Danny Baker should be sacked immediately

SirC, you are apparently better informed about how well-informed DB is than some of us.

Gone - the likes of DB? You mean people who post racist tweets? Yeah, I'm not really that keen on that sort of person.

Oh God Bags I have!!!

Thanks, iam. Glad you understand. No problem that you disagree.

Probably Baggs - that can't be hard given some of you.

'ang on Search. Lost me place...

So have I, Gone, when I was twelve!!

No. I meant these silly people they put on the radio and tv that think they are funny when they are just no.

Me too Gone

I'm offski anyway - my youngest is complaining he's hungry so I'd better go and throw him a crust

Cut the scoffing, SirC. People are allowed to be different. You also don't know why I avoid too much spoken and visual media.

that ws to Search

Yes. My DH is making noises. sigh

He's only 12 so I don't trust him with sharp knives

Oh! I've just got your "Search", gone!

No. I don't trust my current tormenter either. He's only 75.

I think...

Of course he’s had the PR people in. They would have been up all night drafting that statement and telling him where to make the breaks so it would fit within the Twitter word limit. They probably tweeted it for him in fact . to prevent any mishaps. What a snivelling whinging manchild he’s shown himself to be.

If you know anything about Danny Baker he isn't a PR person.One of the reasons people like him is because he tends to speak out about whatever he likes. As I said before it isn't the first time he's been sacked or quit and he always bounces back because the high ups know he brings in the audiences.
Oh and he's quite capable of writing his own press releases. He is a writer as well as a broadcaster you know. I wish people would take the time to learn something about the man they are criticising.

Danny Baker sounds more like Donald Trump e wry time you tell we simple folks more about him trisher.

Yes I know he’s a writer etc etc etc that doesn’t stop him having had the PR people in. And I know he’s been sacked three times by the BBC and I know he’s a man child

Yep. You're right trisher. I don't actually know much about him, but as you describe him I think I might, in fact, like him.

I think the latest apology on twitter is coming from a man who has had a chance to think about it all.

What does it matter if Baker smilingly hands out autographs
And says it like it is ( as it appears to himself, anyway) ......yes, come to think of it, just like The Donald.
Seriously, how can anyone think what he did is alright, it’s mind boggling!
First, he posted the pic and caption, then, when even his followers pointed out that it wasn’t on to do that, he deleted it, then he made light of the whole thing and had a rant at the BBC, then, at long last gave out a proper apology ( who wrote that is a matter for speculation) but it was done no doubt with his future prospects in mind.

Have you never done anything that people who know you well, and like you, criticised, lemon? Criticism from his "followers" could well have been what made him sit down and think properly and admit that he'd behaved like an eejit (or even a racist).

Couldn't it?

Like most other things, this is not a black and white with no grey areas topic.
