BBC News - MP David Lammy apologises for BBC Pope race 'innuendo' claim

'A Labour MP has apologised for claiming the BBC made a "silly innuendo about the race" of the next Pontiff.

David Lammy was commenting on a BBC Twitter message, which asked "will smoke be black or white?".

Mr Lammy, tweeting from the Commons chamber, said the BBC message was "crass and unnecessary".
He later apologised after Twitter users pointed out the role played by black and white smoke in announcing the election of a new Pope.'
