Harry getting a mob of arsenal together to go down the den and sort this out.

God, how stupid.

Apparently this is standard procedure, but what a monumental waste of police time, he has been sacked as have many people who have previously come unstuck by using their social media when brain was not engaged, that should be warning enough

Typing words on a screen shouldn't be a police matter.

Sod the words
its the Real old Photo
of the chimp. (a Class Joke)

If that man thinks Danny Baker’s tweet was a “joke” or “humour” then there’s something far wrong

Did you read Baker's explanation?

The police are underfunded and understaffed. And appaear to spend a fair amount of time these days interviewing people for tweets. Meanwhile, actual crime goes unpunished. Of course what he posted was stupid, but its surely not a police matter..

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?

He has done Nothing Wrong but Drinking
Wine in the Evening.


He has no Hate
except the Young BBC boss that phoned him
when he had to be Sacked
he used the F word alot of times

He knows Danny was on the Wine

Wine turned him into a racist joker? That is funny

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


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

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

. 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:

Sure but the Wine drinking
puts him in Surreal World
on twitter.

I am not
He was Correctly Fired.

Really?!

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

:joker:

:joker: :clap1:

Brilliant! :joker:

Quote of the thread

But being into football dorent make a person racist

:D

Way to totally miss what TS was saying :laugh:

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

The police will decide that

Thought Police is the proper name.

Racial attacks are against the law, whether it’s dumb or not, the police have to be involved I imagine, you get get out of a drink driving charge by getting sacked

Nobody was attacked.

If you don't like the laws in this country that's your problem
