Didn't know where to post this, so have popped it in its own thread.

Quote:
A BBC presenter threatened to eject a panellist live on-air after he attempted to protest about the lack of media coverage of violence against Sikhs in the Punjab.

Appearing on Sunday Morning Live, Jagmeet Singh, from the educational charity Basics of Sikhi, stood up in front of the camera and interrupted presenter Sian Williams.

Mr Singh said: “I have to say Sikhs are being killed in Punjab and nobody is reporting it. Please report it.”

Not exactly as disruptive as that famous episode of The Time The Place, where there was a 'fracas' which resulted in the programme going off air.
