IMO.

At least my two deluded 100/1’s have gone, along with the thoroughly unpleasant insult to womanhood, Leadsom. Let’s hope we don’t hear from them ever again.
Other than that...bad news. How does one get a Dutch citizenship, MA?

Go to Amsterdam, sleep with 20 hookers and smoke yourself stupid. You're in.

So somebody who doesn't suit your political agenda should be sacked But it's ok for the right wing press spew their lies about Corbyn and McDonald everyday Anybody who thinks Joe Brand wasn't joking must have had a sense of humour bypass

You really think it qualifies as sense of humour territory?

For what it’s worth...I think Jo Brand made an unwise joke in the current circumstances.

Having said that...context is everything and on R4’s ‘Heresy’ programme you are going to find people saying things which, in other circumstances, are entirely indefensible.

It’s also worth saying that the purpose of much ‘alternative’ comedy is to overstep the line and shock. Such lines are constantly being redrawn and what was once acceptable ‘humour’ e.g. ‘Love Thy Neighbour’, ‘On the Buses’, ‘It Ain’t ‘Arf Hot Mum’ is - in the name of political correctness (and good taste) - no longer so.

Frankly though, it beggars belief that the likes of Farage and the Sun are claiming such moral outrage.

Jo Brand made it perfectly clear at the time, to any nutters out there, that she was joking and didn’t actually advocate the idea. It was a joke about the silly impotence of throwing milkshakes. It was, in her words, a ‘fantasy’ about doing something more radical to people she perceives as disuniting and damaging our/her country.

Did she choose her words ill advisedly in the circumstances? Yes, probably.
Has she caused as much harm and hurt by it as Farage’s attempts to make racism respectable? No certainly not, but it won’t stop those on the Right bleating on about how that nasty, fat, leftie so called comedienne has incited hatred and violence. Hypocrites!

She gives pig ugly a bad name.. Should be arrested just for that.
I wonder what would happen if the intended recipient was David Lammey or someone of that ilk?

Wow! Maybe you think we should reintroduce the witches’ ducking stool for good measure seeing as she looks a bit weird.

What exactly is David Lammey’s ‘ilk’ then, Angry?

Well if you don't have political agenda Andy you don't exactly go out of your way to hide it ie (the left wing BBC) Fail to see the connection of wanting Brand sacked just because Danny Baker was be has a history of being controversial and being dismissed Not really a reason to sack somebody because you don't find them funny

Seems it’s been decided she has a case to answer. I actually think the limit of Baker’s andBrand’s punishments should have been to be widely called out for being insensitive tw*ts but the inconsistency is my issue. Note that I’ve not found her funny for twenty years and never called for her head before.
