I'm laughing at the Beeb trying so desperately to be seen as inclusive that they ended up tying themselves in knots rather than do the obviously right thing.
It's a shit situation to find yourselves in, but if you can find the time to edit out the words "Free Palestine", you can obviously edit this too. That they chose not to is... interesting.

They were wrong for editing it out, and doubly wrong by apologising for not doing so quicker.
It was a fantastic example of how awkward living with Tourette's can be for sufferers and those unfamiliar with the condition.
