00:00 What I did say was, you know,
00:02 I wouldn't shag that and all that sort of stuff,
00:04 which is not right.
00:06 And it's demeaning to her, to Avis,
00:11 I'm sorry for demeaning you in that way,
00:14 however angry I am with you still for doing that.
00:17 And it demeans me because it's not representative
00:21 of who I am.
00:23 And also I'd like to add that I'm not saying
00:24 any of this stuff 'cause I know I'm gonna get sacked tomorrow.
00:26 I'm saying this stuff to clear my own conscience.
00:29 I do think that what's happened
00:31 is that a narrative has been spun
00:34 and a scapegoat has been found, which is me.
00:36 And I don't think that that's been particularly fair.
00:39 I said to Dan, quite clearly, I said,
00:41 look, if they sack you without any, you know,
00:46 actual police involvement,
00:49 just on the back of some complaints which are unfounded
00:52 and the presumption of innocence isn't maintained
00:55 along with the right to express free speech,
00:58 then I will walk out in solidarity with you.
01:00 So when I read his response,
01:04 throwing me under the bus,
01:06 which has been quite a standard feature
01:10 from Juvie News presenters,
01:12 I decided that it was important
01:15 that people have the context of that
01:17 because one shouldn't behave in that way.
01:22 I don't do disloyalty and I don't do cowardice.
01:25 It's just not what I do.
01:26 And I believe 100% in integrity,
01:30 which is why I'm stumbling through this sort of apology.
01:34 I'm 99.999% sure they are going to do
01:37 is sack us both tomorrow,
01:38 or certainly I think they'll sack me,
01:40 is they're opening themselves up to that mob,
01:45 that cancellation mob.
