Made a career out of being a fat ugly unfunny ****, but freedom of speech must prevail, I say.

Nowt wrong with being a FUUC.

Er, according to my mate.

So if a politician openly says he thinks women should be raped - you think that’s perfectly acceptable ?

Now. For me. If a comedian jokes about rape .. ie: David Brent ‘I think there’s been a rape up there!’ It is acceptable.

It’s about context , pure and simple.

They have the right to say stupid things too. As do you.

The dangerous ones are those who think they can decide what's just a joke and what isn't.

Well when it’s a comedian making a audience laugh then obviously it’s a joke!

A stupid unfunny comment unworthy of all this attention. More important things to be concerned about with young people killing each other with knives.

The BBC sacked that git Danny Baker for making a 'funny' comment about the Royals, and he was sacked. Has the BBC sacked Jo Brand?

Did she threaten to put on military clothing, pick up a rifle & go to Parliament or something ?

They deemed he posted a racist picture.

They deemed Jo Brand was telling a joke to make a audience laugh with no intent to carry out the act.
