    i'm clearly missing something, how is calling a mixed race child a monkey not racist ?
    You don’t actually believe that do you ? 
    i'm struggling to see what the link could possibly be apart from calling the child a monkey?

    I honestly don't care if he meant anything by it or not and I know that he hasn't added the caption to the photo himself but even if you find monkeys dressed as humans amusing, what is the link to the baby?

    i must be the only person (apart from maybe Baker) who didn't know Meghan is mixed race 

    edit: to explain my ignorance i have no care for the royal family so i don't pay any attention to their lives. only found out she had a baby because somebody posted it on here yesterday.

    Here's the best thing to do.
    If your currently working in an office send the tweet round the office and then see if you have a job by the end of the day.

    So a football fan calls a black player a monkey and he is banned for life---- Baker tweets a  pic showing the Royal baby as a monkey and he gets defended ?

    Very strange parameters placed on this "racism" thingy

    @Lincsaddick - I will take you up on your LOL on my post. Are you suggesting that Danny Baker is a racist, and that he tweeted that picture as a demonstration of that racism?

    I'm struggling to see how that tweet was ever going to be seen as anything other than racist or what the point of tweeting it was if Baker didn't intend it to be racist.

    Apart from the fact he is Millwall, and leaving aside any comment on whether he was or wasn't being racist, I don't understand all the hatred for Danny Baker on here. I listen to his radio show on Saturday morning and it is brilliant radio - I can actually laugh out loud at times. And think back to when he used to host the Saturday phone-in on Radio 5 - again brilliant radio compared to the dross the Robbie Savages and Chris Suttons of this world come up with now.

    I can't understand, seeing as no one likes him and he doesn't care, he took down the tweet.

    His words only. BBC not confirmed although they have reported his tweet saying he'd been fired.

    Silly mistake, not intended to be racist at all and he's being hung out to dry. I just wish for once someone would just say, no, I'm not apologising and stop people pretending to be offended.

    It has been explained multiple times, I just don’t think some of you want to listen. 

    The BBC’s decision is spineless and pathetic.
