Of course, Trolls are one thing.
But this excellent and highly experienced broadcaster made a basic, uncharacteristic and serious error.
And rightly was given the red card.
He simply fell for the bait - for an obvious line/tack/route.
Which better professionals were avoiding the plaque.

Nothing to do then with what be said/posted - and about which he's not very proud?
The BBC thought his remarks were unacceptable and crass - and so do most.
It would be difficult not to understand his meaning - which he admits, and apologises for.

Correct!!!!!!
What he said was that he used the image without thinking about any possible racist connection but when it was pointed out to him he of course saw the problem/issue and deleted the tweet but by that time it had been retweeted and was in the public domain
