Blind spot?
That's the biggest kettle - pot - thing I have ever heard.
Danny Baker is a daft leftie anti royalist - he just thinks all the Royal Family are apes.
Do you genuinely believe Danny Baker is racist????
May I ask how old you are. |
Oh please.
Did he post ape pictures of Will and Kate's kids?
Danny Baker posted a racist tweet. Ask your mate GB for guidance on this.

2/ We will never agree, we will spend 3 hours going round in circles and getting angry.

As a committed anti-racist, I don't believe Danny Baker is a racist, or had racist intentions in posting the tweet. Indeed, a public figure with racist intentions would realise that such a tweet would end their career, as it has with Danny Baker.
Here's a link to his explanation at the time
And here's a link to an interview he did with James O'Brien, who would surely not have interviewed him if he thought he was a racist.
https://www.lbc.co.uk/radio/podcasts/full-disclosure-james-obrien/danny-baker-ba
Danny Baker is a unique broadcaster, and I think it it a real shame he has been banished from the airways for something I believe was a stupid error.
Incidentally, a tweet of his in the last 24 hours (the contents of which I set out below) seems to me to sum up the discussion about strikes better than anything I've seen.
"So much rhetoric about the "right to strike".
If you do a job and you feel you are being f**ked about: Strike.
Withdraw your labour.
That's it.
What else can you do?
Chatter about it? Post a blog? Write a think piece column for a paper? No.
STRIKE. Your labour has worth." |  | | |

But isn't he only elaborating on things he has already said before, when he admitted he had killed in Afghanistan? I don't recall former military men then coming out and saying he shouldn't talk about killing, but then again, he was a hero then, and is now public enemy no. 1.

What was the joke though?
Like I said I think only Danny knows what he meant (joke or otherwise).
Edit: just watched a clip of his James O’Brien interview. He does profess complete ignorance as opposed to anything else. [Post edited 7 Jan 2023 9:33]

I don’t remember him talking about numbers, video game style, but quite frankly, I have rarely listed to what he’s had to say on anything much.
All I’m saying is that there is a certain ‘code’ in the military about what is talked about publicly and what isn’t. If you break that, it tends not to end well for you, other than financially in his case, of course.
I’ve a lunch next week with some friends who know far more about his military time and I’ll be interested in their views on his disclosures, in the unlikely event they express them. |  | | |

The joke was that the royals, all them, are idiots. Even if Dany Baker is a massive racist (he's not) 1 example from a man who's career has been limited to radio for the last decade anyway is not exactly evidence of a mountain of press negativity over the union. The coverage was overwhelmingly positive everywhere.
Subsequently that changed as stories of behaviour towards staff and others came out, I can't comment on the truth of those stories but one imagines they came from somewhere.
Now as for Harry, too many things have been twisted in his narrative for me to find much of what he says believable.
For example the compliant that the press intrude on the children and giving school as a terrifying example. Yet there has been a long standing agreement that they get 1 opportunity on the first day and the left alone. Not the
constant hounding it was made out to be. There was a similar example about press at an event yet that turned out to be 1 photographe, agreed with thre palace beforehad and eveyone was made aware. He was hardly hiding in the bushes.
The netflix doc, despite having plenty of shots of paperazzi being paperazzi hardly featurs any instaces of rhe press following them. It does show phtogrohers at a Garry Potter junket and outside court for some Katie Price thing.
The talibam story is quite morbid and agree not at all soiderly.
So the people who just want to be normal private citezens away from the press have done 1 Opra interview, 1 netflix doc, 1 book which is being promted by a book tour without even a hint of irony being acknowleged. |  |

We did this back at the time of hios tweet.
Danny Baker sacked from 5 Live by itfcjoe 9 May 2019 10:37These things are just mad, he's made a mistake, deleted the offending tweet as soon as pointed out to him and offered a full apology instantly and explained he wasn't aware.
I'd hate to be in the public eye in anyway, must be torturous
This was my view:
"I think the people who immediately saw it as being racist, are aware that associating the baby of a woman from African American heritage with a monkey, are acutely aware of the connotations such an image holds.
And as [redacted] has previously said much has been made of Megan's ethnic background since her wedding to Harry.
Like I said last night, there were 4 opportunities to pause and reflect before hitting the post button on DB's tweet. As somebody who has worked in the media for over thirty years, writing scripts and jokes and understanding the red lines that can't be crossed when doing so, I can't believe he is that naive.
I keep wanting to give DB the benefit of the doubt but just can't convince myself he'd be that naive".
That thread created TWTD's finest comedy gold oent. [Post edited 7 Jan 2023 10:40]

it was an idiotic thing to post - and it's hard to see how someone who lives and works in the media world didn't see that straight away.
all i can think it that he was focused on them being posh and privileged and within that mindset lost sight of her being mixed race. the joke was that these people are so privileged and out of touch that their baby will leave hospital in a 3 piece suit and bowler.
i can certainly imagine him posting the same photo had the rees moggs had a baby. |  |

As someone fairly new to the general tab, I don't realise that certain issues have already been dealt with, but I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.
The only thing I would say is that I find this part of the board rather addictive, so perhaps I'll have to ration my contributions. Otherwise, in twenty years time as an old hand, I'll be pulling out something I said now, in response to a newbie. [Post edited 7 Jan 2023 11:03]

Agree. Has has nothing to lose so is just taking the cash and firing the blame cannon indiscriminately. Fair enough.
Easy to underestimate how losing a parent seismically traumatises a young family.
Only thing he shouldn't have done is talk about his Afghanistan stuff. That's genuinely stupid and dangerous. |  |

Actually, I think he has everything to lose. The most precious thing he has is his family, particularly his brother (beyond his immediate family of course). The second thing he stands to lose potentially is his military ‘family’ and connections.
What does he stand to gain? Money. But they were never going to be short of that, so they’re actually gaining nothing in real terms - in my opinion. [Post edited 7 Jan 2023 11:43]

He's arguably already lost the wider family to some degree. I think he's trying to salvage it with nuclear tactics.
I definitely don't think money is a material factor (but it is a factor). I see a headstrong, traumatised individual who doesn't like the way the system works. Primogeniture has absolutely screwed him too tbf. That was also adjusted back, so it literally just mugged him off. [Post edited 7 Jan 2023 11:58]
