Stupid thing to quote in this day and age. I doubt he meant it in a racist way but still should have known better.

After 40 years of exemplary service too.
What do the panel think? Justified?
These BBC "celebs" should be shipped out after five years to make room for new talent, instead of a handful favoured talking heads being kept on for decade after decade!
After all, it isn't as if the BBC has to make a profit, although I suppose it relies on ratings up to a point, to justify the TV licence.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

Mr Shapland reported the exchange, on January 13, to Stewart’s employer..
It looks rather like Shapland considers references to apes to be references to black people. That kind of makes him racist. The only mistake Stewart made was to not realise that he'd given Shapland an opportunity to play the race card. Shows that Shapland is a nasty piece of work.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

I don't particularly like how he did that, and God knows I don't like Boris - but I think the anger around that was misplaced.Last edited by vwdan; 30 January 2020, 12:27.Comment
