Mad innit?
I'd argue, as a BBC radio employee presenting current affair shows he has an absolute duty to be fully in loop about things like Royal births. It's just complete arrogance. And then to actually tweet about the thing! Why even do it if he knew nothing about it. He's an antagonist for the sake of it.
Some tweets...
Might not be racist but the guy is a ****ing bellend.

He doesn't present current affairs. On Baker's shows you'd get PG Wodehouse, Sir Henry at Rawlinson End, mad trivia and explanations of the origins of words, recordings of worn out musical toys and stories of invisible footballs You would not get any news or current affairs.
It seems to me that Baker's mistake was to clumsily wade in to something he had paid no attention to and didn't have a clue about................ (insert own conclusion).
DB made an insensitive/unthinking mistake and has paid with his job. That’s all.
He’s a quality broadcaster and after a short rest, will be snapped up by a commercial broadcaster. Their big win.

The problem is that nobody else can do his job. For evidence of this listen to 606. The show has always been absolutely appalling without him, because everybody else thinks that giving the fans a voice means asking what is it with Arsenal/Mourinho/Andy Carroll? and then putting through whatever dullard wants to moan about their team, rather than talking about what it is is to be a football fan. Baker's approach means radio like this:

He knows his stuff better than anyone. His mistake was sticking his oar into everybody else's stuff.

But ironically, being a member of the Royal family seems to.

I have been wondering about that part of the furore. I've seen other people claim it and I've seen reports of him saying that the chimp photo is a go to for him whenever posh people have a baby, but I haven't seen him say that he posted it in response to previous Royal births. I could have missed it and it's difficult to plough through the amount of reporting there has been around the story. Could you point me to where you read it?
