David Baddiel on the limits of comedy, free speech and social media

Comedian Jo Brand was accused of inciting violence after joking on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4's Heresy about throwing acid instead of milkshakes at "unpleasant characters". She later apologised for what she called a "crass and ill-judged" joke.

The show's creator, David Baddiel, said the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ was "cowardly" for removing the joke from a repeat of the episode.

The Metropolitan Police has said it will take no further action over Jo Brand's comments on a radio show about throwing battery acid at politicians
