Naga was just starting facts and telling the truth. BBC need to worry about how the are treating their pensioners and staff, instead of condemning for staff making a fact. I stand up for Naga.

This is what happens when the BBC Board of Governors is directly controlled by the government.

I fear you’re right. The loss of impartiality in some areas is quite staggering.

Just watched the BBC News slot on this story. It is just unacceptable, nonsensical and insilting to expect TV news presenters from black and ethnic minorities to turn the other cheek when dealing with racist statements from politicians. Even the President of the United States.

Yes it’s clearly not right and I am sure there are plenty of examples of BAME interviewers upholding principles af equality in the past - if the BBC should care to look. There will undoubtably be a precedent where an investigation was not deemed necessary.

As an institution you have shown nauseating bias to the extent that discerning viewers have opted for other channels to get their news and they avoid your current affairs programmes for the same reason. Worse, you pretend you are neutral. At least this lady was open and honest

@kmqkatie@BBCNewsEnts I no longer watch any BBC news or current affairs output. It's a waste of my time and my license fee. End of conversation

This decision just sends the message that racism, in all its forms, is obviously ok with the BBC. I'm totally behind
@BBCNaga & feel her comments about her own experiences were right, appropriate & should be supported rather than suppressed#IStandWithNaga -
At worst, BBC could have quietly said to her that they had received a complaint, accepted that her comment technically breached guidelines, understood her anger and context in which she said it, and for her just to be aware. No further action.

Humphrys was a kipper and completely illiberal. Newsnight put up a heavily photoshopped backdrop of
@jeremycorbyn outside the Kremlin after the Skripal poisoning. Your journalists and 'presenters' constantly make their opinions known. - 1 more reply

It shd terrify any minority in UK when the BBC paints their journalist experience of racism as opinions & silences their truths in an increasingly intolerant country all the while allowing the likes of Laura Kuenssberg to spend her days covering up for PM's endless transgressions
