BBC CENSOR “Free Palestine” At BAFTAs, Racial Slurs Allowed
BBC claim they didn't notice the n word, despite a 2 hour delay between filming and them broadcasting.
But they did notice the phrase "Free Palestine" and chose to censor it. What justification could they possibly give for censoring "Free Palestine" as a supposedly impartial broadcaster? Hmm...

Stopped watching any live television, and cancelled my TV License. They can ask a certain country from the MiddleEast for the missing subscription, for what I care.
Should have said "Free Palestine my n...a!"
Baftas 2026: BBC apologises for not editing out racial slur shouted by guest with Tourette's - BBC News – https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cz6edwg06n1o
Some are unhappy with how weak the apology is, but contrary to the above report that they said they didn't notice, it says
Convenient Tourettes is inconvenient The spot-on timing of the comment and its relevance to the situation leave an impression of willful action. It's apparently not the case, and the fact that the person who made the comment left the building after making the comment is indicative of understanding the offensiveness of the comment. Free Palestine does not require any apology from anybody.
Tourettes can be triggered more the more inappropriate the setting is... hence timing and relevance issue
You could have made that easier to understand.
In what way? I have english as a second language so appreciate constructive criticism :)
"Tourette's tics can become more frequent or intense in situations where they would be considered most inappropriate — which is why timing and context play such a significant role in the condition."
Thanks, that is a more smooth and clear way to express it!
