collect all the outrage, swooning, justification, bile and invective here folks. I like the observations of Ricky Gervais myself.

Freedom of speech is sacrosanct ? including your right to call me a c...nt , and my right of reply, you c...nt . innit ?

Kayla did Anfield & Old Trafford

It was a crass attempt at a joke from a **cough** 'Comedienne' what I get pissed off about are the double standards from yes once again the good old BBC.
They sacked Danny Baker, but stick up for Brand.
It's rumored that it was Brand herself that got Carole Thatcher sacked a while back.

Pro USA & Israel

And look how the the left reacted to the "I wouldn't even rape you" Joke Carl Benjamin.
The left have lost all credibility now.

This is a first I actually agree with most of what Gervais says a man I find completely unfunny.

I am not outraged by Jo Brand and I think Farage is milking it (geddit) for all it's worth. That said the BBC was wrong to broadcast it and having done so they and Brand should have apologised and moved on.

It's the refusal of both to see it is not funny that is the problem. Last night I heard a victim of an acid attack who was pretty upset with them. Would Jo Brand have said just stab them? I think not because stabbing people is not funny neither is throwing acid in someone's face.

And as other's have pointed out Jo Brand got Carol Thatcher sacked because she was offended, doesn't work the other way though does it Jo?

One more point

Seems like both camps are a bit touchy about freedom of speech for the other side, but not too bothered when it comes to ‘one of their own’.

Snowflake Farage? Brand banished to Belmarsh?

Vive le Roy!

As I understand it Jo Brand is a Palace supporter and should be protected at all costs. The mere fact that she's not remotely funny, to the left of Stalin, sexist and deliberately chubby should not cloud our views of the stupid cow. We must protect our own, stick up for the old red and blue, link arms and cry rejoice. So leave the cretin alone, pick on someone else and relax knowing that it's people like her (well not actually like her obviously) that inform and educate us, keep us on the straight an' narrer, ever mindful of good taste and the needs of others.
