The 89th appearance of Stefan Dennis. Can they get through this bit without playing his ancient record?

Yas is never happy. Wonder if there are pics of her burning that lacy bra. Are my eyes ready for it.

Only five per cent instead of thirteen per cent are non-white presenters on the Beeb.

And how many "people of colour" are fronting Five shows Wrighty? A lot less than five per cent I'll bet so wouldn't that be a more apt topic?

The answer would be a big NO Matthew. They get the job because they are the best at it not because of sex race religion or colour. Stop with this positive discrimination crap.

Another topic to appease Yas. Will Matthew step aside and give his job to a person of colour so that he will feel good about himself?

You do know the subject has been aimed at the BBC and not channel 5.

Err...yeah. Wrighty just had a pop at News Int. for not telling his researcher how ethnically diverse their staff were and yet any self-awareness about his own show and Five's lack of diversity seems wholly lost on him.

Hey! Someone hangs up on Wrighty instead of the other way round! You GO girl!

He keeps saying person of colour, we all have a colour I am a rather nice salmony pink

Yasmin is also the same colour as Dominic and Stephan, who gives a damn about skin pigment, just give the job to the best person .

The white man hate from Yas is burning through, its her default mode.

Matthew you got your ass kicked so stop trying to push this shitty agenda.

Classic TWS phone-in. Total lack of self-awareness of how the issue under discussion is more pertinent to his show/his employers coupled with more hostility towards callers.

The show in a nutshell.

He was so rude to that woman whose daughter has got a job with the BBC - just because she waffled a bit, he decided it wasn't going the way he wanted it too - glad she put the phone down on him and had the last laugh.

Yasmin doesn't like Katie Hopkins. I guess it's too much like looking in a mirror.

"I've been on a whinge today haven't I?" she says. Today being any different, how exactly...?

I know its not going to happen but Lee Hurst and Katie Hopkins on the panel with yas for a week. A ratings winner.

Wow, I don't normally have the chance to see this show. In a debate about race issues at the BBC he gets a call from an Asian lady whose daughter works for them and decides her experience and opinions aren't relevant so shouts at her until she hangs up. What an immense tool this man is.
Straker

Wrighty even has "friends" in Banksy's entourage - Is there no area of life in which he doesn't have "friends"? He's like Facebook-made-flesh!

A woman whose (Asian) daughter has got a job at the BBC and that isn't relevant to the topic in question?!?!? You're lucky you've still got a job, Matthew.

I never really had much time for Toyah, but that's actually quite a brave thing to say on television in this political climate and so soon after his death.
I'm not going to condemn Ali, it's not I'm aware that he preached hatred, but I think it's disingenuous of Dominic to brush it off saying that he said some silly things in the 70s. Muhammed Ali wasn't an idiot and his views on keeping racial purity were his real opinions.
Agree or disagree, but to Ali his opinions can't be passed off as just 'silly'.

Show me one. You'll be telling me next that calling someone h*nky is as bad as calling someone n*gg*r.

Can I remind you that the Greatest Briton of all time, as voted by the British public was Winston Churchill, who said plenty of repulsive and racist things - he was what we called 'flawed', and so was Ali. Ali was not a saint, he said a lot of stupid things, a lot of which had to to do with the ideology he was involved with. I agree that it should be mentioned, however when someone famous dies they are instantly canonized these days by our obsequious media and opportunistic politicians.”

There's no such thing as reverse racism, there's just racism.
Reverse racism would simply be to not be racist. But you don't need a term for that other than to describe somebody as non-racist if it fits.
Experiences don't define the word, you are either racist against people of another race or you're not.

It blew his daft argument apart though and Wrighty only wants phone callers agreeing with his views. Glad she cut him off.

If Wrighty feels so passionate about it then lets see if he will hand his job over to a black person.

I'm not holding my breath!

Yasmin: "That's why I'm so left wing."

So left wing that you (and a group of other Hampstead 'lefties') urged voters to vote Lib Dem at the 2010 General Election, thus unleashing the coalition government on the very same poor people you are now ostentatiously hand wringing about. Well done, Yasmin.

Ugh, I cannot bear that woman.
