British comic Jo Brand suggested tossing battery acid upon "easy to hate" political figures instead of trendy milkshakes — and got some big laughs.

The 61-year-old appeared on the BBC radio show "Heresy" Tuesday night, the Irish Examiner reported, and was asked about UK politics — which of late have featured woke leftists publicly pelting conservative figures such as Brexit leader Nigel Farage with milkshakes. Such physical attacks have been called "absolutely hilarious."

Listeners howled with laughter.

"That's just me ... I'm not gonna do it, it's purely a fantasy," Brand added, "but I think milkshakes are pathetic, I honestly do, sorry."

The host also replied to Farage's tweet, saying she's "disappointed" that he called for action against Brand.
