I agree 100% with @BBCNaga on this. I don't see anything wrong with speaking your truth. I am a mere dj so don't do politics on my shows but every person of colour knows exactly what that phrase 'go back home' means . Unless you've experienced it, it's hard to truly understand.

Hard to make sense of the BBC's ruling against Naga Munchetty, particularly when she was simply agreeing with her co-host, & reflecting on her own experiences of racism in doing so.

Please avoid buying any tickets for any event I do from viagogo.They charge a ridiculous amount and lie about whether a gig is nearly sold out or not.They are advertising one of my gigs as almost sold out when tickets aren't even on sale yet.

Most Chelsea fans I know rate Loftus Cheek.Recent Chelsea managers are obsessed more with how good some midfielders are defensively rather than offensively.I reckon he will get his chance next year.I say with fingers,arms and legs crossed.
