Narinder Kaur has hit back at claims the head of the BBC should lose their job because of Bob Vylan's controversial performance at Glastonbury on Saturday. The Rap punk act led a crowd in chants of "Free, free Palestine" and "Death, death to the IDF" (Israel Defence Forces). The duo expressed solidarity with rap act, Kneecap, half an hour before that group's appearance on the West Holts stage.

The footage was shown on the BBC and remained on BBC iPlayer for more than five hours. Now, there are calls for the Director General of the BBC to lose his job. Local police are now investigating whether the pro-Palestinian duo committed a criminal offence. The prime minister has criticised the performance, saying: "There is no excuse for this kind of appalling hate speech." Bob Vylan's controversial performance was a top story on Good Morning Britain, with senior correspondent Jonathan Swaine reporting on the news outside a train station in Castle Cary.

A furious Narinder reshared the Good Morning Britain report, writing: "Disgraceful censorship. Publicly funded corporation - firstly forced to ban Kneecap from being broadcast and now the DG being asked to resign over chants (he had no control over!) about an army killing children.

"You either believe in freedom of speech and it's wrong, kids are being murdered and starved, or you believe we must have censorship to the chant. Choose one and forever keep your silence."

Her comments sparked major backlash, with social media users accusing the Good Morning Britain star of "hypocrisy".

One fumed: "Hypocrisy! Let's call for the death of all Pakistani Rapists...., I would be had up for hate speech! Calling for the death of anyone in public is wrong. Simple!"

A second posted: "Hypocritical post."

Another raged: "Hang on! You put so many tweets out about how Lucy Connolly was right to go to jail! And now the above? That's the problem with the Left! Hypocrites!"

A fourth echoed: "So it isn't hate speech if you agree with what's being said then ... Got it .."

The broadcaster hit back: "Not once have I defended Vylan's words...not once. Again - you either believe in freedom of speech or you believe there is a line. Regardless..this is a publicly funded corporation. Choose."

Narinder supported the imprisonment of Lucy Connolly, the wife of a Conservative councillor. She was sentenced to 31 months in prison after pleading guilty to a charge of inciting racial hatred.
