So Should Naga Be Fired?

[DTCwordfan]

Naga Munchetty is in trouble (again) from the BBC tin-hat execs for a sneering attitude shown to Robert Jenrick for displaying a Union Jack in his office, as if he was an American senator or congressman. Her Twitter doesn't help her case - 'The flag shaggers will be up in arms'

Certainly not the Beeb at its Breakfast best, the banter done with Charlie Stayt..... Views on this please.

Interesting you lead with Naga when in that clip it was Charlie who started the chat topic.

Couldn't read it all because a 'subscribe' ad came up and there was no way to click it off. It covered most of the report, but what on earth does she mean by 'flag shaggers' ? Silly woman ..

[DTCwordfan]

she's the one in hotter water, Mamya, what with the tweet

[Bobbisox1]

No, she's entitled to an opinion albeit a rather daft one, I can't see what's wrong about displaying a flag , they're on nearly every house and building in America , why are we so reticent to display ours?

[ichkeria]

Yes, it was Charlie Stayt who made a passing joke about the size of the mininster's ... flag.
If you can't prick the pomposity of a failing govt minister then what can you do :-)
Then Munchetty stupidly got involved in the usual social media nonsense surrounding it.

[burlyshirley]

Because of comments by people like her maybe Bobbs ?

[Ken4155]

She didn't post that tweet, DTC, she 'liked' it.

[DTCwordfan]

It's all rather stupid in my view....a bit of banter perhaps gone OTT a tad but still it's that, banter.

[DTCwordfan]

ok, apologies, Ken.

[teacake44]

A flag on nearly every house and building in America? WOW that's a lot of flags. Do they generate electricity on a windy day?

[Ken4155]

Seeing as how most are pictured with rows of books behind them, does anyone know if the flag and the portrait are Jenrick's usual background scenery. Or could it be he's having his little dig and H&M?

[Lie-in King]

Should she be fired? No.

[burlyshirley]

Oh and to answer the OP, I couldn't care less if she gets fired or not. Never watch her.

[Ken4155]

By the way, DTC, i agree that it's nothing more than a little banter. Jenrick is so far up his own exit, he needs the urine extracting now and then. All in the best possible taste, of course :-))

[Bobbisox1]

Teacake you're about as unfunny as you're nemesis , in fact you should think about changing your name to Whistlers Mother :0)

[Paigntonian]

Bobb: She's not there to give her opinions.

[SunnyOutlook]

If anyone needs firing it's Jenrick. The Culture Secretary appears to be displaying the Uniion Flag upsidedown. On the plus side, he appears to have the picture of the Queen the right way up.

Stopped watching Nagga years ago,can’t abide her voice. Of course she won’t get sacked as she ticks all the boxes, and of course criticism can be twisted into racism in a heartbeat, just look at Markle.

‘ her Twitter ‘ wrong,,,

//in fact you should think about changing your name to Whistlers Mother//

Or perhaps "Mother's Whistler"
