danny baker sacked

Chip is a masculine name in America

It's easy for the chimps, they only have 7 possible gender identifications to choose from.

HGS, in BBC/Guardian/SJW eyes if you remotely offend someone in the slightest most pathetic way, it makes you a fascist who agrees with SS death camps.

They don't want this accusation thrown at them.

I find that very distressing JC.

First out in IMAC. He made me a nice few quid

Tell me about it, I used the "wrong" gender pronoun to a nose ringed shop assistant the other day and now I've found out the cost of the mandatory untersturmfuhrer uniform on ebay, I wish I'd kept my mouth shut!

You must shop in some funny shops? What esoteric products were you searching for?

Compliments.

Thems can be free if you know how to fish for them.

Summed it up perfectly with this quaote about the BBC bosses who fired him. "a masterclass of pompous faux-gravity".

Doc Crippen was high up in the BBC?

Thought he worked for Rentokil.

Doc Crippen was high up in the BBC?


aerial installer?

Yes, plays havoc with his vertigo.

"Come Monday nobody will remember this" That's what you think!

Quite shocked that he was that stupid to not realise he would be slaughtered for that tweet.

What sort of mind is a BBC News Editor required to possess these days, in order to make an editorial decision NOT to show a photo of a chimpanzee dressed up like a toff?

Given that the photograph appears to have been taken in the 1940s or 50s, I think it is safe to assume the chimp is dead, the chimp can't sue, or even express any condemnation over Twitter.  The chimp can't even enjoy a gold-plated, taxpayer-funded, legal challenge by employing a Chancer Human Rights Lawyer to protest 'hurt feelings".

Is there ANYONE who can explain WHY the ludicrous decision was taken?

Maximum effect their MO,strange that no 'Black' person has challenged this now definite forced view and said "Hang on we don't look like Chimpanzees what's going on?"

New EUSSR law coming in that requires retailers to take all those chimp birthday cards off the shelves.

he seems more contrite today

may have seen him in better light yesterday had he adopted that stance yesterday,
instead of making light of it.

He did not even know Megan was up the duff....Don't make me laugh ffs.

Who really cares. Some of you should be pleased the BBC you hate is not going to waste money on him anymore. He is boring and a bore. If he didn't know his post was going to cause offence to some then he is an idiot and deserves to go.

Now he wants to make a full public apology. Perhaps those of you defending his actions should think about that. He is either a liar or cack sucker, good riddance!

and for the record I found the photo more than amusing but he should have known the legitimate offence it would cause to many.

If you think he meant to cause racial offence imo you are a bigger idiot than Danny Baker.

Well that's my thoughts Clydebank. I doubt he meant to be racist as you'd have to be incredibly stupid to do that in 2019, but it's very obvious why it could be interpreted as racist. But his attempts to cover it up by saying he didn't know much about the baby or that it was technically mixed race etc just come across as pathetic and dishonest.

I'm so tired of the permanent state of outrage the media/political bubble is in now in about anything on "social media", the lynch mobs, the lack of forgiveness or to accept there may be a more innocent explanation, the hysterical OTT media and political overreactions, and people getting fired or even arrested for nonsense. It's pathetic. It's hard to conclude society is a better place than it was before it was invented, quite the opposite.

One thing is certain.  There are plenty of idiots in the world and plenty of hypocrites.

I dunno what the world is coming to.

You can’t even laugh at dwarves anymore.

Small person racists are the worst.

Classic Early Doors

You got it Denzil

An incredible over reaction, even by BBC/ SJW standards. A new low has been created that this has been dealt with with all sincerity by such people.

It's a day later and I still can't get over the BBC censoring that photo of a chimp in a suit.
I just can't imagine what level of stupidity they have in their management, it's a new low.
If someone on here posted that image on the "historical photos of interest" thread the betfair forum censors would wave it through without a thought and people would look at that and thinkg "lol that's a bit silly". It's not an offensive or racist image and if you are offended or "triggered" by seeing it you need to grow up. The BBC is such a self righteous pillar of Political Correctness...

.. and the thing is they didn't just NOT show it, they showed it "censored" and made a big thing of saying they'd censored it to not offend us, as if this was some sort of noble gesture by them. I wonder if anyone in their newsroom was embarrassed by this, or they have all completed the brainwashing course?

Nina Conti's act in danger

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-ZkJdQok2c

so why has he apologised?

Wants his job back, presumably.

so not just a div but a cack sucker!

He wont get his job back! total loser with no backbone!

you don't believe that mouse

It was a fairly straightforward assumption.

anybody got anything to say about his total capitulation?

Grovelling is just part and parcel of the world of work imo.

i'd imagine he's not expecting his job back but that he can salvage something of a tv/radio career elsewhere when the dust settles

Sign of the times - every half-wit in the world now has a platform of some kind on social media.

If you choose to live like a half-wit on twitter, you can't really complain when you then get tried and sentenced by other half-wits on twitter imo.

By definition it is the haunt of shallow tw@ts that are desperate for attention - I guess he got some attention though.

I make mistakes at work on a regular basis. I apologise, make amends if needed and move on.

And by 'move on' I don't mean seek other work. I mean carry on as usual. All this sacking garbage is pathetic.

Injera - that's in the real world - this happened on twitter, it's not the real world.

He interviewed Ronnie O'Sullian when he was a kid, talked to him about his talent and what his hopes were for the future, 1 question was "how big do you want to be when you're older"

"5ft 10" Ronnie replied

Baker grinned but you could see he was slightly annoyed thinking he'd just be done by a cocky little kid, but Ronnie genuinely thought he meant how big as in height.

what he won't want is to be hated by the general public and be labelled a racist

the royalists will hate him for taking the pish, monkeys will hate him, black people could hate him, the royal couple will definitely hate him, the twitter hysteria crowd will hate him and those that think he should stick two fingers up but doesn't have the b@lls will hate him, people who dress like toffs might hate him and prince phillip will probably try and shoot him

Archie will vow to have his revenge when he grows up.

Could be a good movie.

and his defenders on here should hate him for capitulating being a liar and cack sucker! What a pathetic news story.

In the end good triumphed. Another idiot off the radio and tax payers not continuing to be being fleeced. Some of you people should be embarrassed for defending him! Total loser supported by losers!

In his business you probably need to use SM to help maintain your profile.  Particularly someone like Danny Baker who's "talent" is being loud and mildly controversial.  He made a gaffe, quickly apologised and removed said tweet when he realised his error.  It's a non story, made a story.  He's not my cup of tea as an entertainer, always found him a little annoying personally, loud rather than particularly talented, but I think he's dealt with the incident, post gaffe very well.  He's been successful, has his audience and will work again.

if he had dealt with it well he wouldn't have been sacked ffs!

What a bunch of planks you people are to come on here try to defend him and then add in he is not my cup of tea! He is not my cup of coffee no milk either! He is a twaitte. He got rumbled. Move on! Losers!

He lied and you lot tried to defend him!

Doh! What a bunch of monkeys!

like Chris Evans, was loud, shouted a lot, energetic, but no actual talent. Having said that had millions of radio listeners, not sure if that's just BBC Radio 1 loyalty to whoever presents or they liked him.

I did not see what he posted, but from the description and for the BBC not to even show it on tv can only be something incredibly offensive and disrespectful to the Royal couple; a sacking is the very minimum. I think he ought to consider himself fortunate not to be charged with posting an offensive and potentially racist image not acceptable from a BBC personnel whose salary is paid by the tax-payers.

I believe his sacking is wholly justified. I also hope he accepts it, and try not to trivialise it as something unintentional or personal to the Royal couple.

What does this bit mean ?
Which 'tax payers' exactly and how are they going to be better off financially ?

Confused

Doh,

How do you think the BBC is funded? Who pays for the programming and wages?

^ still doesn't make sense tho. he only did saturday mornings, how much are we all saving then?

oh ffs!

Does it matter! it was too much!

Pathetic!

how much was it?

you are very angry wd, are you a monkey?

a cheeky monkey maybe northanlite!

just funning his apologist's is all!

couldn't really give sheite. Ashey thought the photo was quite funny! Loved the hullabaloo and loved even more the people making excuses for him. Made themselves out to be bigger chunts than those complaining!

That fridge is just like mine, except mine contains more monkey poop.

i think and i may be wrong, but many of those who appear to be defending him are in fact attacking either the bbc for their inconsistencies and their quick decision to sack him, or they are having a go at the twitter loons who will leap upon any perceived injustice and start a petition

he made a mistake, pretty obvious it would not end well if he'd thought about it, his defence is he didn't think about it

Whisperingdeath • May 10, 2019 7:15 PM BST

Licence fee payers .
But you seem to be under the impression that licence fee payers will be receiving some sort of rebate as a direct result of Mr Baker's sacking .
Personally , and I may be wrong , I don't believe they will so I'm struggling to see how the licence fee payer is going to be any better off

you are wrong and you have been talking like an idiot throughout this thread!

Are you really stupid? I don't think so. Give it up. The idiot has even been found to have tweeted about the baby a couple of days before his monkey tweet!

Whisperingdeath - You clearly stated that those who fund the BBC "will no longer continue to be fleeced" . Your words .
All I'm saying is that those licence fee tax payers will continue to be fleeced regardless of the sacking of Danny Baker .
I'm correct , you are incorrect , for all your insane rantings about anyone holding a differing view on this subject to yourself being an 'idiot' .

I think the new bloke will be paid a lot less!

who cares anyway, this overpaid fatty is not worthy of 248 posts.

bang on!

The Beeb have always been a bit wary of heterosexual non Oxbridge white presenters, and being a Milwall supporter probably meant he had
a red mark against his name.
I agree he was an egotistical ****, but his program was still the best thing on 5 live.

Whisperingdeath • May 10, 2019 8:51 PM BST
I think the new bloke will be paid a lot less!............ thus resulting in a reduction in the licence fee , yeah ? Ok fair enough

An OUTRAGE(the fave word of the times) said the BBC news last night, no an outrage is the bombing of innocent men,women and children in Yeaman by the Saudis using weapons sold to them by the UK amongst others like the U.S. an outrage never mentioned by the dear old BBC

"Making an admittedly pathetic and tasteless joke about the skin colour of Meghan Markle is regarded as a sacking offence"
"But a prime minister who takes the country to war on a pack of lies,aiding and abetting the deaths of around 1,000,000 people mostly with brown skin doesn't stop that person appearing on the BBC as a self-appointed "expert" on any number of subjects"
"Who has caused real harm-Danny,the tasteless comic,or Tony Blair in the real world of life and death?Remember too Blair has never apologised for his "mistakes",he still tell us he did the right thing.

police investigating now.Baker is a clown but its not a criminal matter.

The lad should step up and demand a criminal investigation into the minister who leaked the report from the NSC. Both have received the same punishment yet the crimes are so different.

Give it up renard!

He is gone, who cares!

Apologies my Norman friend

Reynard!

police investigating now.Baker is a clown but its not a criminal matter.

In your mind it is not a criminal matter . Nor in my mind or the minds of any normal , sane , right-minded individuals . Unfortunately legislation has been put in place by people who are not in their right minds , in order to control and eventually curtail , freedom of speech , freedom of expression and ultimately , freedom of thought .
For a real crime to have been committed it requires a victim who , as a direct result of that crime , had suffered either loss , harm or injury . Injury can be either physical or psychological (which by it's very nature is subjective) .
Here we have a perceived crime for which there is no loss no harm and no identifiable injury . Furthermore there is no specific victim .
Clearly no crime has been committed and yet our police are empowered to 'investigate' . Regardless of the increasing volume of crimes that involve genuine loss , harm and injury (including murder at the hands of gun and knife-crazed lunatics still at large , this crime would appear to have taken priority . Even if our police had cleared every outstanding case on their books and were sat on their backsides awaiting the next gang-related stabbing , there would still be no justification whatsoever for them to look into the actions of Mr Baker .

But there has been a crime,a Hate crime,so here comes the Hate Police. Its a sign of the times baby.

'Hate' is not a crime according to our constitution .
It is a very negative emotion which in itself is not criminal . If ones 'hate' causes one to commit a crime then that is a different matter but to criminalise an emotion is the stuff of an Orwellian nightmare .

Would Rape be defined as a 'love crime' ?

So the police are now involved. What a ****ing JOKE, but we are a joke society now, so what else do we expect.
We don't really have a constitution. But yes we are already becoming pretty orwellian. "Thought crime" is coming.

A few months ago remembe the police somewhere were asking people go to them not if a crime was commited, but just if people were in some way "offended" by a tweet. (While at the same time they are saying they are underresourced). It makes you want to bang your head off the wall if you think about the sorts of people who are given responsibility.

terry - spot on about Blair and the BBC's hypocrisy. It seems you can kill thousands of dark skinned people and get away with it. Make a silly joke and you get the sack and the Old Bill on your doorstep.

I would add Cameron to the ever increasing list of sadists. He along with Obama led Libya into civil war and a trading route for people traffickers. I heard one BBC commentator suggest Barack for a name for the new royal baby

Very sad.

According to Carl Benjamin, yes.

Maybe not his actual words, but he'd agree with me that it's satire.

what a complete and utter waste of police time, it's beyond a joke now, real crimes going on all the time and yet this gets looked at despite no crime being committed.

much ado about nothing here, just because some white libtards have taken offence it's created a mountain out of a molehill

there is something deeply wrong in this country, common sense just doesn't exist any more

Try to get the police out if your house has been burgled.
Involving themselves in this is just madness.
A stupid post but no doubt a few rushed to complain to the police.

Reynard, don't know if you remember a few months ago,an elderly lady was at a petrol station and she was kept waiting by the car in front to get out (we all get peed off by that)so the old lady toots the car in front,have a guess what happens next!
Ok,i will tell you,it turns out the woman driving the car in front is a black lady,who then phones a special number which goes to a new unit which deals with "hate crimes".The "hate police" arrive,arrest the old lady and given a caution, you cant make this b0llox up,and honestly i havent.

Reynard,

I don't know if you remember but a bloke called Steven Lawrence was waiting at a bus stop minding his own business and he got stabbed and killed because he was black. The Police when asked to investigate not only did nothing but protected his killers. You can't make this stuff up!

Sure Danny Baker was at Harry Meghan wedding ?

Whisperingdeath - Yes , I do remember . Another example of our corrupt police force failing to do the job they're employed to do .

Whisperingdeath ,

I don't know if you remember but a young man called Kris Donald was abducted , raped , tortured and murdered (burnt alive) by a gang of 'asian' men in Glasgow because he was caucasian . The media failed to give this crime the coverage it warranted simply because the victim was white and the perpetrators were from a protected ethnic minority . You can't make this stuff up !

woundedknee - I've heard similar but without any proof I declined to mention it .
His mother received the title of baroness , which is nice for her . I'm still waiting for news of Lee Rigby's mother receiving similar .

Ive heard that Lawrence made money from another income let us say and stepped on some toes,would that sound right?
