It’s not easy listening to someone complaining about something that is special to you, but a bus journey only lasts so long and it can blow over for most of us.
Yet, if it’s a live station broadcast it’s not so simple as to consider it’s just a passing comment.
In a recent example, Patrick Christy of GB News is now alleged of hate by saying Eid is used for rape by Pakistani men.
It’s reminiscent of a troubled era in recent political history, and brings up the unfortunate efforts of radicals and far right people.
MEND is calling for an investigation into the comment, which the Muslim group calls “a grave and unqualified allegation” in breach of obvious TV rules.
The seriousness of any and all accusations aside, perhaps GB News should plan their content in future, at least in regard to such emotive and sensitive a topic.
