What has compounded a totally stupid tweet was his response saying those criticising have diseased minds. Danny's trouble is he thinks he's so clever but clearly not that clever...
While apologising for his stupidity he’s making it all about him and the BBC ‘throwing me under the bus’. Bad move.
It says a lot about him that he thinks the Beeb were wrong to fire him over it. But actually right or wrong doesn't come into it for me. Any employee of a major broadcaster who doesn't know that an action like that will lose them their job is either a complete idiot or seeking victimhood. Put it this way - if I posted that on Facebook and someone told my employer (the Govt) I suspect I'd be down the Job Centre - and quite rightly so. Comes back to what Stan was saying about whether you're able to do your job properly.
I feel sorry for any monkeys that have taken offence at being linked to the royal family Also the only thing Danny Baker should do now in the call of public duty is to top himself live on you tube ... it’s a win win then for everyone
Seems I'm in the minority, in that I've never liked Danny Baker. Always so far up himself. This idiotic "joke" appears to show him to be a racist as well as a knob! Got exactly what he deserved.
I don't particularly like Danny Baker but I'm convinced this was just a total brain fart. Totally I'll judged but that's the thing with a brain fart, good judgement temporarily alludes you.
Nah, I don't buy it. He's actually claiming that he was the only person in the world who didn't know that Harry and Megan were having a baby!! His explainations were excruciatingly pathetic. What a twat.
It’s a great day when that gobshite is finally put out to grass He was always an idiot and is responsible for the state of the U.K. media today Bollocks to the parasite
Well, I’ve liked his radio stuff, hated anything scripted and on TV, agree he is terminally up himself but nevertheless sometimes a great broadcaster. Now, however, I have to agree with you both. Good riddance.
I'd have had to question my judgment if you'd said you liked him, Col. He's a brilliant broadcaster but this tweet was incredibly stupid. I don't for one minute think he's racist, though.
Doesn’t matter what the intent was, or whether it was a brain fart, it was a mean spirited, puerile and juvenile thing to do. We have enough **** going on without this kind of crap on top.
Equally, you holding such a knob in such high regard is no surprise whatsoever. He's actually trying to convince us that he didn't know anything about the mixed race royal baby being born. He's a racist, that's clear. Why else would he lie so openly to try to excuse himself?
It was all those things, but it was also, 100% racist. Does he throw bananas at the black players down at Millwall?
Anyone familiar with his radio show would know that he has a running joke about pitching a TV show called 'Monkeys Dressed as Famous People'. I'm guessing this tweet was along these lines. I don't believe he would have even considered the potentially racist connotations and he took the thing down when it was pointed out to him. Stupid, yes, deserving of a sacking, probably, but deliberately racist, I don't think so.
