Whomp whomp

No action against Fiona Bruce.

If you are a nobody and have nothing constructive to say, just play the racist card and it will get you on the front page. How sad is that.

Ms Munchetty was perfectly correct. The language used by Trump was racist because it is reasonable to suppose that Trump is a racist. BBC has made a terrible mistake.

As they should. 17 cases invoking 'Trump' in connection with violence, threats, assaults

The BBC is just a hard right mouthpiece at this point. No better than Fox news or the Daily Mail. BBC staff should show solidarity and leave this shitshow run for the benefit of billionares!

considering her position, she got off far too lightly.

The BBC!? Biased!?

I would back 100 per cent.This parthetic bent bastard show go. The world would a better place without him.

Much ado about nothing.

Excellent.

Does BBC policy require journalists to treat Hitler as though he's 50% good and 50% bad? Are terrorists addressed without bias? Trump is a racist. That is a statement of fact.

trump is race hate ,he was and dad was kkkglan

She No Right to air her views on our TV Channel

I'm with her. Sometimes you've got to say it like it is, no matter the consequences

She did the journalistic thing. Not even commentary. She just said it as it is.

She should remain unbiased in front of viewers, t.v. is a powerful medium. Use the same outlets to vent as the rest of us have to.

Your only allowed to call Corbyn on the BBC.

Pelosi pursues trump because he has a beautiful wife and we can understand her envy, but what claims this Sadiq Khan sister has against trump is not clear

The Independent that was disgraceful and uncalled for’ is this what I paying my TV licence for ,a biased presenter’

They were afraid that her lies could be proved

BBC 'political correctness' gone mad. Naga said nothing offensive - and in a democracy has every right to have a view - BBC presenter or not.

Good 4 her...
