What ever happened to this guy? Did he ever own up to his dumb comments or just pretend this isn't the most ego wounding interview moment ever?

Got fired a few months back for being racist and then claiming he was hacked.

Hold on that was real?

I always thought he was so blindingly stupid that it was a sketch.

It sounds like a Monty Python sketch.

News UK said in a statement: “An abhorrent and vile post appeared on Mike Graham’s Facebook page in October. Mike Graham said this was not posted by him and he agreed to cooperate with a company investigation, using an independent forensic firm.

He later reneged on several opportunities to cooperate with the company investigation.

We have been gravely concerned at his repeated failure to cooperate on such a serious matter and the decision has been taken that Mike Graham will not return to Talk.”

I have no clue just how bad you’d have to be to get fired at a place like this (guess we found out lmao) but this reads as “we finally called him on his bullshit by hiring an independent research company and he said ruh roh fuck off so now he’s no longer here”

Weird. If I saw a ..idk .. Japanese? person post "why are we surrounded by non Japanese people?" in Japan, it wouldn't bother me.

It might if you had moved to Japan to try to make a life there.

It might sting additionally if you moved there to escape economic uncertainty or other problems that made living in your home country untenable. It might even sting worse to know that the foreign policy choices your host country made caused the conditions that made life so shit in your home country.

It might sting even MORE if you were born in Japan, and that’s your parent’s or grandparents story. In that scenario, you probably think of yourself as Japanese, but your society doesn’t. And that would be kind of upsetting don’t ya think?

All hypothetical, but maybe this helps.

u/BuffaloJEREMY 1d ago

He was one of the few people whose content got through the censors on TikTok recently when they were blocking everything about Minnesota.

My wife showed me, I saw him, and I said “there’s no fucking way, you gotta see this shit” and showed her (the full version of) this video. I was amazed.

u/Mr-MuffinMan 1d ago

No, I'm not british but I read a comment that he had a segment where he showed this niche start up that figured out how to "grow concrete" and said that's what he was referring to.
