Yet Saville got a pass

Just seeing a chimp as somehow reptesenting black people I find baffling. I'm sure Danny Baker does not make the connection either and meant no offence. He should have realised though that others would. A mistake I feel so I think he does deserve the benefit of the doubt.

The mental gymnastics here deserve a gold medal
Black footballers routinely subject to monkey chants
Banana's thrown onto the pitch...I mean C'MON!
'I'm sure Baker does not make the connection'....
......HE'S A SPORTS JOURNALIST..... -
His employer
@5liveSport widely reported on the experience of England players being subject to Monkey Chants in March 2019 (2019, yo...2 months ago!) https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p074l3jy … (HERE's a Link)

If you posted that it would be headline news on the BBC. Danny is a plastic lefty though.

It was headline news.

He posted it and it was headline news and he was sacked. If JHB posted it she'd get another call up to Question Time.

Didn't see that one in a while. The 'Everybody else is doing it' defense.

The difference is Baker has tweeted it in poor judgement and Julia has tweeted it to highlight the catastrophe. It’s news worthy and can be shown without offence in the right context.

In what way does this invalidate my point?

Can I reuse Andy’s gif here? If only I knew how

So you have no answer. I like that.

Don’t suck all the fun out of this. This isn’t a back and forth of grand retorts and about who gets the last word. Or maybe you can prove me wrong
