To put it into perspective the Main Hosts team will look like this:
Richard Madeley - White
Susanna Reid - White
Ben Shephard - White
Kate Garraway - White.
Not a single BAME person will be on the main presenting team.
Find an equally good BAME presenter as the non-BAME names being thrown in the mix (that fit the show format preferably), then come back with that argument. Can't really say that and not point out BAME presenters that could fill the post...
Adil Ray; currently being panned universally online, and seems to drop in an accent/stereotype reference on the regular (MEGA annoying for me, speaking as a BAME person);
Ranvir Singh; seems to enjoy her edgy Political Editor post (but would be a good co-host, with a little refinement on her talking over people);
Sean Fletcher; far too weak to be co-host;
Andi Peters; sure...he could work, and be popular with the viewers too, but could be complex with his role in the competition production company. Not sure how he'd handle breaking news, certainly better than;
Alex Beresford; Crap interviewer and basically whatever the male equivalent of an "auto-cutie" is, can't do much else - dread the day news breaks on his watch. Fairly experienced forecaster, however.
That exhausts the extended family...
