But, yeah, I suppose I started voicing my concerns about various things on social media, and it went from there, really.

But I just...

Sometimes if I see something where I think there's a dreadful wrong going on, I just feel the need to speak up about it.

And I understand why some people don't because it can make your life very difficult.

But for me, the only person you can control really is yourself.

Yeah.

You know, if you go home at the end of the day and look yourself in the mirror and you think, okay, I did the right thing today.

It probably doesn't make any difference to anybody, but you've got to live with yourself.

Yeah.

I mean, I've had a few incidents over my career with BBC because they have this partiality rules that actually didn't apply to people outside of news and current affairs.

But then they moved the goalposts and made it true for everyone.

But I'd also got into the habit thing.

So I'd had a couple of fallouts with them prior.

And I always felt I was in the right on those.

But the last one that...

that kind of made my decision to leave the BBC a little bit earlier, was that genuinely concerned because that was, you know, absolutely an honest error.

You know, I was posting something and there was a little tiny,

rat emoji on the post, which I genuinely didn't see.

I mean, I am stupid, but I'm not that stupid enough to have posted that deliberately.

And, you know, I was made aware that it's apparently some kind of antisemitic trope.
