Outstandingly stupid thing for him to do. What the hell was he thinking?
As a broadcaster I’m astonished he has won awards for his radio work. He sits at a microphone talking meaningless rubbish for 3 hours on a Saturday morning and some sandal wearing hippy that runs an awards organisation thinks he’s hip and relevant. For once the BBC has acted quickly and correctly. Now they need to get rid of the left wing sandal wearing hippies that run the organisation and continue to broadcast lies and bias. Rant over.

Never liked him anyway. Not funny at all and a complete prat (other words come to mind but the NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- swear filter would get me)

Danny Baker’s not stupid and he’s a keen follower of football, he’s got enough books in his name about it.
Therefore, you would expect him to be aware of racist terrace chants of “monkey”, “bananas” etc and the possible conations that a tweet involving a monkey could have. Now put it in the context of Megan’s mixed race, highlighted by her mother being in some of the photos, it was an incredibly bad choice of photo and I struggle to see how Danny, an experienced media profesional, could have thought otherwise. I’m somewhat conflicted but after some considerable thought I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, he’s paid a high price in losing his job and hopefully other celebrities will think twice before posting “funny” stuff. Sadly his initial apology where he tried to make light of it is indicative of the modern world where everything is demanded now, now, now…his later apologies seem more heart felt, though that could be me with my slightly rose tinted specs on. |

He is (was) typical of the genre. Mouth like the Rotherhithe tunnel with no filter between it and the sewer. Oh, and no discernible talent. Just deserts, finally. It always amazes me how these people get fortunes for sneering at the innocuous and are called comedic. Contrast him with Freddie Starr. On second thoughts, no, don't.

Well, what a coincidence or not! Tonight's Have I Got News for You (Episode 6) seems to have been pulled.Even the internet listing of the series now jumps from Episode 5 to next week Episode 7. That show's inimical irreverent style that might have discussed this item of news that may have been too much to show. Instead an old Would I Lie To You put in its place. Of course there could be another reason.
I now see it is claimed the show would have fallen foul of European elections rules. I liked my conspiracy theory best. Last edited by Brit; 10th May 2019 at 20:57.. |

He said it was to link the similarly of circus animals dressing up and performing for the public and the royal family doing the same thing.

I see a specialist police team are investigating after a complaint was made. I wonder if they can they prove it was racist and warrants a prosecution.
