The discussion, during which anti-racism activist Imarn Ayton clashed with farmer Gareth Wyn Jones, became increasingly tense. Imarn abruptly left the studio when host Stephen Dixon attempted to calm the situation, stating that the channel likes to listen to other people. She expressed her dissatisfaction, stating that she would not allow Gareth to speak on behalf of the whole channel. Prior to the altercation, Imarn had been expressing her opinions while Gareth spoke on-air.
Imarn emphasized that Gareth’s perspective as a white man did not allow him to speak on behalf of the lived experiences of black people. Gareth tried to interject, but Imarn repeatedly cut him off, leading to an apology from her. Throughout the debate, the hosts looked surprised as the guests sparred over the issue of racism in the countryside. Ultimately, the heated discussion ended with Imarn leaving the studio on a contentious note.
