    ITV News presenter Alastair Stewart is stepping down from his role following what ITN called "errors of judgment in Alastair's use of social media".

    In a statement, the veteran broadcaster, 67, said: "It was a misjudgement which I regret."

    ITN said he had breached editorial guidelines, but did not elaborate on the reasons for his departure.

    Sounds like an unnecessarily hasty decision to give him the boot for someone who has been around so long. Don’t see it as Danny Baker-esque.

    Perhaps but it's best not to call a black man an angry ape

    The way some were acting today was pathetic. It's done now and we can move on.
    There will be the usual fanatics trying to cause problems but they disappear as quickly as Grieve and Co

    What a totally undignified exit by Farage and his mates. Bet he doesn't hand back the pension he will receive from the institution he despises so much.

    Thank god Mairead Mc Guinness cut off his mic for breaking house rules of waving national flags.

    Good bye Nige and dont forget to close the door on your way out. PS - don't forget where your considerable pension came from you ungrateful ****.

    I also thought Nigel could have been a bit more graceful. Many in Brussels have been a bit nasty to him in the past so I guess he thought it was payback. It was theatre and nothing else. He even said it himself, that he is the Pantomime villian and they boo him.
    As for Pension? he has spent 27 years there so why shouldn't he have one? You don't have to like a job to claim pension. Before we knock Farage's pension, you should also think about the mass amount of hanger ons that get paid ridiculous amounts for doing nothing in Brussels... not to mention the money that is wasted? However, I believe he is not taking it and has stated this.
    I think we will all be happy when it's over and can move on. :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Pienaar Laughs Along with “Coconut” Slur Against Saj



    Audio Player

    writing last year:
    The BBC failed to challenge an on-air racial slur against Sajid Javid yesterday, with John Pienaar instead nervously laughing along after left-wing comedian Shazia Mirza called the first ethnic minority chancellor a “coconut“. The term used against BAME people who are said to have ‘betrayed their race’; with them depicted as ‘brown on the outside, white on the inside’…

    Mizra has repeatedly used the slur against Saj, writing last year:
    “Some people think the term ‘coconut’ is brazenly racist. It could be, depending on the way that it’s used. When I refer to Sajid Javid as a coconut, I am not referring to his skin colour; I am referring to his lack of loyalties and patriotism towards a group of people from the same background.”

    Which sounds to Guido like she is referring to his race…

    Last year Saj felt forced to hit out against a torrent of left-wing racial slurs including ‘coconut‘ and ‘uncle Tom‘, demanding that Jeremy Corbyn denounce supporters of his who repeatedly sling them at him.

    Mizra view does seem to be isolated, with people on all sides of the political spectrum condemning the phrase. Pienaar, however, chose to chuckle along rather than challenge the targeted slur. Why?
