What! just because she doesn't hold the same views, so she thinks its ok to use violence to express her dissatisfaction by commenting on public radio (that is not sarcasm).
Brand continued her comment by saying ''I’m not going to do it, it’s purely a
fantasy''.
Obviously Brand wouldn't do such a thing, but its the words and the thought behind what she said. Her remarks are far more serious than a simply joke Alan, fantasizing about throwing acid over a person, especially with the spate of recent attacks has left many sickened and horrified.
No one should use violence against another person just because they hold different views than them, throwing any type of object or substance at someone is a violent act.
Theresa May has said
''politicians should be able to go about their work and campaign without harassment, intimidation or abuse''.
Jo Brands remarks, and with the BBC allowing such content to be broadcast is in fact normalising violence, its certainly nothing to joke about.
These walkabouts politicians do have a serious safety aspect to them, even Trumps state visit brought out the
hate mob, so you can see how dangerous such remarks can impact the safety of a person.
