So you saying that everyone that found it racist is a racist because they saw a monkey and immediately thought of a black person?

Have to agree AD. I'd gladly take lessons on style from the little chap.

Cecil could borrow his outfit. Might win Nat back.

He isn’t stupid and knew what he was doing. He’s lived a media life surrounded by super-liberal people and 100% knew that it could be construed as racist. Racist or not, he’s a fucking idiot.

Yes. He's got some nerve saying he's been thrown under the bus.

What a life he's lead though, I thoroughly recommend his three autobiographies.

They're very good. Bought them on Audible to listen to on my walks. Didn't Peter Kay appear in a televised version?

Yes. Cradle To Grave. Peter Kay did his best Dick Van Dyke impression in it. Worth watching though.

He answered the door in his slippers Bonce, was reading today that it's got so bad now that Les Dawson would not be allowed on stage or TV because of his mother in law fat jokes, they would be classed as a hate crime now, i'm getting sick of this shit.

They probably couldn't even get away with this now.

My mother has seen the chimp picture, and calmly informed me that she has a photo of me in exactly the same coat.
She added insult to injury by saying the chimp looked better.
I might go and have a look. Might even post it on here.

I think Danny Baker is a complete idiot, and there is no way he didn't know what he was doing. If he didn't, then he's a bigger idiot than I first thought.
For me the offensive part is that he makes a direct reference to the royal baby, and likening him to a chimp is wrong. I don't think he was actually being racist.

I've sent, and received, insulting birthday cards with a chimp on the cover. The implication is clear. I sent one to an ex work colleague a couple of weeks ago.
Had that ex colleague been black, I wouldn't have sent it, for obvious reasons.
We have football supporters still throwing bananas and making monkey noises, so a little thought would have saved him all this grief.
