Carl Benjamin comes across as a bit of a knob however does anyone really think that the police should be wasting their time on this kind of nonsense?

“UKIP candidate's Jess Phillips rape 'joke' to be investigated”

Yes he should be sanctioned in some way. What an idiot. How would you feel if it was your wife/daughter/sister he was talking about. Satire? He wants to go look the word up, that was just a lowest common denominator barrel scraping comment designed to get laughs from his imagined audience.

Edit, it's slightly different than the 'wouldn't with a barge pole' kind of comment...the guy mentions rape explicitly. And being drunk. Does this excuse rape? What is his mindset?
I am pretty much "get over it" sort but this goes way over my boundary line
The guy is a complete throbber who personally I think has real issues with women.

I must have missed some of this, there seems to be an awful lot of fuss over a slight loon saying something not very funny but also not threatening on the internet.

I was hoping the media would've moved past UKIP by now.

Problem is they keep offering up a conveyor belt of lunacy.

Even if they did nick it off a protestor.

The best approach to dealing with Benjamin is to ignore him. His provocative language and targetted personal insults and just designed to gain him the attention he craves.

People assaulting him or throwing fish at him will just be taken as signals that his approach is working and will therefore sadly embolden him to continue his dire contribution to public discourse.

Given the person who egged Corbyn was jailed, then surely prosecutions should follow?

Why? Sunlight is the best of disinfectants. Let these people speak and be challenged. For example, Nick Griffin being allowed on Question Time pretty much ended his career given what a fool he made of himself. No-platforming people is just silly.

The police need to take action before attacking people with different political leanings becomes a acceptable behaviour.

Was in Blackpool yesterday and clocked a UKIP stall. The oldr guys seemed quite cheery and the type to take part in a Captain Birdseye lookalike competition

I agree to an extent.

At some point, and goodness knows how you define this, I think people are simply taking the piss.

My personal view is Benjamin is long past that point.

If he wants to run on a free speech ticket and thinks he's being clever with his rapey comments so be it, but he shouldn't be surprised when his actions have consequences.

He already does that he has almost a million subscribers a video he uploaded just 2 days ago as over 300k views with 30k likes and only a few hundred dislikes. His entire career as been built on talking to the public.
This is why they don't want him to speak because he isn't the far right evil person they try to make out he is and given the chance to debate them lots of people will realize this. So instead they themselves turn into the fascists they imagine and pretend to fight against but are too stupid to see it.
