TalkTV suspends Mike Graham who blames racist post on ‘hack’

TalkTV host Michael Graham is famous for insisting you can ‘grow’ concrete. We’re sure he doesn’t want that to be his legacy, and there’s good news for him on that front. Said news is that going forwards, he may be more famous for how he came to be an ex-TalkTV host:

“Just fuck off”

As noted above, Graham is the infamous radio dope who tried to win an argument with an environmentalist by insisting you can grow concrete:

To be fair to him, we wouldn’t say he’s the “stupidest” radio host. In reality, he’s in joint last place with every other TalkTV and LBC presenter.

On Sunday 19 October, the following post appeared on Graham’s Facebook account:

Post reads: 'Compare and contrast. Tell me we're not fucked by multicultural bollocks. Why are we surrounded by non-white people? Just fuck off...'

Graham would later claim he was “hacked“:

On Sunday night my Facebook was accessed and a vile message was posted on my page without my knowledge. It contained words that I would never write and an opinion I don’t share. As soon as I found out I immediately deleted the post and have taken steps to ensure my cyber security is enhanced. Obviously I am mortified that such a post could have gone out in my name and am now attempting to find out how it could have happened. I am equally very sorry for any distress it has caused to anyone.

“An opinion I don’t share”, is it? Funny that, seeing as he said this last week:

We’re old enough to remember when ‘go back to where you came from’ was considered racist; now it’s just banter?

Since his apology, Graham has retweeted several supportive messages:


While it’s not out of the question that Graham was ‘hacked’, if it did happen, it was because his password was ‘Gammon123’.

Speaking further on the ‘hack’, journalist Adam Bienkov noticed something suspicious:


Mukhtar pointed out the same thing:

Others noted that if Graham was ‘hacked’, he can probably confirm it:


Several people simply mocked Graham:

While it’s proven you can’t grow concrete, you can definitely cultivate a shitty personality, and Mike Graham’s brain is a wasteland.

Twitter psychosis

As we reported, Graham isn’t the only right winger who’s had to apologise for his social media activity. The Express’s Christian Calgie had to row back comments about deporting Zarah Sultana:

Iain Dale, meanwhile, also went after Ayoub Khan:

Since Elon Musk bought Twitter, you can basically say anything. Now the people with the worst things to say spend all day marinating in their own bigotry. Hearing their grimmest thoughts repeated back to them, they think they’ve gone mainstream, when actually they’re a loud minority on an increasingly fringe website.

To be fair, as of this moment, Reform is having a lot of success on a platform that’s a hair’s breadth away from Mike Graham’s ‘hacked’ post. The question is will the public keep up with this racist drift, or will the British right be so weird and angry by 2029 that they become unelectable?
