"Why bother with a milkshake when you could get some battery acid?" she said, quickly adding that"I'm not going to do it, it's pure fantasy".
The BBC initially defended Brand against claims she incited violence, saying her comments were"not intended to be taken seriously". The corporation's Executive Complaints Unit [ECU] later ruled Brand's comments"went beyond what was appropriate" for a Radio 4 comedy show.

“Joke”.
Not a good outcome....
Vile horrible women , should never be on TV again.
I thought she was just a brilliant comedian. wrong! She is also a national hero as well!!!!
Great now we will never be able to shut her up...
Doesn't look like it did that much damage to her anyway
No surprise really
It was a tasteless and dangerous remark and doesn’t in anyway resemble a joke. Brand should be ashamed of herself for uttering such stupidity.
Ofcom did nothing really
Surprise surprise.....!!
Well it was only a joke that no one seemed to get. No one cares about context anymore and people are too stupid to know the difference between a joke and a statement of intent or fact.
The fact that jokes are still allowed and legal in 2020 is quite disheartening
Gryffindor! Quite right - democracies don't need joke police.
Anyone else would have been banged up pretty quick..
Common sense at last!!
Wasn’t this ‘joke’ like 6 months ago? Feels like this was pushed into grass so long no one would see it when it finally got decided.
Erm... that's Dame Barbara Cartland
Quite right. It was obviously a joke. Now apply the same standard to everyone, please.
Quite right, it was a joke
I refuse to watch this woman ever again
Come on are comics actually funny if they don’t cut to the bone every now & then. It’s comedy & it made me laugh 😂 Jo Brand is top notch & I don’t actually think she would give a flying f... what anyone thought.
Typical if she says such a disgusting thing again she should be done
Obviously! There are different standards for non lefties. We all know it and you reets are gonna pay the price in the future
Yes, Because it was a fucking joke.
So happy for Jo. She's a national treasure who was worked bloody hard to get to where she got as a comedian. I really wish she would come back on twitter. Unfortunately, gnarly gammon have chased her off with their vile responses
Celticanz Left wing, right wing? Couldn't care less. It's a joke. Imagine what people would make of Mark Lamarr on Never Mind the Buzzcocks?! Watch Mock the week if you don't want to be offended. redrichardson1 Julian_Deane
Celticanz Good. As it should be.
Why did this take so long it was a BLOODY joke
DAMNNNnnnn... what can I be outraged at next... (picks up the Daily Wail)! Grumpgrumpgrump!
And I’m sure we’d have had the same outcome if this had been a middle-aged right wing male 🤔
I wonder what the response would have been if Jo Brand had been a Brexiteer and said that Gina Miller, Adonis, AliCampbell and co should be dissolved in acid.
In the context of the show it was spot on and funny. Get a life
What a surprise, left wing regulatory defending a left wing luvvie.
Well surprise surprise
So comedians can tell jokes? Cool! Thanks, Ofcom
Funny that. So if you or me would say that then it's ok. Just making sure
the Brussels Broadcasting Corp cannot afford to get fined. They would have to cut further serious jounalism like the vicderbyshire show..we can't have that can we?. They have talent shows to pay for
Alt-right rage.😂
Ofcom acknowledging that JoBrand & joke rarely coincide...
Does that mean it’s now acceptable for someone to appear on national television and make the same joke about her?
Where are all the left wing professional outrage merchants denouncing her comment? Ah, of course, it's OK when they do it.
Will you take action over the refusal to release the Russia report?
I’m glad.
If it was a ‘right wing’ commentator - they would be in jail by now.
If anyone on of us made remarks like she did would would be branded a bunch of fascist, right wing thugs and probably prosecuted.

So she can carry on being absolutely vile. Nice.
Well you duplicitous lot bloody well should . Had Farage made that joke there would be a massive woke reaction from the bbc
damn shes so sexy
Funny how left wing comedians get away with the most vile comments.
