Originally posted by Galv Danny Baker, Millwall fan pleading ignorance about the connotations of monkeys being seen as racist. What was the point of the tweet. Against rich people? Against Royals? Against Harry and Megan? Against the newborn baby? Anyone got an idea? He's lived through times when monkey chants and bananas were thrown at black players...still happening in 2019 in some countries and then says I didn't realise what I was doing would offend,everyone is out to get me. A mixed race child is born into the world and one of the first things said about it is absolutely horrendous. I'm afraid that you lose any moral high ground that you may think you deserve by your ridiculous generalisation that Danny Baker must be a racist as he is a Millwall fan. Did you go around rioting, looting and setting fire to property eight years ago during the London riots as it's a fairly common thought amongst other club's fans that all Palace fans did?

If DB really intended the picture to be racist, it would make far more sense for him to have used a photo of an orangutan surely, given Harry being a ginger? removes tongue from cheek A stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell give some indication of expected traffic numbers

Originally posted by Teddy Eagle And now the police are investigating his tweet. Good to see they are adequately resourced to sort out important matters. Somebody has made a complaint of racist abuse to the police, therefore they are obliged to investigate it. What would you have them do; disregard accusations brought to them? I suspect the police will conclude that there is no case to answer, but they have to follow due process. Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

Originally posted by Rudi Hedman He’s ignorant and completely sheltered from anyone not like him, as will most of his family be, down to his great grandchildren. I don’t like to tarnish people with being racist without being very sure but he’s certainly come out some ignorant and xenophobic comments and I think a few that people would deem racist, but probably fall in thevery ignorant category.

Danny Baker has lost his job over a joke so what other penalty should he applied?

It’s straight into full attack. I prefer to consider all possibilities, which is why I went from. 1. ‘I can’t believe he’s tweeted that.’ To 2. This is too obviously racist. He must’ve done it for a reason knowing this. Exiting his contract is possible. To 3. No that’s a bit unlikely seeing how mental it’s gone. His statements and comments on camera sound very genuine, and why would someone tweet this if they intended it to be with the racist connotation? Again, career and reputation suicide. COYP
