He can go back to Talk Sport Radio.

It was a genuine mistake and a joke about class

poor guy is distraught

arista 09-05-2019 10:58 AM

Yes of course
he will be thrown under the bus

posting the picture doesn't necessarily mean that he is a racist. I think his motivation was to get attention by creating controversy. Even if you put racism to one side, posting a picture of a monkey is not a nice thing to do to new parents who are rightfully proud of their new offspring. He wanted attention and used the couples status to get it.

Yes I think you have a good point re attention but isnt that what everyone wants when they tweet?

That would be pulling a Rosanne if Baker ever said that rubbish :bored: .

So he knew the Royal baby was born, but didn't know Meghan was mixed race? nah

He's just trying to get out of this by pretending he didn't know.

MTVN 09-05-2019 12:32 PM

I'm more inclined to believe he is just an idiot rather than trying to be intentionally racist, there's no way he'd have wanted to be sacked from the BBC and lose a lot of good work but if he'd have thought about it he would've realised that's the inevitable consequence

No, in response to Luke B telling LT what to do in the post directly before yours.

Wow. The kid is not even a week old yet and already he’s been racially abused. Not bad going.

It's pretty clear cut that it was racist and the 'I'm not racist, YOU'RE RACIST FOR THINKING IT'S RACIST' defence he's come up with is beyond stupid. He deserves to lose his job.

It's utterly gross how Meghan gets treated and it sadly doesn't surprise me to see such racism directed at their child.
