Jo Brand’s Hate Speech
You must log in or register to see images

Last night on Radio 4 (where else?) leftie luvvie Jo Brand fantasised about throwing acid over politicians she doesn’t like. Making the kind of joke that leaves a bad taste, she told Victoria Coren Mitchell “why bother with a milkshake when you could get some battery acid?” It’s okay because Jo is left wing so she’s really compassionate…
“Certain unpleasant characters are being thrown to the fore, and they’re very, very easy to hate, and I’m kind of thinking, why bother with a milkshake when you could get some battery acid?
That’s just me, sorry, I’m not gonna do it, it’s purely a fantasy, but I think milk shakes are pathetic, I honestly do. Sorry.”
She’s
not the first to promote an acid attack. Nigel Farage tells Guido: “This is incitement of violence and the police need to act.”

Other groups encourage a return to faith as a way of coping with jailANDREW AITCHISON/CORBIS
Muslim gang leaders are orchestrating violence in top-security jails, including administering beatings to force inmates to convert to Islam, a report has said.
The gangs operated under the guise of religion, with a hierarchy of leaders, recruiters, enforcers, followers and foot soldiers, the report by the Ministry of Justice said. One non-Muslim inmate said: “There is an underlying pressure for people to convert and join the gang.
“Their tactic is to befriend someone when they come in. If they don’t convert, they will then start spreading rumours about them, that the person is a snitch, so that they will be ostracised. Then the beatings follow.”
Gang members told researchers that their strength of numbers on the wings spread fear among other inmates. One Muslim prisoner…

But she's an old left-wing trout so that's ok, if it had been anyone else i.e. not left-wing they'd be banished forever from the Biased Bastard's Corporation. Btw, it's our licence fees paying for this crap...

Think you’re picking the wrong targets here Lineker could be paid a lot more elsewhere for starters, you really want to look at the execs and their wages.
 
who would pay lineker more

2018 figures


Gary Lineker is BBC's best-paid star and only one not to take pay cut
BBC defends sums football anchor is paid as annual report shows gender pay gap continues

    Gary Lineker has become the BBC’s highest paid on-air talent and is the only one of the corporation’s big name male stars not to take a pay cut.
    Lineker, who fronts the BBC’s football coverage, is paid between £1.75m and £1.76m a year, supplanting at the top of the pay list the Radio 2 presenter Chris Evans, whose £2.2m salary has been reduced to £1.66m-£1.67m, partly as a result of quitting the BBC2 show Top Gear.
    A number of others have taken pay cuts – including the Today programme presenter John Humphrys, Radio 5 Live’s Nicky Campbell and the BBC News anchor Huw Edwards – as part of BBC efforts to redress a significant gender pay gap among on-air talent.
    Tony Hall, the BBC director general, said that with the vast sums paid to those on and off the field in the world of sport, the corporation has no choice but to pay Lineker accordingly to retain him.
    “Lineker is doing the most amazing job and I hope he will do an amazing job when England are in the final on the weekend,” said Hall. “There is always going to be one or two people where the market for what they do is absolutely real, visceral.
    “When we are talking about a Lineker … we are talking about someone who has the option of going somewhere else and doing it. And there are people out there bidding for someone like that.”
    The BBC’s third-best paid star was Graham Norton, in the £600,000 to £610,000 bracket, fourth is the BBC Radio 2 presenter Steve Wright, on £550,000 to £560,000, with Edwards fifth, on £520,000 to £530,000.
    Of the 12 new entrants to make the list of those paid £150,000 or more, eight are women. The name to cause the most disgruntled murmurs in the BBC newsroom was Amol Rajan, a former editor of the Independent who joined two years ago as media editor, who is paid £200,000 to £210,000.
    This is the same as veterans such as Jeremy Bowen, the BBC’s Middle East editor, and more than Katya Adler, the BBC’s Europe editor, another new entrant.

Or maybe he could point the finger at the Tory government which caused this situation in the first place.

Or better still not bother copying and pasting such fatuous bollocks at all.​

apparently

The “cost” to the BBC is around £700,000 for licences for the over 75’s.

Divide by £154.50 = 4531 pensioners.
Bearing in mind the license fee was allowed to rise as long as our over 75’s still got free viewing, there is actually no cost to the BBC. They must be made to reinstate
