Nasty. This guy isn’t harming anyone, doesn’t say anything anti-British, he’s just ignorant in a way plenty of other British people are, of whatever ethnicity. So what’s the significance of the clip? Him being black?

w/Sienna Rodgers: The BBC doesn't plan to send Politics Live to party conferences this year, disappointing staff and prompting former culture secretary Sir John Whittingdale MP to urge the corporation to think again "The decision... is a further erosion of their political coverage"
