@supertanskiii I’d like to tell you this is an extremely rare event. I can’t. Racists do call but my brilliant producers protect me from it. Anna got through to me on air because she played us – making her depressingly soulless AND manipulative.

Crikey. Anna Widnes actually went on public radio, gave her name for all to hear, spouted racist nastiness…then put the phone down so she didn’t have to hear @SangitaMyska ‘s calm and reasoned reply.

Your dignified & calm response speaks volumes about who you are. This vile caller is thankfully in the minority. Keep up the good work.

She did, yes. And sent some pretty vile texts later …

I was confused too; until I realised – eventually – that she’d really only called to tell me to ‘go back home!’. Oh dear. I do pity her.

Thanks @EtanSmallman . She sent some rather awful texts after the call. Had she not done that I’d have called her back. But, it became very clear that she wasn’t after a reasoned conversation…
