A racist caller told a radio presenter to "do us a favour and shut up" about the provision of free school meals in the UK because she was born abroad. BBC journalist Sangita Myska, who hosts shows every weekend on phone-in and talk radio station LBC, was subjected to the xenophobic rant live on air on Sunday, August 28.
Myska, who was born in Tazania in east Africa and is of Indian heritage, moved to the UK as a child. She is an advocate for free school meals, but the caller insisted she and, bizarrely, footballer Marcus Rashford - who was born in Manchester and has campaigned to eradicate food poverty - had no right to speak about such issues in the UK.
Known only as "Anna" from Widnes, the caller started off her tirade by saying she wasn't going to agree with the presenter. She continued: "I come from a family of ten kids, and my mother worked 12-hour nights at the power station in the canteen. My dad died when we were younger.
