I don't listen to 5 Live on a Sat morning due to Baker and Colin Murray is another one that gets on my wick

i'm leaning towards this as well, you don't work in the media as long as he has without having an idea of what response you are going to get

I said to the TL about it just being a performing monkey he meant and she said "my arse, why not use a performing Bear as that is more recognisable and not open to interpretation"

I hate when she does that :oh:

:clap1: the TL :love:

I think we should swap you for the TL tbh :idc:

:oh:

I am just monitoring a pair of Muckboots she bought from Amazon that were too big, they are currently in the living room at her side of the sofa and i am wondering how long they will sit there before the return is properly done and the box put by the door to take to the PO

It better not be 7 days like her macular degeneration light bulbs

:fist:

Exactly !
Kate & William have had 3 children and I don't remember a silly "joke" about a performing monkey leaving the hospital with them , I don't understand how people can defend Baker:facepalm: .

Always thought the guy was a sad creep. Good to have it confirmed.

Imagine having to deal with this **** still and people say racism doesn't exist anymore

i dont think anyone


anywhere

has ever said that

:conf:

good decision

No one anywhere? That's a bold statement to make

Children are little monkeys, I call my nieces monkeys all the time. Would I call a black child a monkey? No. Because I wouldn't want to cause unnecessary offence. If this was a mistake, then it was a stupid, insensitive mistake and he should apologise.

well if you can find anyone vaguely reliable who said it let the thread know

You are oddly defensive about this, why is that?

the BBC didn't mess about, they just fired him because racist or not, he knew what he was doing and the reaction it would get.

of course he did

Oh the guy who is best mates with Chris Evans yeah makes sense. Best Jeremy Clarkson hangs around with them too

Oh God.... I can't stand Chris Evans.

I hate him!!

A bit silly in this day and age. He should know better.
I called my nieces and nephews little monkeys, one of them happens to be mixed race, never thought anything of it.
Lived in Africa with both monkeys and black people, never once heard a black person called a monkey:shrug:
But I accept that in this day and age it can very well be seen as derogative and therefore would never use it.
Better not call any future babies in the family piccaninny either now.

what if I told everyone on here that Danny did not know Meghan is mixed race


with that knowledge would that change your opinion?

No, because it would be a lie

Yes they had no choice but Sack him
that tweet went all over the World
before he deleted it.
He has put the BBC in a bad way

LBC Radio Live
left winger is saying he should not be sacked
