He attacked 100s and 100s of people either deliberately or inadvertently. Nether is forgivable. [/quote] Interesting how forgiving and understanding posters on this board are towards certain crimes and misunderstandings but not others I have known Danny Baker for many years and he isn't a racist. He likes poking fun and has no time for the rich and privelged who only have family money as a defining characteristic. His explanation (which i believe) is that he wanted to make a joke about the royal baby and looked in his library of many funny images to use for a twitter post. He never took time to think of how inappropriate the use of the chimp was given Megan's heritege. He knew about Megan being mixed race but he is a busy man and at that moment he didn't stop and make the connection. I can see how that happened. What I can't see is how that makes him racist or how a mistake like that isn't forgiveable
