It had been reported yesterday that the Metropolitan Police Force was assessing the joke following an allegation of incitement to violence.
Jo Brand has commented for the first time on the furore over her "battery acid" joke on Radio 4 programme Heresy.
The BBC has edited Jo Brand's "battery acid" joke out of the catch-up version of this Tuesday's edition of Radio 4 programme Heresy.
They have issued the following statement:
"We carefully considered the programme before broadcast. It was never intended to encourage or condone violence, and it does not do so, but we have noted the strong reaction to it. Comedy will always push boundaries and will continue to do so, but on this occasion we have decided to edit the programme. We regret any offence we have caused."
