Where is the press response to this? FFS. Laura, get him out of this one.

He said talent.

That link doesn't seem to work for me.

Democratically controlled, mind.

most people have known Johnson is a racist for many years, but it doesnt seem to put that many off him, which is extremely worrying.

The media doesn't call it out, whereas corbyn only has to look in a funny way at a Jewish person, and the headlines are blazing out about how he hates Jews

I truly fear for democracy in this country, and I dont think we'll have it for too much longer either

Channel 4 has since deleted the video and issued an apology: "Boris Johnson says 'people of talent' not 'people of colour'. Our earlier tweet was a mistake. We misheard and we apologise."

What the hell?

Listen. He clearly says 'people of colour'.

'People of talent' isn't even a thing. You'd say talented people.

I've watched it and he does say colour, but stops half way through as if it were a mistake and turns the word into talent. Doesn't detract from the fact that he is a racist though.

He's so incoherent it could've been either "colour" or "talent".

I've give the fat old racist the benefit of the doubt and reckon he started to say colour and morphed into talent.

I think that is what happened. Embarrassing for him but not as malicious as his outright racist articles of the past.

It's like that gold/blue dress thing, isn't it. How fun!

Why would you restrict people of talent into the UK?

We should restrict trolls like you.

I've seen two different videos, one where he says colour, one talent.

And of course the tall story merchants

This.

There's one video where he clearly says 'colour', there's no ambiguity whatsoever. This was the first one.

After it was claimed he said 'talent', I've seen what must be a different video where you can't make out for certain whether he's said colour or talent.

We are being played. This is more sinister than simply having a racist PM, you know where you are with that.

James O'brien put out a tweet while live on air of another video at a different time & place where Boris clearly says
People of Talent.

Obrien was going to play the clip earlier in the show but stopped short as someone had mentioned he said talent.

LBC James O'Brien is not the type to hold back on
a dodgy comment tweet etc.

True tuffers especially as he hates the Tories to boot.

Well he is the balance for the Labour Hating furridge & Feraries who host shows to

Tommy Robinson supports Boris and the Tories. Former leader Sir John Major is campaigning against the Tories getting an overall majority. Let that sink in!
