Blatant racism at the BBC!

I thought I was hearing things last night when, straight after Question Time, This Week started and Andrew Neil compared his two sidekicks to biscuits.



According to old Brillo, we have a chocolate hob nob and a custard cream....


What do you think would have happened if someone else said that, perhaps a guest on Question Time? Or any other 'non BBC luvvie' type?

Twitter would go into meltdown, phones would be going nuts at the BBC complaints department and e mails would be flying into their in-boxes.

Many thanks to Mr Ishmael for confirming what I thought I heard.

Check out the show on BBC i player, about one minute twenty five seconds in.

Yep, I had to double-take when I heard that. Almost choked on me kebab.

Followed you link today, but "No longer available". BBC say broadcasts are available for 7 days, but obviously not this one. I wonder why!

I was shocked, shocked to the very core. What is Britain coming to that such offensively biscuity language should be used by a public service broadcaster!
