Got to admit to being conflicted. On the one hand, I'm all for free speech, but given recent history and the horrific consequences of someone actually following through on this, I think the joke was ill-advised at best. As distasteful as the Danny Baker cartoon was (and I really don't think he meant it that way) there were no such consequences to consider. That he should be sacked by the BBC and Brand supported, is indeed hypocritical and perhaps guided by political bias.
