@Lindsay3668 agreed: “Using the word Nazi as a slur or insult is in poor taste for anyone who graces our tv screens,” and added that it was “only used by people with no counter argument or solution [to the immigration issues].”
@GeorgieLondon7 chimed in to say: “Britain has possibly been the most generous place for refugees that’s why so many want to come!!
“But something has to change ’cause 45000 new people arriving a year isn’t sustainable or fair on everyone who need to use public services like the NHS!”
However, followers like @TattooLane supported Fern, saying: “Glad you’ve made a U-turn there Fern. Gary is allowed to speak out against injustice, as are we all. My understanding is that it’s only newsreaders and political commentators at the BBC who have to remain impartial, not private citizens.”
Meanwhile, @MattPPea asked: “How can you be ‘impartial’ about cruelty and inhumanity? The BBC seems to have gone a bit doodah.”
