Lord Sugar has apologised after being accused of racism in a tweet in which he compared a picture of Senegal's World Cup Squad to beach sellers in Spain. The businessman and host of BBC's The Apprentice later deleted the post but the tweet prompted a storm of criticism online with many calling for the BBC to fire him. Lord Sugar later apologised and tweeted - "It was in no way intended to cause offence, and clearly my attempt at humour has backfired." Stephen got reaction from commentators Phil Kelly and Lembit Opik.
