David Baddiel the Heresy programme creator and friend of Jo Brand still saying tonight the BBC should not have pulled the footage and it's mock confected outrage by the right and that nobody is sitting at home genuinely outraged.

So I just Tweeted him to tell him how wrong he is

personally I think Jo Brand should have apologised and the BBC should have put the matter to bed by editing it out. But yet again the BBC seem to think One rule for them and a different rule for anyone else with opposing views. The likes of Badiel and Coren et al seem to use our tax payer money to have their political views engrained upon us no matter how subtle or crass they do it.Where has good old fashioned impartiality gone.

I have always detested itv breakfast, but I saw it the other day and at least Piers Morgan seems to put an opposing opinion no matter how uncool the opinion may be. While Susana Reid fights the corner for the other side.

I think nothing is beyond making jokes about but that's not really the point I think.
This was a refreshing look at it to me:

I do not think it is a police matter, otherwise half of twitter would be under investigation.
What I find really disturbing, is that no body thought after recording the show , to cut that piece for being offensive. Further, is the show scripted ?
HIGNFY is scripted now and that is why it is so tame compared to the early shows

Bit of a mis quote there. I was disgusted by both Danny Baker & Jo Brand. I'm not a fan of either.

Both are disgusting. Danny Baker strongly inferred that to have coloured genes makes you closer to a monkey. With the numbered of coloured hospital consultants that shows what an idiot Baker is.
Jo Brand also was inciting violence.
The difference is that Baker knew he was sowing a racist seed. Wheras I don't think Brand thought for one second anyone would actually throw acid at Nigel Farage. But she was of course wrong.

“Monkey” never came into it. Pic was of a Chimpanzee, our nearest genetic relative.

Whatever.

But if you are trying to defend Baker, that says a lot about you.

For the record Brand should have had the acid comments edited out. Laid off for a year too.

Never found Brand particularly " funny ". Same goes for a lot of " Modern " comedians, who just resort to crass behaviour to earn a crust.

That Russell Brand thinks he's God's gift to women , well how he treated Andrew Sachs over his Daughter was definitely not funny
