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:

Mike Graham is the stupidest man who ever dribbled into a microphone

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:

Mike Graham has now deleted his racist Facebook post but he also said on air “this bloke Ayoub Khan, whoever he is, should go back to Pakistan” pic.twitter.com/NGkty5QHYz

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:

Facebook is full of holes.

Last time I went into its Privacy Settings it had totally redrawn the lines of what was visible.

They keep changing the terms to get their hands on our data, and algos can collect info you *think* is hidden.

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:

How did these hackers manage to share a slightly different picture to the one you’d shared yourself Mike? Almost makes it look like you weren’t actually hacked? pic.twitter.com/30QBJaBSS3

— Adam Bienkov (@AdamBienkov) October 21, 2025


Mukhtar pointed out the same thing:

Mike Graham’s “My Facebook was hacked” story is falling part.

Apparently, he posted the same picture of Churchill on Twitter, but one was taken seconds later.

Did the hacker have his phone?

We need concrete evidence. pic.twitter.com/MOFk7otxeW

— Mukhtar (@I_amMukhtar) October 21, 2025

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

i don’t think he should be sacked. the cover-up (which it appears to be) is worse than his own opinion.

he should make apology for this alone and offer to do community service at temple or such like.

his innocence hinges on providing a similar email like the ebay one. pic.twitter.com/36HHTnbHLv

Several people simply mocked Graham:

I hear Mike Graham has some other job offers knocking around.

Nothing concrete mind.

— Lord Protector Will Wartsandall (@LewensWill) October 22, 2025

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:

“Inappropriate”? I think the word you’re looking for is racist?

If you’re going to apologise, don’t do it mealy-mouthed. Go and educate yourself.

And your employer, the Daily Express, could start by actually apologising and providing you with some anti-racism training. https://t.co/KGiUcp3ZgE

Iain Dale, meanwhile, also went after Ayoub Khan:

The ‘something’ folks. https://t.co/xm3cBGWJ5i pic.twitter.com/jVxyvhXlI8

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?
