[Jasmine Lawrence, a channel editor
at BBC News, has been removed
from playing any part in the
corporation's coverage of
the European and local council
elections after tweeting a derogatory comment about UKIP.
Lawrence, who has now shut her
Twitter account, posted a tweet on Wednesday
that said: "#WhyImVotingUkip – to stand up for white,
middle class, middle aged men w sexist/racist views,
totally under represented in politics today."
The tweet was posted the day before
the local and European elections,
which the BBC is covering for the
first time from studios at its Hertfordshire
home in Elstree, following moving
out of Television Centre in West London.]
