The BBC has come under fire after one of its comedy shows hosted a writer who has shared antisemitic conspiracy theories, billing him as a “left-wing journalist”.
Steve Topple, who writes for left-wing website the Canary, appeared on the most recent episode of the BBC’s the Mash Report, a satirical current affairs show, in a segment on the divide between the left and the right.
In 2015, Mr Topple tweeted that “maybe most Jews peaceful, but until they recognize and destroy their growing Zionist cancer they must be held responsible.”
