Mike Grahams TalkTV future on knife edge as bosses set | UK News

Mike Graham’s future as a presenter on TalkTV is said to be balanced on a “knife edge” as bosses at the channel are set to make a resolution. The host took a step back from presenting duties after a controversial Facebook post, which confirmed a image of a Churchill statue next to one of a crowded Tube carriage.

The post – which has since been deleted – included the caption: “Tell me we’re not f***ed by multicultural b****cks. Why are we surrounded by non-white people? Just f*** off.” However, Mike claimed his Facebook was hacked and he didn’t create the “vile message”, which he said was “posted without my knowledge”.

Now a TalkTV source has told Daily Express that the choice on whether or not Mike will probably be allowed to return to work will “come in a few days”. He is reportedly “expected to be axed” but “might go and start his own” project away from the channel.

A source also told us that the debacle has sparked a “civil war” between TalkSPORT and TalkTV, claiming the post was the “final straw” for exhausted TalkSPORT staff.

They said: “It’s like civil war has broken out on the shop floor.

“What the public don’t understand is that TalkSPORT and Talk Radio are very different channels in the same building on the same floor. At SPORT we have people of all different colours working alongside each other peacefully. We’re one big happy team and the bosses at News UK know that.

“But at Talk Radio their agenda and output is highly charged to make migrants and minorities feel like the enemy. The fact that Mike Graham can post some of the trash he does normally and nobody in senior management has told him off before is a disgrace, but his Facebook post is the final straw.

“None of us at TalkSPORT want to work with him. Why would we wanna work with a man who says the things he says? In order for the Talk Radio presenters to get to their studio they have to walk through the TalkSPORT section of the office and we don’t want him there anymore.”
