Following the news that the presenter Sue Barker and team captains Matt Dawson and Phil Tufnell are being axed from A Question Of Sport, there is much speculation online that their replacements will be “people of colour”...though admittedly that is yet to be confirmed.

The BBC recently committed £100 million to increasing diversity. Watch that space.

Lets save our anger for things that do happen- there are plenty of them.

You mean indirectly the tax payer (licence is a tax) has channelled 100K to 'diversity'?
