Do all minorities matter? This week at the BAFTAS, John Davidson who has Tourette's Syndrome – and was at the awards for the film I Swear which covers his life with the condition – became overwhelmed by his tics and shouted the n word at two black actors on stage. Although Davidson apologised and left the ceremony, it has sparked a row over who is the real victim in this situation. Natasha Feroze is joined by Rod Liddle to discuss the saga, whether the BBC should have pulled the recording entirely, whether John Davidson was wrong to apologise, and how this shows the glaring holes in the progressive agenda to support all identities.
