Jo Brand
Jo Brand (b. 1957) is a UK-based far-left, anti-monarchy feminist who has been described a 'comedian'. She has also worked as an actress, writer and TV host and is best known for her 'jokes' that political opponents should be attacked with battery acid.
History
In May 2019, after left-wing thugs threw a milkshake over Euroskeptic politician and activist Nigel Farage, Brand remarked that the thugs should have used battery acid instead.[1]
The hypocrisy of the battery acid controversy was exposed by UK conservative commentator Darren Grimes on 20 December 2022. MPs resigned that month after Jeremy Clarkson remarked that Meghan Markle should have excrement flung at her and Grimes noted that MPs did not do the same in the wake of Brand's comments 3 years prior.[2]
