Ever heard of Prince Philip? Yes. He's made a few (what some would call) politically incorrect comments in his time. Do you believe he's racist then?

Do you really think nobody has reacted differently than if it was a white English rose? Seriously? Even comedians, including black comedians, have joked about it. The look on their faces at Meghan’s entertainment at the wedding was funny for a start.

Bakers latest comments on the matter He wrote: "Following one of the worst days of my life I just want to formally apologise for the outrage I caused and explain how I got myself into this mess. "I chose the wrong photo to illustrate a joke. Disastrously so. "In attempting to lampoon privilege and the news cycle I went to a file of goofy pictures and saw the chimp dressed as a Lord and thought, 'That's the one!' Had I kept searching I might have chosen General Tom Thumb or even a a baby in a crown. But I didn't. God knows I wish had. "Minutes later I was alerted by followers that this royal baby was of course mixed race and waves of panic and revulsion washed over me... What had I done? "I needed no lessons on the centuries slurs equating simians and people of colour. Racism at it's basest. 'Crass and regrettable blunder' He added: "Anyway I am now paying the price for this crass and regrettable blunder and rightly so. Probably even this final word from me will extend the mania. ('Dog whistle' anyone?) I would like to thank friends on here for their kinder words and once again - I am so, so sorry."

Unfortunately for Baker this apology won't appease the perpetually offended morons who are offended at everything & everyone f*** Em

imagine him tugging his forelock to royalty/upper classes, something he used to be proud not to do. Shame on him for his kowtowing.

Deserved to be sacked,his calling my mixed race niece's and nephew and all black and mixed race people a chimp as well as the duke and dutchess new born. We shouldn't be surprised by this considering the scum bag racist club he supports. Well done the BBC.

I don't know if you are aware of how whites are treated outside of Europe but unless they have money.....it isn't pretty. The 'it's racist' crew are building a disenfranchisement and conflict future for their children and coming generations.

We shouldn't be surprised by this considering the scum bag racist club he supports. Well done the BBC. The point is that he didn’t. It was very very naive to think that people would get what he meant rather than what most of us thought. Do you really think he’d risk his career posting a monkey for a black person, knowing he’d be finished? Edited by Rudi Hedman (10 May 2019 3.42pm)

Doubt he'll be claiming the dole. Often I care about the PC brigade hounding people out. This time, I just don't feel that sorry for Danny Boy.
