Brit TV personality Jo Brand has landed herself in hot water (warning: link contains pics of Jo Brand) with this silliness:
The BBC has defied calls to sack comedian Jo Brand after she suggested on a Radio 4 panel show that protesters should throw acid instead of milkshakes at right wing politicians.
However, as stupid as that statement was, this was worse:
Nigel Farage accused the 61-year-old of ‘inciting violence’ and called on the police to act after her comments on an episode of Heresy.
I know that this is Britishland, where the fuzz can arrest you for making an off-color comment on Twitter, but my main point is quite simple.
As long as the loony Left (and few are loonier than Jo Brand) can continue to talk trash like this and remain unpunished, the better for all of us — because, as Longtime Readers will know only too well, I’ve often suggested tying socialists to a chair and beating them to death with a baseball bat. It is, of course, just hyperbole; I don’t really want to beat anyone to death (except maybe for a few of the worst socialists), and I’m reasonably sure that if some loon decided that a little acid be tossed in, say, Jeremy Corbyn’s face on the “good for the goose, good for the gander” principle, that Jo Brand would be “shocked, shocked ” that someone took her at her (jocular) word.
Ultimately, of course, this is going to turn around and bite the loony Left, for two reasons. In the first case, most ordinary people would be horrified if, say, Boris Johnson or Mike Pence were to get a faceful of acid, and the political repercussions would be severe — the loonies would alienate even more voters from their side than they’re already doing.
The second case, and I speak here of the U.S. specifically, would be a lot worse than simple political repercussions: some would-be acid-tosser [sic] would be quite likely to get a .45 bullet in his face the minute he raised the jug. And the rest of America would cheer the shooter to the rafters.
Once again, I say that the Left seems to be all about violence because they think we’re evil; but I don’t think they’ve really thought this through, unless they have a martyr complex (and they might — they are that twisted).
As long as they keep talking shit like Jo Brand has, we can just laugh at them, until, that is, some loony gets “triggered” into action. But using the rozzers to arrest people for talking shit is wrong — I believe that’s covered in one of the Constitutional Amendments, somewhere — because the minute we conservatives support that nonsense, it’s going to get used against us, a lot more than against them.
Remember: words mean nothing (in terms of legal action); it’s deeds that (rightly) engender a response from agents of the State.
Or a response from a concerned conservative (see “.45 bullet” above). The Brits don’t have that 0ption, of course, because they have no Constitution and no real Bill of Rights so the fuzz can fuck with the citizenry all they want, but that’s their problem.
And now, if you’ll excuse me, I think I’ll go and oil a length of rope. Then it’s range time. Those .45 bullets won’t aim themselves, you know.
1) Eating beaver is an aphrodisiac, Polish minister claims — why yes, yes it is.
2) Instagram crashes AGAIN: Users around the world hit by outage, leaving them unable to login or load the app — First World problem
3) Indian man is killed in fight to the death over WATER — Third World problem
4) Man is run over (twice) and is robbed while lying at the side of the road — just wasn’t his day, was it?
5) After a $1 million restoration, historic ship collides with container ship and sinks — wasn’t their day, either.
6) Man Guarding Miners From Pride Of 14 Lions Is Killed — By An Elephant — Africa Wins Again.
And to end the carnage:
7) Some stupid bitch screams abuse at a Trump supporter, loses her job as a consequence — and as sure as night follows day, some asswipe takes umbrage because Oh My We’re Better Than That, not realizing that unless we continue to use the Left’s own rules against them, they’re going to not only carry on being assholes, but get worse.
Screw them both, the Left and the Appeasers. There are consequences for acting like an asshole, and it’s time the Left experienced that.
Borrowed from Knuckledragger, this pic presents a problem:
Regarded from the point of its effect on humanity: is it better to let the redhead drive, or to man the gun?
Your thoughts in Comments…
It’s not often that a newspaper story leaves me convulsed with laughter, but this one did:
Red-faced auction house chiefs are forced to look for a new venue after bidders are put off by ‘screams of pleasure’ coming from swingers club upstairs
You have to read the whole thing to get the full Monty, so to speak, but I started giggling just at the thought of a staid-looking commercial building inside which both of these are going on simultaneously:
Yeah I know, I’m a sick and twisted man… and don’t even get me started on “Greedy Ladies Day”.
