Sack Jo Brand from BBC for suggesting acid attacks on politicians

The Issue

On the 12th June Radio 4 programme "Heresy", Jo Brand joked that she would prefer acid to be thrown at political opponents and their supporters instead of milkshakes . Although she quickly qualified this by saying she wouldn't really do it she said she 'fantasized ' about it. Only supporters of Brexit or Donald Trump have been targeted in this way. Her sick joke is a nasty implied threat to anyone who supports Brexit (or Trump) and every Brexit supporting politician.
