I'm not sure Mr Baker has broken any laws, show me the law that states that it's illegal to post a picture of a monkey holding hands with two humans, on twitter? If that is a law, then it's worse than I thought. |

Yes no need for any Police. A member of the public went to the Police So Far nothing has happened |

"I chose the wrong photo to illustrate a joke. Disastrously so. "In attempting to lampoon privilege and the news cycle I went to a file of goofy pictures and saw the chimp dressed as a Lord and thought, 'That's the one!' Had I kept searching I might have chosen General Tom Thumb or even a a baby in a crown. But I didn't. God knows I wish had. |
Danny Baker had a Live gig this weekend
reports saying it went well, Even though he tweeted that old photo with the chimp which he has done before. |

However I find it a flimsy excuse and I find it almost impossible to believe that the race aspect didn't cross Baker's mind as he made his tweet. The "I'm just so un-racist that I didn't even realise it could be seen as racist!!" is old, tired and daft. |
i detest the whole concept of the royal family, so i'm happy if people poke fun at them, but Danny knew what he was doing. It's a very fine line between something being hilarious and not appropriate, thats the whole point of comedy. If everyone thinks it's funny, you have scored a winner, but if your employer doesn't find it funny, you are ****ed ... that's life

[Danny Baker performed his first live show since his tweet abou
t the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s baby, which resulted in the DJ losing his job. Baker was sacked from BBC Radio 5 Live after sharing a photograph featuring a chimpanzee alongside the caption: “Royal baby leaves hospital”. The tweet was posted on Wednesday, the same day Harry and Meghan appeared for the first time in public with their newborn son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. Arriving onstage to a warm reception, Baker told the audience at Nottingham’s Theatre Royal: “I genuinely didn’t know what the atmosphere would be like tonight. But equally, if anyone does want to rush the stage, I’m a Millwall fan with a snooker cue. You wouldn’t believe how I was feeling 20 minutes ago but I’m so pleased so let’s do this.”] https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-e...-a8911076.html |

I thought it was both sad and ridiculous that the front page of a newspaper shared two stories... the birth of the royal baby and the fact that someone posted a poor-taste joke on Twitter. There is a slither of a chance that he doesn't know anything at all about Meghan nor her heritage because she's not exactly Serena Williams, is she. Some people have no interest at all in the royal family and know nothing about them, did not watch the wedding, don't care whether they had a baby or not. I don't know anything about Danny Baker. I'm neither a fan nor a hater, but I think the pitchforks can go away now. |

Anger at clearly racist audience not lynching Danny Baker

Unless something starts being drawn out, the "general public" (and especially social media) has a very, very short memory. He'd probably even have been back on the beeb in a couple of years, but he's making it worse with the follow-up comments. |
