Bristol weatherman and TV presenter Alex Beresford has reported racist abuse he received on social media to the police, after Twitter said it didn’t breach the platform’s rules.
The Bristol-born presenter shared and called out one Twitter account, which called him a ‘black ****’, and it was reported to Twitter by friends and supporters.
But after Twitter itself said that tweet hadn’t breached its ‘safety rules’, Mr Beresford decided to report the tweet to the Met Police to investigate.
