That was refreshingly uncensored. They called out Israel's genocide, called for Palestine to be free, and advocated for a workers' revolution too. The BBC would have been in a total panic to get them off the screen. More likely it wouldn't have let them on in the first place, or it would be one of those aggressive interviews where the interviewer willfully misrepresents their views then talks over the top of them.
