The host clashed with Irfaan Ali, President of Guyana, on the show
Good Morning Britain has been hit with hundreds of Ofcom complaints after its host, Richard Madeley, made comments about slavery. During the show, he clashed with the President of Guyana, Irfaan Ali, who argued that descendants of European slave traders should right historical wrongs by offering to pay reparations.
He went on to bang his fists on the table leading viewers to complain as he added: "You think the British Royal Family should make a big gesture, don't you? Would you like them to give you a Palace?" "You will see the sweat, tears and blood of the slaves who were exploited, and the revenue that was earnt from the exploitation. So we're not asking for a palace; we're asking for justice."
