I think I remember this video, is he now trying to make out that he was an unbiased interviewer simply presenting the views of the other guy? the original video made it perfectly clear that he was agreeing with the sentiments of the interviewee, thus the message of the video belonged to both of them.

Trying to backtrack and wriggle out of it by branding himself an impartial journalist. Heh.

If people want to shoot their job and dating prospects away, they should be free to do so.

Freedom of speech is more important than worrying about people's feelings being hurt.

God he’s an obnoxious little weasel, why a failed hairdresser has been given such a prominent voice as if he’s got anything of importance to say is beyond me

Being a failure doesn't mean he shouldn't be allowed to speak, if people want to listen

Why not build your own platform and be the version of him who speaks sense?

They just showed the Clip
on GMBHD itv.

Darren is Live on GMBHD itv now
He says he grew up with Starkey
and that got in the way of paying proper attention
to what Dr. Starkey said.

Darren Grimes I find irritating and often extremely so.

However, I don't think this is a police matter really.
Maybe he ought to have engaged a forceful challenge to the comments made.
Maybe best he doesn't do any more interviews with more controversial and as he is, opinionated characters thinking they can be as offensive as they usually are when in private.

It wasn't just a live interview though. He edited it and released the parts of it he wanted people to see. The same Grimes that promised MP's, brexiteers would unleash the 1930's on them if they didn't do what he wanted.

Do you think he understands that the vast majority of people neither know, nor care, who he is... let alone the ins and outs of his career?

He's a hairdresser, not a journalist.
