@afuahirsch @BBCNaga This is important. Michael Grade on Newsnight reverted to the ‘this is about impartiality’ line, totally swerving why Naga was singled out by the complainant and then ECU. BBC do themselves no favours asserting ‘black people misunderstand the issue’ - we don’t. #whitesplaining

If this scandal isn't leading all @BBCNews @itvnews @SkyNews bulletins today, and @BBCNewsnight @Channel4News and even bloody @GBNEWS (accept they'll take a more celebratory stance) then it will tell you all you need to know about uk newsrooms.

What's the difference between an asylum seeker from Sudan and one from Ukraine? Both are victims of war. Both have safe countries between there and here that they can seek sanctity. Both are worthy of asylum imho. Will the system treat them equally? Here's a real test.

@DavidHarewood It shows our presence is still seen as conditional by some. Do well and it's modern, multicultural Britain. Do badly or make a mistake and our contribution and presence is up for debate - from taking penalties to deporting 'Windrush' cases, same thinking from street to Government

Everyone who works in news should read this from @jamelia and then take a long hard look at themselves and ask if they want to remain part of the problem or actively be part of the solution. @WritersofColour @josephharker

@yassmin_a I'm middle class in terms of income and employment, but with working class values and allegiances. My fate is more closely tied to that of working class people than the upper classes or the elite.

So IMHO BBC had choices here. 1) Dismiss complaint out of hand because on any reading of evidence it’s marginal at best, especially in a live context. 2) Dismiss complaint made against Naga alone because she didn’t breach ‘Trump motivation’ concept alone or 3) find against Naga..

Great to watch @JillADouglas @GabbyLogan and @Sonjamclaughlan helming the coverage of the 6Nations. TV international rugby has been miles ahead of football on this point.

@mrdanwalker @GaryLineker We know the answer because John Whittingdale on @bbcpm , calling for Linekar's head, was asked the question and said he wouldn't have a problem, and it would be a matter for the Labour Party. Proof of needed about how partisan this row is

@DavidOlusoga Good to see a sense of priorities in the middle of a pandemic, Brexit decimating the Scottish fishing industry, school kids going hungry and mafia level graft for friends and family of the government.

What a book!!Got it yesterday night. Finished it this morning. Really keen to read what happened next. Without the evidence you wouldn’t believe it was true; knowing it’s true still beggars belief. @lemnsissay you’ve done something very special. I’m sure your mum is proud of you.

@krishgm There was a sequence on this in the Cambridge Analytica film, showing how they claimed they’d swung the Trinidad/Tobago election and now we know probably Brexit and USA 2016 as well.

@Nadine_Writes Well they shouldn't moan when their needs continue to be ignored. At the very least, given our history, they should turn up. Sure, spoil the ballot or vote for all of them, but turn up. Too many people have died to waste the right.
