BBC news anchor and Mastermind presenter Clive Myrie reminded a Hay Festival audience about the “scary moment” that he received death threats from a far-right extremist.
He recalled how the man, from Yorkshire, began his menacing campaign after he had filmed a report about gun violence in America in which the presenter described himself as “an Englishman”. Myrie, who was born in Bolton to Windrush parents from Jamaica, said that the incident, in 2017, was a reminder of the lengths to which some people might go with race hatred.
