Clive Myrie reflects on his career in the media and how he hopes to be an example to others.
Journalist Clive Myrie fronts BBC News shows, reports from war zones, asks the questions on Mastermind and will be one of the key presenters for July's General Election coverage.
Myrie said he was inspired to write his latest book after the outbreak of war in Ukraine, when his Russian camera operator said the two country's relationship was akin to that between the English and Irish in the 17th Century."A sense they are only good for cleaning and mopping up and doing menial jobs... that they're, in lots of ways, sub-human."
"That dynamic of 'no blacks, no dogs, no Irish', all that kind of stuff - that's the Britain they arrived into." "I remember being in the Radio Bristol newsroom, at three in the morning, still cutting a package, because I wanted it to sound the best it could be on the breakfast show." He later returned to BBC Points West after a stint at Independent Radio Network , as well as doing weekend shifts in London.
