This.

But admittedly her comments were definitely more outrageous than anything Lineker or Vorderman said, so out of the three scenarios I can understand the BBC punishing this woman more than I ever will with the other two.

I ultimately do still support her right to say what she wants (i.e the anti-Semitism and racism towards white people parts) but she was skirting very close to incitement against Jewish people, so it's very murky for me on what was the right decision to make.

It's basically freedom of speech versus potential incitement.
