He knows Danny was on the Wine

He views it as a class issue
the Power of Red Wine


What should he learn?
While on the wine
stay off twitter

Twosugars 11-05-2019 12:41 PM

He's into football and he knows monkeys are a notorious racist trope, no excuses

I also was under the impression until fairly recently that for a 'hate crime' a crime had to be committed first, and then context and such decide if its actually a hate crime rather than..just a crime?

. what are they going to 'investigate" exactly?

Why make excuses for him, whether he was drunk or not, he still posted a racist tweet :bored:

I don’t know about you, but when I drink wine it gives me heartburn, not racist tendencies

Yes he is 61
he had Cancer - and lived
and has learnt not to tweet
while on the Wine.
(meaning while posting that classic
old photo he thought with his drunken mind
to add Royal Baby)


He may get another job at Talk Sport Radio
so long as he stays out of any more trouble.

Vicky. 11-05-2019 01:46 PM

Arista you seem rather invested in making excuses for this stupidity. My mother had cancer and lived. Didn't turn her racist. My father in law is older than 61, him neither!

Yeah and I thought it was a poor apology. Did you think it was good? Why?

I don't think DB is racist tbf as has been said previously on the thread he was trying to be edgy and mocking the Royal family but fell flat on his arse, if he has produced this when George was born for instance I am sure many would be applauding him, the alcohol clouded his judgement and he probably genuinely forgot about Meghans heritage

bots 11-05-2019 01:58 PM

i don't know if he is racist or not. I am quite sure he knew what he was posting and the connotations of it. I think he did it to be controversial/edgy ... thought it would get him a few laughs and increase his profile. The fact that his apology started off as a criticism of those who complained, and then altered again when that didn't get accepted, and then again after that, tells me he feels no contrition for what he did. However, investigation by the police is completely stupid.

No I agree with what James posted.

He knows full well
it should not have been posted

But when drunk
it not the best time to post on twitter

Yes could be.

Vicky. 11-05-2019 02:15 PM

I agree he was probably doing it to be 'funny' by mocking the royals.

I disagree he did not think about Megans heritage though, its the only way the 'joke' works.

Glad stupidity like this backfired on him.

Oliver_W 12-05-2019 07:41 PM

There's really no need for police involvement, he's been punished enough - he's lost his job and has wrongly been called racist, so just leave him to it now.
