Moving on from he Worthing open air love scene, I’ve seen two pretty prominent Tweeters plug crowd funders in the past few days, one or a new laptop, one for help to avoid a miserable month. Social media and crowd funding has created a grifter class who will say anything to get a bit of cash.

Danny Baker's been sacked by the BBC. Tower of London awaits.

And a nation of white, male football fans protests that what he sent out wasn't racist (it was a picture of a chimp dressed as a baby with the caption "royal baby").

Whether you think it was racist or not, it's pretty hard to believe Baker's argument that he didn't even consider the possibility it could be seen that way. The guy has been a broadcaster and journalist for 30-odd years - he was fully aware.

Right.  At the very, very best it's monumentally stupid.  The BBC had no other option.  I like Danny Baker and his show, but he deserved it.  Talksport will take him, gladly.  Their audience seem to like that sort of thing.
