On Good Morning Britain, Adil Ray (adilray) called out the horrific racism he's suffered on social media following Suella Braverman’s recent comments about British Pakistani men.
On Sunday, the Home Secretary appeared on Sky’s Sophy Ridge on Sunday programme, where she spoke about efforts being made to protect children from sexual abuse., stating: ‘What we’ve seen is a practice whereby vulnerable white English girls – sometimes in care, sometimes who are in challenging circumstances – being pursued and raped and drugged and harmed by gangs of British Pakistani men who’ve worked in child abuse rings or networks.
‘We’ve seen institutions and state agencies, whether it’s social workers, teachers, the police, turn a blind eye to these signs of abuse out of political correctness, out of fear of being called racist, out of fear of being called bigoted.’ On Thursday’s Good Morning Britain, Ray – who was born to a Kenyan mother and Pakistani father – revealed the real impact the remarks have made on his life.
Bringing up Ms Braverman’s comments, the 48-year-old said: ‘We heard comments about the community that I belong to, the British Pakistani community. There is something really, I think, that needs to be really looked at in this country right now, that we are divided.
Ray’s co-host, Kate Garraway, 55, added that the racism her colleague has experienced has been ‘unsettling and unheard of’ for him on social media in recent days.
