Residents of one of Wales’s most deprived areas tell BBC host stigma remains from 1991 disturbances
The BBC sports presenter Jason Mohammad has voiced anger at a lack of government help for the Ely estate in Cardiff where he grew up, 30 years after the so-called “bread riots” erupted in the area.
Mohammed, who fronts the broadcaster’s Olympics, football and rugby coverage, has used a documentary, Ely, the Riot and Me, about the impact of the 1991 riots to warn of a lack of progress for people in one of the biggest estates in Europe since he was a 17-year old watching from the fringes of the disturbances.
