| Description | An aide to London Mayor Boris Johnson has resigned after making a comment to a reporter which sparked a race row.
Responding to a claim that some black people might leave the UK if Mr Johnson became mayor, James McGrath said: "Let them go if they don't like it here."
Mr McGrath said his remark to a journalist from the-latest.com website had been taken out of context.
Mr Johnson said he knew Mr McGrath was "not a racist", but the remarks made it "impossible" for him to keep his job.
