GB News host Patrick Christys has called it "laughable" that police ignored a direct death threat against him - but investigated a racially-charged threat.
In an interview with GB News, Patrick described receiving two threats, with authorities only taking action when his race was mentioned.
The revelation comes as the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) recently concluded that Essex Police "acted reasonably" during their investigation of Telegraph journalist Allison Pearson over a social media post.
Pearson had claimed she felt "bullied and threatened" when officers visited her home on Remembrance Sunday in November 2024.

Speaking to GB News, Patrick said: "I mean, it's not really funny, but I suppose in a way it is quite laughable.
"Someone sent me just a straightforward, garden-variety death threat. It said, 'I am going to kill you.'

"So, I reported it to the police. Nothing. Then, about two or three weeks later, someone else sent me a veiled death threat.
"But this time, they happened to say, 'Karma is on its way, you stupid white so-and-so.' And because they'd used my race, the police cared about that.
"They cared about that one, not the one where the guy had actually directly threatened to kill me.
"I just find that interesting, don't you?"
Pearson felt "very angry" that the case against had been dropped.
GETTYAccording to Patrick, Pearson felt "very angry" that the case against had been dropped.
He explained: "I actually spoke to Alison Pearson on the phone earlier, and to say she's angry about this would be an understatement.
"She is planning on taking this all the way. She's going to appeal all of that stuff."
Mark Hobrough, the NPCC's hate crime lead and chief constable of Gwent, found that Essex Police "acted reasonably" in their investigation.
The report stated that body-worn camera footage showed the investigating officer's approach to Pearson was "polite and carried out in an exemplary manner".
Essex Police had defended their investigation, which was later dropped, into allegations that Pearson's social media post about the Hamas-Israel conflict incited racial hatred.
Pearson's now-deleted post from 16 November 2023 showed an image of two police officers standing next to men holding what appeared to be a Pakistani political party flag.
She tagged the Metropolitan Police with the words "how dare they?".
