I said I didn't put it there.
They said, well, you're going to have to prove it that you didn't put it there, because we've got a complaint from inside the building, effectively, from somebody at TalkSport who tweeted out that I was a racist, effectively, or that I'd said something racist.
And that sort of began a whole chain of events which went on for about a month, during which time I tried to prove to them I hadn't done it, which they weren't satisfied with.
They wanted to see my phone, they wanted to investigate my phone, they wanted to investigate my iPad.
I decided it might not be the greatest idea to give my phone to
a company that's been known to hack phones with the hope that they wouldn't look at bits of my phone that I didn't want to see, which was not anything to do with my personal life, but was everything to do with my work life, everything to do with people I had conversations with.
I mean, so it became a kind of a fight between two sets of lawyers in the end, which in which which never goes well, whether it's a divorce or whether it goes well for the lawyers, goes well for the lawyers.
They did very well out of it.
I can tell you still paying them off.
It was a bit of a racist comment.
It was basically a picture of some people on a tube train, which I didn't take, and another picture which I had taken, which looked like it had been somehow doctored and put on the same Facebook post.
It also went on Instagram because my Facebook and my Instagram were linked.
And it was all about, you know, why there's so many non-white people on the tube.
Words to that effect, you know.
And, you know, a couple of swear words.
And it was pretty offensive.
But you didn't post it.
But I didn't post it.
And I was made aware of it on the morning of Monday the 20th, I think, of October.
And I looked at it and I thought, Christ, I don't know what that is.
