No because Lucy Connolly is, apparently, an unapologetic racist, whereas Jo Brand is a left wing “ commediene” so her comments should be taken as a joke.
WE last few posts on here sums up what I had previously said. How anyone can make an excuse for JB comments when he has admitted she has an intense dislike for him, beggars belief

I am not excusing her!

It was bad taste, but it was only a joke told in bad taste. Without the potential to incite.

Unlike the behaviour of Connolly. Not in my opinion, but that of the Judge who considered it.

He is an ex President of South Africa who now leads a minority party. The government, and the ANC, have moved on from those sentiments which are rooted in the dark days of apartheid. The song now being classified as hate speech and banned from use by the ANC.

Neither Jeremy Corbyn nor Nigel Farage speak for the UK so why should any songs they might sing at rallies be seen as reflecting government policy?

Most don’t speak for Gaza but constantly sing about it !

Maybe a judge would have opined that JB was inciting hatred but, of course, no action was taken against her.

Whereas Carol Thatcher was sacked for making a joke about a jam jar label.
