Gov't Slams BBC for Bafta Blunder! Culture Secretary Demands Action as Racial Slur Rocks the Airwaves

Scandal at the Baftas! Culture bigwig Lisa Nandy has blasted the BBC after a racial slur slipped through during the live broadcast, slamming it as 'completely unacceptable and harmful'. The Culture Secretary didn't mince words, proclaiming her disdain for the slip-up and making a beeline to discuss the blunder with the BBC top dogs. With a full-scale investigation now underway, the government's taken a firm stance – aligning with public shock and demanding, 'This must never happen again!'

Airing dirty laundry! Despite a cushy two-hour delay that could've axed the offensive language, the fumble went live during the glitzy ceremony. Hotshots Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage when the slur erupted from the crowd. The man behind the mishap? John Davidson, a Tourette syndrome campaigner, whose involuntary outburst has sparked this tidal wave of controversy. MPs are now hounding the broadcaster for answers – given ample time to edit, how did the incident slip through the cracks? The BBC is feeling the heat, and heads are sure to roll as the Beeb faces the music. Stay tuned as the drama unfolds!
