I bet Katie Piper was laughing her skin off at that one.

Well, she's still the PM, and on this occasion she is speaking for a lot of the public. It is quite right that the BBC should tell us why they are backing her, and I'm afraid, oh it was just a joke won't do.

Politicians, whoever they are, should be free to walk freely around without having anything thrown at them, let alone acid.

This one will run for a bit, and I see the BBC might be realising they have fucked up.

We don’t need the state and certainly not a failed politician like her wading in to regulate what we should and should not find funny. We show we’re a bunch of cunts unable to reason for ourselves when the state gets involved. No thank you.

The BBC should also explain why they promote the career of a politician who incites violence.

This wasn’t misjudged joke it was a threat. If I don’t get my way I’ll pick up a rifle.




You’ve got to admire the total shamelessness of the fringe right.

Yeah, the difference is the left, only focus on one side, and never acknowledge or condemn the sort of shit Brand has come out with.

Brand has been allowed to lampoon all and any that are Right of centre politically. Never once have I heard her use her " humour" to denigrate Corbyn and the left. She has been a walking, talking, spewing propaganda machine for them.

And supposed to be a joke? If anyone thinks that was funny, then they are cunt just like Brand.

The next time some right wing oddball says something grotesque and the far-right start screaming about free speech, remind them of their hysterical response to a misjudged joke.

Once you release they only support free speech for people who think exactly like themselves, everything becomes clear.

How has she "been allowed" to lampoon all and sundry? You're just picking up on one joke albeit a badly timed one and getting all flustered about it. Are you an easily offended snowflake? You seriously need to address your life if what she said about a repugnant, publicity seeking, serial failure who has an aversion to having a milkshake thrown on him has offended you mortally. Ah but yes, it's the left's fault innit?

Could you give any examples of what else she has said if you think she's been allowed to lampoon all and sundry? And why are you talking about Corbyn? It's really just blaming everyone instead of the hard right which you seem to be turning a blind eye to.

All flustered. :lol:
I seriously need to address my life :lol:
Offended :lol:

All because I don't have the same opinion as you. Sort of stuff that causes threads to go down the shitter

You think it's OK because you despise the victim, if it had been John Terry or Jack Grealish you would have been very annoyed indeed.

If a right wing comedian, if you can find one after they have all been hounded out, had made the remark about some left wing twat, you would have been stomping as well.

It's all about hypocrisy and double standards.

Latest from Brand.

The 61-year-old (pictured last night) told an audience at an event in Henley, Oxfordshire, that her comments were 'crass and ill-judged' but added: 'I don't think it's a mistake :lol:

Anyway, now Brand has admitted she was a cunt, what are you going to agree with now. Was it OK, or as Brand says herslef not OK.

That one has you stumped I'll bet.

Well you seem flustered. Moaning and crying about a joke and it's the third day you've done this, since when did you become a precious snowflake and gammon? :lol: :lol: Dry your eyes, pick up trousers and put down your white flag. :wink: Fucking hell, if you're like this, how would you ever cope with a second referendum? :lol: You can always go down the road and watch the cricket if it gets too much for you. :) Do you want someone to screen the content here for you to ensure it's not becoming too centrist for you if it all gets too much again?

Fine, but as I keep saying, you can't have it both ways.
Either everyone can make jokes or no one can.

Which is it ?

Some people don't seem to be able to tell the difference between a comedian telling a joke on a comedy show and a random person threatening to rape and murder a politician on Twitter... they label both as "jokes" and think they're both equal, for some reason.

Do you know, it's becoming crystal clear who the fascists are here.

After decades of screaming accusations of isms against anyone who isn't a socialist, they take a different view when they're caught actually doing it.

After 3 years of trying to stop democracy they're calling for democracy in the conservative elections.
After shutting down any comedian who slightly offends their political dogma, they want free speech for comedians who call for horrible violence against BREXIT .
After decades of calling everyone else racist , they get proven to be anti Semitic but their response is typified by someone claiming I'm anti Semitic because I criticised ONE non practising Jew after spending years arguing with the same people for fairness towards Israel and Jews in general.

How much longer is society going to give in to their childish tantrums and tricks in an effort to defend the indefensible ?

The problem now of course is that we have to all intents and purposes, already lost freedom of speech, ever since a previous government (genuinely can't remember which and can't be bothered to check) introduced 'hate speech laws', wherein just about anyone and anything can be a victim of a hate crime (except probably white straight males).
So now it's all down to interpretation as to what is and isn't a hate crime (or incitement to commit), and as the establishment seems to be wishy washy liberal, it's not difficult to see why those of us on the right (ie pro-brexit these days) have more to moan about than those on the left.
Anyone (such as Tick) that uses 'gammon' as a racial pejorative is as much a racist as those who use the word nigger and similar pejoratively.
