Anti-racist fury as Starkey calls Mehdi Hasan ‘Ahmed’
“BIGOT” David Starkey was deemed unfit for television by equality campaigners yesterday after his latest racist blunder on BBC Question Time.
During a debate on free speech after last week’s events in Paris, Mr Starkey addressed Huffington Post UK political director Mehdi Hasan as “Ahmed.”
The gaffe, which was swiftly rectified by Mr Hasan, caused a fibre-optic freakout with hundreds calling the historian a “bigot,” “Islamophobic” and an “idiot” online.
