Any Danny Baker fans out there? on 19:09 - May 8 with 3458 views | chicoazul | I go back and forth on him. I find him quite funny and interesting on the radio but his books are some of the most self-indulgent twaddle I have read, and I have never seen a man more incomprehensibly in love with himself. He's a bit like Stephen Fry in that he clearly fancies himself as an avant-garde outsider kicking it to the man but is as establishment as they come. | |

What could be wrong with portraying a child of mixed race as a monkey? He saw the original image, put it in a tweet, typed the words to go with it and pressed "post". 4 opportunities to think to himself that it would be unwise to post this. And he still went ahead and did so. | |

I suspect it’s a doing a racism issue. The thought hadn’t crossed my mind originally, and maybe it didn’t his either. Nevertheless, the turds will hit the fan. | |

I imagine most people wouldn’t know he’s a child of mixed race. Thought never crossed my mind. | |

same here, had to think twice about what he was apologising for. Oh well, be some good tabloid fodder for the drooling masses tomorrow. | |

Same here. Danny Baker isn't known for racist views. Simple mistake IMO... which the media and twitterati will no doubt jump on. | |

Agree with you on most apart from that I love Stephen Fry and think DB's radio is very good. His audio books are a shocking. I've not got half-way through one of them. May even get my refund from Audible. His radio is very good. Mrs H and I love the Saturday fooling. | |

It's almost as if the actions of a person in the past should be taken into account, to see if there is a pattern of behaviour. Wouldn't you agree? | |

Erm, yeah, I guess so. Does Danny Baker have a history of racist views I'm not aware of? | |

No, that's what I'm saying. It's easier to believe that a person isn't racist and has made a genuine mistake if, like Danny Baker, they don't have a history of making racist statements or gaffs. | |

Any Danny Baker fans out there? on 20:51 - May 8 with 2870 views | footers | Erm. The relationship between Miss Markle and Mr Hewitt had sparked a lot of public coverage about race, hadn't it? Maybe it's just my perception, but I recall quite a lot of news stories making a great deal about her being a POC and marrying into the royal family. For Baker D to not have noticed seems odd to me. Not that I find him important, funny or relevant in any way (sorry). | |

There's nothing odd about it. You, and other people, are overthinking. | |
