Utterly graceless speech, by a uniquely shit candidate, reported on a profoundly inept news channel.

I would like to buy this wonderful human being a pint. 🔥 #BBCQT

Labour's Sarah Jones points out Tory London mayoral candidate Susan Hall has promoted Islamophobic tropes, endorsed the beliefs of Enoch Powell, and claimed the Black community has a problem with crime.
