A police chief candidate who made comments about migrants and women that were branded racist and sexist has insisted he will not stand aside.
He insisted his comments, made in response to what action he would like to see in the county to help protect women after the murder of Sarah Everard, were not racist or sexist and the people accusing him did not “understand the realities”.
Mr Moreland, who has served in both the Army and Metropolitan Police, reiterated that he had a Muslim sister-in-law and grew up and served with West Indian people.
