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

Well if I don't like something, then of course it's my problem, that's why I speak out about it.

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.

How are you so sure that he was wrongly accused?

His explanation makes sense, and rabid Corbynistas aren't likely to be racist against non-Jews.

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

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.

of course it went well, I doubt people will turn away from him in droves because of one tweet, and as for the police being involved, well its easy to see why some actual crimes are never investigated because so much time is taken up with 'investigating' tweets made by people who should step away from their phone on occasion

[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.”]

Anger as Danny Baker threatens audience with snooker queue.

And there we have it.

It's not just Baker who is racist, it's anyone who goes to see him.

And an advocacy of lynching. Unless... that was a joke? I mean, you have to be careful with jokes.

You actually dont. There are many comedians who have very healthy careers without making such jokes.

So because she doesn’t look like Serena Williams, that means it’s easy to not realise she’s mixed race? The lengths people go to to try and excuse racism, Jesus.

I know right .

Plus Meghan's mother is black and before Harry & Meghan got married it was a known fact she's mixed race especially when she got trolls targeting her .
