Stellaboz Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Oh god it's a mix race sort of joke. Or that's how people want to take it because it's taboo. I thought it was just about another royal baby and a light hearted monkey picture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 PC brigade need to get a grip. It was ill advised but how can you say it was definitely racist intent.Pity as his show was pretty good. Seems like a nice guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I heard him on a doorstep interview say that he wasn't aware that it was Meghan and Harry who'd had a baby, just that there had been a royal baby born. Unless he deliberately wanted out of his BBC contract, it kinda feels like the only reason why he would post the pic and think it was okay. I'm going to miss the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Doing a racism. Whatever his protestations of innocence, it is the perception and not the intention that gets you in trouble.Maybe people should’ve perceived it differently then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmothecat2 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I doubt he would have got fired had he just apologised properly, instead of the wishy washy non-apology he did issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I've had a sore back for the last week so I went for a sauna at lunchtime today to try and loosen it up. When I was there, one of my fellow sauna patrons was having what appeared to be a manic episode. He was talking constantly for about 20-25 minutes, talking about conspiracy theories, the Rothchilds, the Illumati, claiming that we are all a number, that you declare yourself a freeman on the land, that space is a photoshop job etc. It was a bit odd and I just nodded along. What do you do in that sort of situation? Also, now that I've had 20-30 minutes in the sauna my eyes have been watering all afternoon, people think I'm crying at my desk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that sort of sauna, you dirty dog. I felt bad for the guy, he was clearly a bit unwell. At one point he said he mentioned psychiatric care, I think he's obviously been unwell. Hopefully, he's OK, getting out and doin grelatively normal stuff like going for the pool and sauna will help. He mentioned he didn't drink alcohol as it was a poison that controls your mind so I'm fairly sure that it wasn't the throbber. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
