It's gone Tips up for Mr Baker

Oh, and there's Harrison Ford

Who?

something something blade runner

I believe that somebody can do something really bad and then change. I was illinformed about Baddiel.

Baddiel did something repeatedly, under intense criticism, that was racist and directly harmed others. Unforgivable.

What a lovely chap you are.

Couldn't he just find a photo of a baby lizard in a suit for accuracy?

Billy Connolly used to have a whole routine about the surname-as-firstname brigade. It's long been an upper class thing.

Don't expect me to kiss your tip when you're wagging your cock in my face.

Hope that helps.

Was Lord Sugar sacked (by the bbc) after this racist tweet?

I think he’s been fired for being anti royal rather than racist. It’s generally OK to be a screaming racist at the beeb but dare to dis the royals and you’re out.

I'd love to try some of the stuff you are smoking !
When did you EVER see the BBC being anything other than screaming multi-culturalists ??

Congrats to DB; always knew he was a 1st class witless cunt, now he's proven it.

It’s literally the post before yours.

Give the guy another series.

Geoff Lloyd filling the 9-11am slot on Saturday morning.

Oh well.

The clues were always there.

I know Danny Baker isn't everyone's cup of tea but I struggle to have an opinion on him one way or the other. I've seen/heard some of his stuff that I have found amusing and interesting and I have also heard him do stuff that has just sounded like laddish braying but, I do not ever recall him being racist or bigoted in the past.

Is there something I'm missing or is this tweet and sacking a "self contained" story?

I don’t (and can’t) know if he’s racist but this was a massive error of judgment and he’s handled it badly.

Pretty sure that’ll be the final word on it from anyone, yes?

Has anyone been following the Venezuela crisis? I don’t think I’ve ever seen such biased reporting on the BBC. This is a good article on the current state of play

Meanwhile, here’s the US puppet in waiting

BTW, the show after Danny Baker on Saturday mornings ends with a game called “Defend the Indefensible”.

Remember when Prince Harry dressed up as a Nazi and got fired?

Reporting on Venezuela is usually pretty risible, but this round has been particularly disgusting: fawning over Guaido; uncritically accepting of whatever bullshit comes out of the trump administration; completely unwilling to challenge the official line. Sadly it’s totally predictable - the adversarial press is mostly non-existent when it comes to challenging imperial power.

yeesh

Lol. As if someone’s Grandfather wrote the copy.

Delta is proud to give every full-time employee a 3% raise in 2018, continuing a very positive trend. This is the sixth pay increase in the past five years. We’re also happy to introduce a progression plan for Ready Reserves that matches the CSA scale.

A whole 3%! That might even be a percent above inflation in some places.

I mean to be fair, my pay increase from last year didn't even match inflation, so in real terms I'm getting less.
