LBC Presenter Accused Of ‘Racist, Bigoted’ Comments | ||||
Nic Ferrari told Muslim caller to "go some place else"
Nic Ferrari was involved in a heated discussion on Monday (16th November) with a caller from Putney called Mahmoud, after the DJ had blamed the terror in Paris as a "Muslim problem", as the militants claim they are committing these acts in the name of Islam.
Ferrari retaliated by suggesting that Mahmoud sympathised with the motives behind other terror attacks, telling him,“So you’re one of the ones who has sympathy. So you probably had sympathy with the Charlie Hebdo killings. If you don’t like it sir, go some place else." Ferrari was then accused of using bigoted language for suggesting he leave the country because of his views on foreign intervention,“That’s a racist comment, are you a member of the EDL?” The LBC DJ refused to back down and repeated his stance that,“If you don’t like British Government policy and the only way you see of dealing with it is to go round shooting people then don’t stay in this country.” |
