The BBC has agreed to reinstate Robert Kilroy-Silk after suspending him for describing Arabs as “suicide bombers, limb amputators and women repressors”.

But he has had to agree to new producer guidelines designed to prevent him causing offence to anyone. This column sat in on his comeback show.

Kiloy: Good morning, everybody. Welcome to the show. Today we’re talking about freedom of speech. My first guest this morning has had a tragic life.

He lost an eye and both hands while on missionary work in Afghanistan and has had to subsist on benefits ever since. Please welcome, from the Finsbury Park mosque, Captain Hook.

(Loud applause).

Kiloy: I know this is difficult for you, so take your time. What would you like to say to us?

Hook: Death to the infidel! Death to the Jews! Death to America! Death to the West!

(Even louder applause.)

Kiloy: You’re clearly very upset and that’s understandable. I know what you must be going through. Did I mention I’m part Irish?

(Audience: Death to the infidel! Death to the Jews! Death to America! Death to the West!)

Kiloy: I feel your pain, I really do. I’ll come back to you later in the show. My next guest is from al-Muhajiroun. What would you like to say to the viewers, sir?

I don't condemn him for saying what he said. He told the truth. Just like that UN study on antisemetism was ignored.

Very funny....sad but true.
