Eamonn Holmes furiously shouted ‘Don’t lecture me – give me a break!’ at a guest as he led a Union Jack flag debate on Tuesday’s GB News.
Royal broadcaster and historian Rafe Heydel-Mankoo joined the show alongside anti-racism activist Imarn Ayton to debate whether the Union Jack flag is too divisive.
The debate began as Eamonn discussed the recent news that a village in Norfolk feels divided over whether to fly the Union Jack flag, with fears it will ‘scare people away’.
The debate erupted after Imarn said the British people should reconsider flying the Union Jack flag because she claims it has ‘associations with the far-right’.
As Eamonn halted their heated and controversial discussion, he ended the segment with his personal opinion after he grew up on Northern Ireland – which sparked Imarn to furiously hit back.

The debate began as Eamonn discussed the recent news that a village in Norfolk feels divided over whether to fly the Union Jack flag, with fears it will ‘scare people away’
Eamonn said: ‘Running a flag outside a village hall in Norfolk, you sort of think what’s the big deal.’
Imarn furiously hit back: ‘Be considerate. No, be considerate guys. I know you’ve finished your segment but Eamonn I’m not going to let you finish with that one.

‘Be considerate of other people’s beliefs and views. If you are considerate and sympathetic of everyone and how we perceive the world, you might find yourself leading with equality. Just so you know, I’ll finish it there.’
Eamonn said: ‘Let me just tell you something. You don’t have to lecture me. I sit in the middle, trying to see both sides of things…’
Imarn interjected: ‘Well, I have too.’
Eamonn shouted: ‘I grew up in a country…’, before Imarn interrupted again: ‘You should have finished with mine [opinion] but you finished with Rafe’s [opinion]’.
Host Eamonn assured: ‘I finished with everyone. I’m trying to say you did not grow up in Northern Ireland, where a flag represented something political and anti to a certain religion in northern Ireland, I did.’
Imarn said: ‘And just like with black people, you are not black sir and I understand racism more than you.

‘Someone should have turned her mic off’,
‘Surely under the current rules this woman constantly crosses the line into stirring up hatred?’,
