Again, just a reminder that this dinosaur played a noteworthy role in ensuring we have a club at all. I have no problem if subsequently he has a gentle ribbing against us. All part of the fun.

Exactly and that's why intent is so important here. More amazingly 18 people have used their critical faculties to state DB knew that what he was sending was racist and did it anyway. We are all entitled to a difference of opinion but I find that extraordinary.

https://www.lbc.co.uk/radio/presenters/james-obrien/danny-bakers-first-interview-since-being-sacked-by/ Really worth a listen especially those who think the tweet was deliberately racist.

Where have I stated there were? Others have I believe - no idea if there were or not. And it's true I'll never know for sure if there was any racist intent but based on everything he has ever done or said in public, his history of talking about monkeys dressed up, his lack of any history of...

But loads of BBC employees insult people on their Twitter all the time - Gary Linekar springs to mind. There should be no consequences for sending a tweet meant to imply the royal are posh. Of course some things such as racism or homophobia are abhorrent and the consequences for those should be...

Woah so now you are saying he can't insult someone at all whether it's racist or not? So he should lose his job if he has a dig at Donald Trump say?

Well that's certainly conclusive rather than any actual evidence.

So not considering how some people might view a tweet completely differently to how it was obviously intended is now a sackable offence? Nonsense. Maybe he should have thought about it before posting - I certainly didn't think about it in any racist way until it was pointed out. When he...

Obviously you've forgotten the very real role he had in highlighting our plight back in 1997.

And now he's saying he's been fired by 5Live. If true, the world has gone utterly stark raving bonkers.

Absolutely, totally this. I can't stand it - let's reserve our condemnation for real racism with intent which is abominable rather than a misinterpreted gag. Baker's final apology around the time of the final whistle last night was sincere and should be the end of it but he has just tweeted...

I don't think he does. Let the professionally offended blow themselves out and get on with life. If you know Danny you know he posts silly pictures all the time. Nothing more nothing less.

Don't even think it was misplaced. Nothing to see here unless someone is desperately looking to be offended.
