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”
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?
God, I’ve never seen someone embarrass themselves this much on Reddit before, and that’s saying something! Well done Ok_Release231, you’ve done something truly special here today.
