Sir Lenny Henry says ‘screw you white people’ in jokey dig at MP David Lammy’s ‘white saviour’ row with Stacey Dooley
Stacey Dooley's caption has been slammed with TV presenter Trisha Goddard comparing it to how the Kardashians talk about shoes
And Sir Lenny, who has been involved since the charity was set up in 1985, made a joke aimed at Mr Lammy and said: “Screw you, white people.”Mr Lammy previously accused Stacey of “perpetuating colonialism” and the pair’s Twitter spat went viral. Lammy, who is of Guyanese descent, replied: "Comic Relief has a huge platform and privilege and it is the first and major way children learn about Africa.
"Many black Brits feel deeply uncomfortable with Comic Relief's poverty porn. It's my job to represent their views however uncomfortable. Images of Stacey cuddling one of the children prompted fans to urge the star to meet up with the activist group No White Saviors, who criticise the white saviour complex, during her time in the country.ExclusiveAdam Johnson's £2million mansion as he swaps prison for seven-bed palaceBreakingSoldier mocks man who reported him for using disabled parking space
