BEST MOMENTS

"I think for the last six months of working at Sky, I felt a bit uncomfortable working there, frankly, given what the news channel was pumping out the whole time, with the propaganda."

"I ignored lockdown rules. I saw my family because I saw the rules. The government ignored lockdown rules, didn't they?"

"I think had Labour been in it, it would have probably been even longer lockdowns, quite frankly, from what I've seen."

"Shit happens. Just get on with it."

"I'm not arrogant enough to think that everything I say is, is true. It's what I believe. Is happening at the moment but if somebody could point me to some evidence that I'm wrong and I will actually look at that evidence."

0:00.0	Why do you think you lost your job at Sky after nearly 20 years?
0:06.0	I think it was probably a combination of a couple of things.
0:09.0	I think the direction that the company were going in in terms of diversity and that kind of
0:16.7	stuff was probably one of the reasons. I don't think I've made myself particularly popular with my stance on not wearing a
0:27.2	Black Lives Matter badge on the television and also for my social media post questioning the the ridiculousness of
0:37.2	lockdowns. So why didn't you wear a Black Lives Matters badge? I didn't feel comfortable.
0:43.7	I actually did wear it for one show because we were told we had to pretty much had to wear
0:49.5	it otherwise you know it wouldn't be very good for us if we didn't and we were told that
0:56.0	about a minute before we were due to go on here so we don't have a lot of time to
0:59.3	think about it or or discuss it so we actually did wear it for one program. But I previously the last
1:05.8	but a couple of weeks before that I'd been looking into the Black Lives Matter
1:08.8	organization and I wasn't particularly enamored with what I saw and I didn't agree with what they stood for.
1:15.0	So I felt very uncomfortable wearing that badge and so I made my point clear to the producer after that show that that would be the last time that I would wear it.
1:27.4	I would be prepared to wear any other anti-racism badge and I don't think that probably went down too well with the with the big bosses and I don't
1:41.8	think that the fact that I was going against the mainstream narrative probably did me any favors either.
1:48.8	I was talking to Nigel Farage a few weeks ago and he told me some stuff about Black Lives Matter that I didn't
1:54.6	understand about how it was run and what it was about so what is it about it
1:59.6	that you don't like? I think it was the whole defunding the police side of things didn't sit
2:07.0	comfortably with me. I'd heard reports that perhaps the funding wasn't going into the places where it was meant
2:14.9	to be going and I think since since that time stuff has come out about where the
2:20.5	money has been spent from the people who run the organization.
2:24.2	And I just didn't feel comfortable with it.
