But oh, the outrage on here at Brand's joke!! People seemed to want censorship then for some reason!
(Not making any judgement on Clarkson's fantasy. Just pointing out if the recipient of the 'joke' was someone you personally did like and respect, you most likely would have joined with the moral majority on here that deemed Brand's 'joke' unacceptable). Imagine if a Steve Coogan wrote exactly the same comments as Clarkson about Suella Bravaman - I suspect the same people on here who are finding it funny would be calling it outrageous!)
