5. Apparently he'd already taken voluntary redundancy from them

Mr Smith is understood to have accepted a redundancy package along with 65 of his fellow employees, and is due to leave at the end of next week.

He could now find himself without a payout after his rant forced Trinity Mirror, the parent company of the Birmingham Mail, to deny plagiarism.

In a follow-up video also posted on YouTube, a distinctly more sober Mr Smith tried to explain his actions. "I was off duty, I am on official holiday working at the South Beach Miami Barack Obama campaign where I had just done an 18-hour shift trying to make the world a better place. Please check every BBC News outlet and see if I have cut and pasted anything. I have not, it was a joke and should be taken in the spirit it was said."

Steve Dyson, editor of the Birmingham Mail, commented: "This is an internal matter, we cannot discuss it."
