The BBC is facing a fresh controversy after a rap artist performed a track on a popular Radio 1 show which contained an attack on Zionists.

Lowkey - who is a patron of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign - ranted against "zombies and Zionists" during his live appearance on the station's Charlie Sloth show on Saturday night.

After performing his "freestyle" 15-minute rap on the show, Mr Sloth hailed the content of the song, saying: "I feel like I've just been to university for five years".

Lowkey's reference to "zombies and Zionists" came in lyrics which attacked an alleged powerful elite of "neo-cons".
