Does she think that's funny?

[kettering_baggie]

I think that we would all agree that Jo Brand is no ‘pin-up’, but that doesn’t stop her from being funny. Just because someone is funny doesn’t mean that they’re funny all the time. I think that Jo Brand can be very funny, never attractive though, but on this occasion she wasn’t funny. All comedians will sometimes make jokes that are inappropriate, this was one of those occasions. I like comedians that push to the limit but that inevitably means that sometimes they will go too far; Jo Brand should, on this occasion, admit that. Life would be exceedingly boring if everyone was always within ‘PC acceptability’. MickD would be locked up fo a start......!

Agree with you! Some could say she's attractive compared to Diane Abbott Beauty is within the eye of the beholder

So the authorities aren't taking any action regarding Brand's comments. That's fine but I wonder if Farage or the like had made the same comment would the outcome be the same. I'm not convinced.

it’s opened a can of worms LB people and comedians can say what they like on social media and the like and get away with it.iknow this country is a (was)a democratic country.and free to say and do what you want .this is not funny she’s never been funny and dought she ever will be. BBC and other broadcasters have sacked others for less remember Rodney Marsh aitkinson etc.

Still a lot of double standards going on here and you are turning a blind eye to them all. Your god like politicians have made many remarks that warrant a sacking, but were they? No. One example, BoJo making that comment some time ago about just getting rid of Libyan dead bodies and it would be fine.. he got away with it.
As a poster said above that it all depends which side you lie politically which influence how serious you feel something is from whatever side. Bland was out of order, Boris was out of order and so many other people who have said stuff that was inappropriate.. many of you guys posting on this board will always fail to take a neutral view. That is a fact and you need to stop denying it. It is obvious your right wing views and siding with that side seem to cloud your judgement on matters like these and past events. Truth really does hurt, but you’ll continue to lie to yourself and have a go at me.

My problem with the Labour Party can be summed up in one word, CORBYN. I am not so right wing that I can't see their faults and with a more moderate leader I would be prepared to give Labour a go as the Tories haven't covered themselves in glory in the recent past. Having said that, they will never ever get my vote with that Marxist and his henchmen in charge. I can't say fairer than that!

Sadly a lot of people take the stuff they read in billionaire owned newspapers as gospel.
They probably think the ruling classes are patriots too.
Their are a lot of frightened billionaires out there, and that little tW@t Gove is positively crapping himself.
Good i say.

Are you suggesting Corbyn,McDonell and Momentum are not “Hard Left” Marxists Des and that it’s pure fiction made up by the press with a right leaning?

That’s just not credible and there’s plenty in the Labour Party and who have bailed out who hate Corbyn and his cronies and their treatment of more moderate MP’s and Jewish MP’s is terrible.

I’m not sure there’s anyone in that party now to possess the b o l l o x that Kinnock did in the mid 80’s when he fronted up to Derek Hatton and the Trotsky element infecting the party.

I hope you haven’t got much of a garden Des because one of Corbyn’s brilliant ideas is to tax gardens.

[regis80]

I remember some time ago and it probably is still the case now that members of this board didn’t have a positive thing to say about Etonians. Well well, let’s get BoJo in. Couldn't make it up.

What garden tax is this you are referring to Mick? Never heard of it, it sounds like a crazy idea.

Without Googling this Mick, can you tell me what the anti semitism complaint was about the labour party? What exactly was the offence? If you have to google this then that just says it all about what you read/watch. Just genuinely asking you Mick and not trying to pick an argument with you btw.
