He's not a racist, but he did accidentally kill Bob Marley :oops: ... so, you know, it's easy to see why people might make that assumption.

:D

'Chimps dressed as famous people' is a standard routine of his show. There's no agenda behind the tweet and I'm sure he genuinely has no interest in the royal family, so would simply never have considered the connotation of what he posted.

But plenty of racist dweebs would be out there waiting to make similar jibes, with genuine intent, and in that climate and in relation to such a prominent public figure I don't really see the BBC had any alternative. They could've held out, but it would've got messy and eventually untenable and the same outcome would've ensued.


I agree with you whole heartedly in that the beeb had no choice. I appreciate he's a Marmite figure but he's not a racist closet or otherwise, just heard him on LBC (see edited response to SubSub) he knows he just made a stupid mistake.

Absolutely. I don't think he's in any way racist, but taken at face value the tweet seemed incredibly crass.

Funnily enough, Danny mentioned Talksport on what was now his last show on Five Live. He said "Don't listen to Talksport, it's rubbish". :)

It would be amusing if he now turned up on said station but I can't see that happening.

Tricky one for St Gary. They're writing a book and I've no doubt that live show they did was a dry run for a full tour. DB doesn't deserve Ron Atkinson pariah for ever status.

No need to tune into anything on 5Live now, so I guess that’s a positive.

Runners and riders for Baker’s slot? Will it be a box-ticking frenzy?

He will probably have a show on talkRADIO by the end of the month, in fact, I would have no problem if he replaced Iain Lee.

Baker wouldn't do three hours a night.

Too busy getting pissed at home.

Don't think he'd take the Murdoch money, love to be proved wrong.

I doubt his wish to retire and live in America will be happening now either.

"Literally threw me under the bus"

It's odd that a broadcaster doesn't know the meaning of the word 'literally'.

Or the Nihal And Dotun Show.

You always got the feeling Baker's two hours was always seen as two hours grudgingly given over when they'd much rather have been talking about splitarses running around after a football watched by about 20 people.

An awful radio station just became totally unlistenable.

Bad form from Danny. Making fun of the new prince is nothing to snigger about.

I don't think he's a racist but he is a very stupid boy...

I don't think that alone will be enough to get him a gig on Talksport!

If only he kept in touch with Gazza. What a double-act. Still be better than Goldstain and Moon-face.
