• Genuine question - what is the joke meant to be? I really don't understand what's the reason for the chimp, if it's not meant to be racist.

    Not sure either way if it was deliberately intended to be racist. But I don't understand the joke if it isn't. Is it that they're all wearing posh old fashioned clothes?

  • He says it was a comment on the baby being paraded like a circus animal and also that the parents/baby are posh.

    As I understand, he has no previous for being considered a racist. If so, you've got to say that if his intent was that this was his great unveil as a massive racist, it's a pretty brazen way to do it. Considering he instantly removed it, rather than attempt any kind of double down, kinda reinforces that this was simply a mistake.

    No doubt he could have apologised better, the reference to "diseased minds" and "his turn in the barrel" were unnecessary, but still, the sacking seems pretty harsh.
