Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
So what happened, mate?
Chapter 2: What happened with Mike at Talk TV?
They didn't like something that appeared on my Facebook page.
Do you know what happened with that Facebook post?
I really don't. I said I didn't put it there, and they wanted to investigate my phone. I decided it might not be the greatest idea to give my phone to a company that's been known to hack phones. They wanted access to bits of my phone that I didn't think I should be able to look at. As soon as I started talking to lawyers, they were like, don't give him your phone under any circumstances.
I speak to people who are moving out of London now because London to them has become unrecognizable. It's different because it is now full of people from somewhere else. And it didn't used to be.
Chapter 3: Why do media outlets damage their own businesses?
And the difference for me with New York and London was that all of the immigration in New York was people who wanted to be American. In London and in other parts of Britain, we've got these communities which are not British and they don't want to be British. It's hard not to notice it.

Mike Graham, welcome back to Trigonomics.
Chapter 6: What concerns are normal people feeling today?
Good day. I think this is my third time, isn't it? It is your third time. And you are now a fellow YouTuber. I am.
Chapter 7: How is the current political landscape moving in one direction?
Courtesy of some events. Yes, indeed. So what happened, mate?
Very proud. Well, apparently I wasn't fired. My lawyers tell me I was not fired. I was simply not taken back. I was never suspended either, according to News UK. But basically, they didn't like something that appeared on my Facebook page. 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.

Chapter 8: What are the implications of high immigration levels?
So just to get back to this thing about something was posted on your Facebook thing, which was a bit of a racist comment.
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. So I just deleted it. So it wasn't even really there for very long.
And then I got a call after I'd finished my show. Went home, got a call from my boss saying, you know, there's been a complaint about this Twitter post. Do you know anything about it? And I said, well, I saw it this morning, but to be honest, I was doing my show right in the middle of when I was told that it was there. And I just got rid of it. And I didn't even see when it was posted.
I didn't really investigate it. But what I can do is show you that it wasn't anywhere in my log. that my log proves that I didn't post it. I haven't got the picture in my cache of pictures, which I showed them when I was called into a meeting. I showed the head of HR and I showed my immediate boss that part of my phone. But then they wanted to go further.
And as soon as I started talking to cybersecurity people, And as soon as I started talking to lawyers, they were like, don't give them your phone under any circumstances. That's not, I don't, you don't work for them. You know, I'm an individual contractor. I'm not on their staff. They didn't pay me a pension. They didn't pay me for being off sick. I was a contractor.
They said, you're under no obligation to do that. And they were asking eventually for access to my WhatsApp messages, for my emails. They wanted access to bits of my phone that I didn't think I should be able to look at. And I thought to myself, they're going to hold all of this information. They're going to basically mirror the whole phone, forensically examine it.
And they will be able to look at that. no matter what they say to me.
There's plenty of that stuff on there to get you fired anyway, I imagine.
