Sir Trevor McDonald is "A Fat Black Bastard."


Sir Trevor McDonald has escaped accusations of racism, despite calling the late comedian Bernard Manning a "fat, white bastard."

He made the comment on his satirical ITV1 show, News Knight, one week after the death of the stand-up comic at the age of 76.

A total of 112 viewers complained to media regulator Ofcom, citing the broadcaster's "inappropriate and/or racist" comments.

But following an investigation into whether the comment contravened broadcast codes based on the Human Rights Act, Ofcom claimed that Sir Trevor's comments were "justified" last night.

"The programme was broadcast a full hour after the 9pm watershed, when more challenging material can sometimes be expected," it said

and argued that the comments were "clearly intended" to parody Manning's own comic style.

**Fair enough, so according to that arguement I can now say that Sir Trevor McDonald you are "A fat black Bastard."
