The Jo Brand thing. No, the police shouldn't be involved. Yes, many of those defending her would have lost their shit if a Tory had made a similar remark aimed at, say, Corbyn. No, she shouldn't be sacked. Yes, the line should probably have been cut. Err. That's it I think. Next?

Except that it was pre recorded and would have been edited before going out... I think that's more of a question, why were the
@bbc happy for it to go out.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Nope. Why is it that "the left" can prosecute, and persecute, "the right" and that is OK. But the same offence it is unjustifiable for the left to be prosecuted. This is not just about bad "jokes," this is about justice and how it is being betrayed.

You missed out one very important thing. The compulsory BBC licence fee should abolished so people can choose if they want to expose themselves to this constant Lefty crap.
-
Wasn’t it on radio 4? You don’t pay a licence fee for that.
-
Yes it was. Are you suggesting that BBC radio isn't funded by the licence fee? Surely no one could be that uninformed?pic.twitter.com/hDSQf9RPZh

You don’t pay a licence fee for BBC radio. You can listen to it completely free. You only need a licence to watch TV. But sure carry on paying that fee you hate, for that service you hate, when you’re not required to.
-
Correct. I don't pay a fee as I live abroad. However millions of UK residents who do pay the fee because it's obligatory are funding that biased lefty tripe w/out choice. To me what Brand said is irrelevant. All BBC output should be funded by voluntary subscription & advertising.

But where is the BBC statement saying her joke was not in line with their core values?

Full of s#
#t it is incitement and given the mental state of the far left it is just the excuse needed to authorise such an act. So yes she should be sack because she is in an influential position. Yep that covers it all.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Nope. We need to make an example of Brand to highlight the way the right to freedom of expression is being applied asymmetrically. Only when one of their own succumbs will the neo-liberal woke generation understand the damage they're causing.

To me, the bottom line is 'equality'. If it's inappropriate, it's inappropriate - irrespective of whom it is aimed at. There can't be one rule for right wing comments and another for left-wing ones.

Not quite. Why should I pay to listen to Jo Brand's insults. Scrap the BBC licence.

Yep - that’s all of it. Now can we all enjoy the Jo Brand jokes on here - guilt free? It seems a fair trade.

Go on, give us a great Jo Brand joke.
