I like the guy and can see how it could conceivably be an honest mistake but his refusal to properly apologise for it is just...mad. I'd be mortified. He's just shrugging it off.

i don't believe that people make "mistakes" like that on social media any more. They are wise to any picture contents and connotations they may have.

No way is that a mistake, his awful Saturday morning show on BBC 5 live must be flagging

...especially as it’s their jobs and their earnings that they would be jeopardising...anything posted would be really well thought out and intentional, surely...

SOMETIMES I can concede that there's a remote possibility of a stupid mistake being made but I don't know how he could possibly justify this one as a mistake . What on earth would the context be.

Can't even see how it would be a mistake tbh. It's not like singing along the N-word in a rap song or something, but posting a picture of a monkey clearly has racist connotations.

Just another case of someone being a dickhead and thinking it's funny.

I figure if the intention was "look at these posh fools" then having a monkey would be some kind of comment on how silly the whole obsession with royalty is, but yeah I can't really imagine how the obvious bad connotation would escape your mind

Which is really scary
