Met Police's first Black police officer 'called the N word on his first day'

The Metropolitan Police's first Black officer appeared on This Morning to discuss his experiences in the force.

Alison and Dermot welcomed Norwell Roberts to today's show to discuss the abuse and trials he faced. During his time at the Met, Mr Roberts said the majority of racial abuse he faced was from inside the institution.

Mr Roberts noted he discovered he had obtained the job through the Telegraph newspaper, with a story bearing the headline 'London going to have their first coloured policeman.' Both Alison and Dermot sighed in disgust at the revelation.
