Tourette's sufferer says N-word live on air at the BAFTAs

The BBC has sparked a major backlash over its BAFTAs coverage after editing out 'Free Palestine' during one speech while keeping in a racial slur in another. BAFTAs host Alan Cumming was forced to apologise to viewers after Tourette's activist John Davidson was heard yelling the N-word during a presentation by black actors Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo. Davidson was heard making several involuntary outbursts during the awards ceremony. While Jordan and Lindo didn't react to the N-word slur, Cumming later apologised for the offensive language. Despite there being a two-hour time delay on the BBC's coverage, the racial slur was aired to millions tuning in from home. In contrast, the BBC edited out 'Free Palestine' from an acceptance speech made by filmmaker Akinola Davies Jr. after My Father's Shadow won the BAFTA for outstanding British debut.
