🔴 Meghan Markle's life was at risk from disgusting and very real threats during her time living in Britain, says senior Met officer ➡️ The UK’s most senior police officer of colour also shared his personal experience of racism
Meghan Markle’s life was at risk from ‘disgusting and very real’ threats, says senior Met Police officer
In his first interview hours before leaving the Metropolitan Police after 30 years, he also shared his personal experience of racism and how his views on the issue could have cost him the top job in policing. He applied to become head of the Met Police but that position went to now-commissioner Mark Rowley.
When journalist Cathy Newman from Channel 4 News asked if there were credible threats against the Duchess of Sussex’s life, Mr Basu replied: “Absolutely, and if you’d seen the stuff that was written and you were receiving it… the kind of rhetoric that’s online, if you don’t know what I know, you would feel under threat all of the time.”
He added: “It is unbelievable to hear a succession of very powerful politicians who look like this talking in language that my father would have remembered from the 1968. It’s horrific.”
