Permission to chip in. David Starkey. Or as I thought, Jack Whitehall's dad. Who? Exactly. And what about the young guy who sat there making a crust from just nodding, in supposed agreement? Is he not experienced, or perhaps sadly, for one so young, just doesn't care enough to pull the bigot up on his prejudiced, dumb-ass, unscholarly views.

Why doesn't the UK television just host something called ''Britain's Got Racist Talent''. ( In the interests of equality why not go further...the sky's the limit, could have one week Britain's Got Xenophobic/Anti-Semitic/Anti-Muslim/ Anti-Women Talent.) They could all be there. Katy Hopkins, Tommy Robinson, Prof Starkey, Farage, the Daily Mail, and all the other awkward bastards ( have you got an hour to spare..) who think making money from being an intolerant, jingoistic, racist, immigrant bashing, pig ignorant, uncool prick beats working for a living. Then there could be a programme for the winners called I Am A Racist Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, and we, the rest of us, the vast majority, the general populace who I still believe is good and kind and more than fed up with watching this bullshit can vote to throw them in the Pit of Tarturus or better still, why not an inactive volcano. Anything, anything to leave us in peace to be good and kind and funny and helpful. In case of doubt, there could be a kind of Eurovision version. Chuck in the far right from Spain, Italy and Germany too or perhaps there will be no time as they all seem to be doing a great job of self immolation. Forever the martyr the lot of them, let them go to their own hell.
