Yet the cowardice of Newman, and the rest of her mob of media colleagues, comes in their double standards.

Would Newman demand of the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, (or Sajid Javid, the Communities and Local Government Secretary) to explain whether as a Muslim he regards homosexuality as immoral?

Would Mayor Khan expect to have the Koran quoted at him – “For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds…. And we rained down on them a shower of brimstone.”

Would Newman say: “Mr Khan, as a Muslim do you regard gay sex as a sin or not? Will a shower of brimstone be rained down? Or is what the Koran says just a load of
rubbish?”

Well, that would make for lively television too. But, of course, it’s not going to happen. Newman would be off the air and sent packing to some diversity awareness course, after which she might be allowed to do some local radio late night phone-in programme if her apologies were sufficiently abject.
