On Wednesday, Dr Kandiah, founder of refugee charity The Sanctuary Foundation, referred to a Mail on Sunday article written by Jenrick this weekend.

He quoted a line from the Conservative politican that said: “I certainly don’t want my children to share a neighbourhood with men from backward countries who broke into Britain illegally and about whom we know next to nothing.”

Dr Kandiah continued: "These words echo a fear many have absorbed – fear of the stranger. The technical name for this is xenophobia. All phobias are, by definition, irrational. Nevertheless, they have a huge impact.

xenophobia “extreme dislike or fear of foreigners, their customs, their religions, etc.”

Sorry, I’m confused. BBC apologising for accurate reporting? Accurately calling out racism?

Still got a Tory appointed chairman and many board members. I remember when they used to attempt to be impartial.
