Kate Garraway and Ed Balls brutally slammed by Good Morning Britain viewers for 'disgusting' Olympics joke - fuming 'get your priorities straight!'


During Tuesday's episode of the ITV show, Kate and Ed took a brief break from discussing the riots to make a light-hearted joke about the Olympics.

It comes after Cabinet ministers blamed social media for allowing hate and fake news to be spread, leading to violent riots by the far-Right that have seen migrant hotels and mosques attacked in the wake of the Southport stabbings a week ago. Last night hundreds of far-Right activists and anti-racist protesters came face-to-face in Plymouth, where beer bottles, flares and a crutch were flung through the air, leaving police officers injured. And in Birmingham a Sky News van was attacked by a knife-wielding man after members of the Muslim community gathered amid claims far-Right groups would target the Small Heath area.
