Bishop Calls For Twitter Picture Explanation


BBC Hereford & Worcester's Michael Collie investigated the club's offensive tweet from yesterday during his show this morning.

The tweet, claiming to depict a 'traditional Islamic' pre match meal has received a backlash of complaint since it appeared during yesterday's game with Droylsden. 

Collie read out dozens of the tweets reacting to the original on air throughout the course of the two hour show - adding that he could not find a single person defending the tweet.

Collie repeatedly told listeners that the station was trying to speak to the club, but failed to get a response, before he spoke to the Bishop of Worcester about the matter. The Bishop commented:

"It sounds to me that some explanation from the club is needed if it has gone out on an official twitter feed. It has clearly caused offence and it would be good for there to be an explanation sooner rather than later."
