Danny Baker should be sacked immediately

Ffs lemon stop going on about the left wing issue of this - just stop it. There will be plenty of shitty UKIP right wing supporters thinking DB was spot on.

I'm glad to be an exception in this case Serchenjin. (No idea if I've got that name right)

Having seen the picture and the comment posted with it about the royal baby leaving hospital I too believe it to be racist. I also think he knew exactly what he was doing but was banking on the antagonism shown by many towards Meghan to protect him.

As someone who has experienced racism I can assure you that in no way could it be taken as a "joke".

If DB had posted this with reference to the birth of any mixed race baby I would have felt exactly the same - it’s nothing to do with the royal issue.

Daytime GN appears to be thinking along the same lines as most of the non-racist population Gone (with one or two exceptions)

Gonegirl......"if any"

Actually Baggs I can believe it.

Some left wing people appear not to care about any misfortune that happens to someone who is wealthy or a member of the RF.You have to be ‘poor’ then they can feel sorry for you.
How much cash or status you have should never be a requirement for sympathy.
There is no defence for DB’s actions.

You certainly have no need to defend your grandchildren against me. I didn't actually know this was about your grandchildren tbh.

Thought we were discussing the merits or otherwise of a tweet.

I bloody hope you're not referring to me as a racist CrazyH.

No idea what the left wing/right wing thing is about.

But I do know daytime GN is bound to be a very narrow cross section of society. ie All thinking along the same lines.

I have news for all the racists here (if any) ....in about 100 years there will be no 'pure' British.....with all the inter racial marriages, mixed race children.........all my 6 grandchildren are mixed race. So too, some of my friends.

What most of these opinions are based on

Care to elaborate what you mean by that? Because on the face of it it seems as if you're attempting to dismiss his out and out racism by claiming it's simply because people don't like DB.

agree Ellan, and think that very left wing people simply do not care if the ‘victims’ are Royal or wealthy

What a bizarre comment. What is a very left wing person?

Baggs can't believe you framed those two pics together!!!

No idea if this is going along left wing/right wing lines but
GoneGirl and trisher seem to be the only posters on here defending the awful DB.
Just rather hard to see why they are doing so.
I am a Republican btw but think racism needs calling out wherever you find it.

CrazyH says "Never liked Danny Baker".

Yes, and that's what most of these opinions are based on. (wouldn't want you lot on a jury!) (no previous offences to be taken into consideration)

Gonegirl I have seen the picture but wouldn't dream of spreading it around because that would make me as bad as the person who initiated it.

I think it is spiteful, cruel, racist and all those things. I would not like to be associated with those attitudes.

However, as you are defending his actions, very naively in my opinion, you clearly see nothing wrong in circulating this.

You and Trisher seem to be in the minority on here. I wonder if you would find it offensive if you had mixed race grandchildren.

Never liked Danny Baker?

The caption was "royal baby leaves hospital" so its obvious who he was referring to. The man's an idiot.

Sparklefizz the picture is in the Metro newspaper. I daresay it will be in other newspapers too. It's hardly hush hush. And if you don't see the picture, how can you judge properly?

lemon are you saying that the for and against DB is dividing simply on left/right lines? You know that is not an accurate reflection of what is going on here ffs, Stop stirring wth comments like that.

......do you really think a picture like that shown in the context of a child with mixed race parents, whether famous or not, is not racist?

Elllen No one has disagreed with that statement.

I agree Ellan, and think that very left wing people simply do not care if the ‘victims’ are Royal or wealthy.
Double standards indeed.
Glad the awful DB was sacked.

I suppose regarding the is it/isn't it racist comment ask yourself would you go to the bother of finding that image and then press send and think it was a funny thing to do?
