Police investigate Danny Baker's royal baby tweet

He described the controversy as"one of the worst days of my life" and said he made a"genuine, naive and catastrophic mistake".

"The picture in context as presented was obviously shamefully racist. It was never intended so - seriously who on earth would 'go there'?", Baker wrote.He tweeted:"The call to fire me from @bbc5live was a masterclass of pompous faux-gravity. "Took a tone that said I actually meant that ridiculous tweet and the BBC must uphold blah blah blah. Literally threw me under the bus. Could hear the suits knees knocking."

In a statement announcing Baker had been fired, a BBC spokesman said:"This was a serious error of judgement and goes against the values we as a station aim to embody.Prince Harry and Meghan, whose mother is African American,

Sorry, wat a waste of public money. R there not enuf stabbings to sort out.. It's an easy collar that's why...

Danny Baker owned his ignorance and lessons were learned. Case closed.

Way over the top, wouldnt they be better off putting there efforts into fighting knife crime in london.

Not being funny but that picture looks a bit like a gorilla beating his chest

FFS leave him alone and do some proper policing you know the stuff you’re paid to do.

it must be caged this sadist

The ten fatal or close to knifings a week in London a week might be a better use of their time getagrip

UK police are bored 🤣

The sacking of Danny Baker is ludicrous. He said he was sorry for sending a very funny tweet and it is feckin funny . We dont all nearly fall over ourselves because another royal sprogg is presented. As a Republican I am totally indifferent to any satirical blurbs .

People getting murdered daily, budgets at rock bottom and all our police want to do is investigate a tweet, then when they’ve finished they’ll sit at the side of the motorway for 5 hours waiting for 1 person to be doing 85mph.

I'm no supporter of Baker, but this is absurd.

The people who are angry are the ones who truly associate POCs with monkeys.

Knife crime resource?

He doesn't deserve this...

About time.

Kids being stabbed up and down the country, but fuck them, lets get to the bottom of this tweet. Its not enough we have to pay the Royal family's way, now we're wasting police resources on this shit.

They need to catch the criminals,not involve themselves in this crap.

Seriously

Shouldn’t be much of an investigation given it is a tweet on Twitter. Any problems ask any virgin Liverpool fan. They find nasty tweets faster than anybody else.

Ridiculous. He ain't Adam Johnson ffs.

Dear god really ....!! There’s a lot more hatred being spouted on a daily basis out there that goes unchallenged !

Good job, U.K.! Forget about all of that silly “knife crime”; instead, make sure you investigate & prosecute a guy who has already paid the price and been fired for doing something stupid. LiteralThoughtPolice

Investigating this !! He's been fired...he's lost his job... let the police do their job regarding crime. This sticks and stones crap is just ridiculous. ❄ society

I love prodnose,yes it was a bit outdated what he posted and in the world we now live wrong,but I don’t believe it was racist or malicious,he has once again been sacked from the BBC,that should be the end of it

He looks more like an ape in his pose. White people always pull that 💩. They fail to look in the mirror at all those folds of lose skin. What does it look like, is it something we should make fun of?

Cant we just hang him? or do the hand wringing liberals want more?

A public apology just isn't enough now! There will now be an inquiry on how someone accidently put them words and a picture together which has, caused irreversible damage to society, while costing ££££ in wasted police time. Priorities, how so much have they changed!

The man is an idiot and taking us for fools

Jesus Christ ffs man has apologised

The country is completely divided on brexit but what we can all agree on is that this is a complete was of time and money

Why, it wasn’t illegal. Comedy shouldn’t be censored, if he chose to be an idiot and post an inappropriate joke that’s his problem and he should suffer the consequences and has done.

It’s was a silly tweet for heaven sake. The Police should be looking at genuine crimes, like knife attack’s

Good job knife crime, gang violence, car jackings, muggings, burglaries, drug crime etc etc are all under control 👍🏼

..and the police are being starved of funding.....?

How about investigating real crime

Something you would expect from the Gestapo

He can say what he likes unless he was spaced out he new exactly what he was doing

George Orwell’s ghost visited me last night and told me the sequel to 1984 should start with the hanging of Danny Baker for treason! Welcome to the future!

Is this a joke?

For fks sake. Have the police got nothing better to do?

JohnnyMercerUK yet won't investigate the Defence Ministers sacking!! something stinks in No10!

What’s it this time. TheNannyPolice. He knows he’s done wrong. Just let it go. Think a sacking is enough punishment. End of!!!!!

He won't get charged, his name isn't TommyRobinson

So what is there to investigate? Stupid and childish but you don’t need a veteran super Intendant to tell you that

But no investigation into Alan Sugars racist Tweet ? how very strange but i am sure we all know the reason behind that ? 😉

He made a mistake, apologised and got sacked - is this fair enough punishment? When the police have been stripped to the bones in both officer numbers and stations prospective I would rather that they were focusing on crime solving and prevention rather than cases like this....

Danny Baker,you should be ashamed of what you did, especially after what Harry as been through losing his mam

While their at it...

The man's been sacked. Rightly. For goodness sake Mr policeman, investors some real crime!

This kind of thing does the police no favours. We’re told there’s no money/resources to investigate ‘so called’ low level crimes like shoplifting/burglary/anti social behaviour, which really impact lives, but they can find both to investigate this shit! Thoughts NormanBrennan ?

And went to his front door.. Shame on you

Which police? The London Metropolitan Police, the liberal facist police? This story is fake, the real police wouldn't be interested.

Absolutely ridiculous

It's PG gone mad

Ridiculous.

MJRowe2 IF he did it from a bbc laptop and the IT dept found other right wing stuff it’s unlikely it was inadvertent. Just saying

This is getting silly now, he made a mistake, he paid the price and he apologized... let it drop

Ring the police if you get burgled you'll be lucky if they come out to you but post anything that offends on social media and they're on it like a shot

Really, haven't they got anything better to do! What is the world coming too 🤔

It would appear Danny is of the opinion that some racism is more acceptable than others.

Oh ffs really?

Police? Really? Somethings gone badly wrong if this is wasting valuable police time. 😠

Isn't high time the Metropolitan police focused their attention on the unacceptable levels of knife crime in the capital?

Danny Bakers house right now!

Imagine policing for likes and retweets. What a country we are.

This Danny Baker is elderly,yet a fool.

Another excellent use of police resources, thank fuck no one is getting stabbed out there, no wait.....

I just wish that we could live in a world, where everyone can get on with each. This planet is going crazy. What happened to the jokes and free spirit we have. Fed up to my back teeth with not being able to say what you want.

Leave him alone he’s been sacked for a daft tweet he’s been thrown on the fire already

Ok, it was vile and disgusting and he deserves to lose his job, but this is the point where it becomes an overstep. You’ve got Tommy Robinson standing for office but this is an arrestable offence? 🤡🌍

Does anybody know the Police involved, and what other important work they have done at the same time?

Why bother? He has lost his job, he has been revealed a liar and racist. His world has fallen apart!!! What more punishment can he be given? Let him now face the world!

Baker was monumentally stupid & has paid the price for his racist tweet. Why is metpoliceuk wasting allegedly scarce resources pursuing this? Their cries over funding & staffing are moot when they continually engage in such stunts.

Is this why they are unable to investigate my burglary

People are murdered not enough police time something he should not have said and has been punished enough time

Oh FFS, there’s youth being stabbed all over the place and the Met want to waste police resources on this? He’s been sacked now, that should be it, case closed! 🙄

Wow that took all of 2 minutes to start an investigation, wonder how those little girls in Rotherham and elsewhere feel about the efficiency and rapidity of the police investigating a....tweet. Bravo, 👏 police priorities are right on blob.... not👍

Bit of a waste police time no 🤷🏻‍♀️ he apologised got sacked let them concentrate on people being stabbed

Oh come on. Really!?! The police Time, money and resources that are scarce enough to investigate this. Enough of this.

It’s the same has that guy burning that tower block on a bonfire .. it’s wrong in today world

You have to be Royal or of high society or be in the media eye to get Justice. All the best to the baby whatever the colour. And to Danny Baker, well he's supposed to set an example. He deserves to be burned at the stake. Hung drew and quartered. It's a mad world we live in.

THOUGHTPOLICE Room101 RIP DannyBaker BBC

Ludicrous! What a waste of public resources and the police are short of money!!!!!!!!!

I thought they were short staffed. Investigate some real crimes.

Really🙄

What a joke. Wish the police could have investigated or taken any notice when my sons had knives held up to them (on separate occasions). Never mind because 'someones feelings are hurt' we will take police away from the deaths our kids are causing on our streets!

This country is Fucking embarrassing

Lol, remember when that bloke got prosecuted for teaching his dog a nazi salute? That was just the start, now you can be arrested for a mistake. 1984 is closer than anyone could have imagined

Haven’t the police got more important things to do...🤨

This is getting beyond a joke!

Oh come now...

Words on a screen

I took it more that it was prodding fun at the jug lugs then any racial connotations. But what do I know I'm white and not a sjw. The police looking at it is purely showing over sensitive world we live in. We will be the death of our selves.

He made a mistake, admitted it and apologized. Snowflakes need to get over themselves

For what....?

Whatever it takes to conceal widespread bigotry i guess

Ok Danny Baker is a tit, always has been, but this is taking it too far. Who the hell got the police involved? , the perpetually offended twitter twatters no doubt, idiots !

What a waste of money.

Of course can’t go and get criminals as the police get prosecuted for touching those...

You are kidding?

His out of order

Unbelievable, and the police bleat about shortages of officers and money, sheesh.

What a waste of police resources!

Political correctness within the Police force is ridiculous

'investigate'?....WTF is there to investigate? Seriously, what would plod do? 'Er, I've looked at the tweet in question, and when I stopped larfin' meself daft, I , er, concluded that it was indeed...a tweet.'

He made a big mistake. He has rightly paid the price and issued a grovelling apology. Don’t let it hang over him for the rest of his life... At a time when resources are limited, please focus on real issues such as knife crime - not a witch hunt.

And yet when the father of the baby was seen wearing a swastika it didn't interest the police at all.

Lynch mob at it again ! What a waste of taxpayers money investigating this .

What a waste of taxpayers money concentrate on knife crime that’s more important FFS.

We need a minister of common sense as this is a total waste of police resources...what is there to investigate we know he did it he has admitted it

Black people also pay taxes in this country therefore racists must be investigated by the police as racism is a crime in this country! Is not a waste of police, is police complying with law!

Crime is crime!Do you know racism is a crime in the UK?So why shouldn’t he be investigated? How is the police acting on a crime a waste?Just the racist who see racism as a lesser of a crime say the police is wasting time! Repeat with me: RACISM is a crime! Plus Danny is lying

Utter bollocks.

Ffs. Why aren’t you investigating the muppets in Downing Street for lying to the people

He knew what he was doing.

How utterly ridiculous!

This is crazy. It was crass and stupid and he was rightly sacked but it's not a police matter

What a waste of Police time. The internet has created a world of snowflakes

They should get the Madeleine McCann investigators on it. Maybe they can get a free holiday out of it

How about the important stuff like knife crime ffs

Why am I not surprised. ' Shall we go investigate a real crime? Nah let's just waste our time investigating an insulting tweet'

Lmao

I'd argue that perhaps Danny Baker's tweet is evidence that he doesn't see Meghan as very black at all. Her features are extremely white and she had the most expertly done extensions on her hair when presenting the baby. Her white side is very strong, and Danny is simply a dumbo

No other crimes that need looking into then fine crack on.... But

Seriously!! With police resources as they are, do you really think this is an effective use of police time and public money

Funny how people get so protective over the royals that they feel a distasteful joke to be so offence that they have to report it to the police. What a snowflake society we live in.

Will they also be investigating Prince Phillips past comments. Losing your job is punishment enough.

The whole investigation should involve a very quick look a the photo, a mild chuckle/shake of the head, then a swift move on to actual crime.

I take it all the knife crime in London is sorted now then ?

The police should be investigated for wasting police time

Ridiculous.

The PC brigade have gone too far on this! Next we will hear that the BBC are banning the Snooker as its always the white hitting the black and not viz versa.

He's a bit of a cock but a police investigation, behave

Read the quote from the Met. Someone has made an allegation. Not the police. If you want to criticise, look to where the complaint originates. Clickbait headline.

What about all the stabbings? People are dying!

What a bloody waste of resources and the cost is?

Thought there were no resources/funding....pathetic..get on the streets and do something beneficial

Have the police got nothing better to do. With all the knife crime going on in London and across the country.

His wife & kids have had death threats. Investigate that

Don’t like the guy.. glad he lost his job but that’s just ridiculous! 😂

FFS

Waste of time and resources.... UK joke police?..... deal with Knife crime!

The WORLD is turning into shite

A stupid, racist & insensitive tweet by DB. He apologised & lost his job. What’s to investigate.I actually think DB has some mental issues & just didn’t think.He’s had cancer so been through a lot.Surely there’s nothing to investigate, they can’t give him a prison sentence.

Really...😳 shame the Police didn’t pester Prince Harry about him wearing the Nazi uniform or pester Prince Phillip about him with his dangerous driving...?🤔 Funny how the wheels of the ones with money ... works...🙄

Have they not got real criminals to catch ?

Oh but I thought the police over stretched and under resourced..... 🤔

What an absolute waste of police resources!!

‘Police investigate’ - ridiculous metpoliceuk

Danny what’s your mirror tell you every day? Don’t tell anybody he looks like a chimpanzee if you know it’s the vision of yourself every time look yourself in the mirror.🤔

Poor police having to deal with this nonsense

One for Poirot

So if to be black with a university degree,been ambassador for UN,already millionaire,and thanks to Mother Nature gorgeous,has a chance to met royalty and married him they called their-baby chimpanzee. My question is what about you Danny ?

What a joke

Oh Danny boy

Colchester zoo investigates using a picture of one of their monkeys.

The police are now an irrelevance, ticking the racism box is much easier than working up a sweat chasing cons up the street.Bring back The Sweeney,no PC crap with Jack Regan.

Oh Danny!

Gees! Lighten up.

What is there to investigate? It's all out there in the open. No UCO needed here.

It’s not like the murder rate in London is out of control or anything but we have the Police wasting time on Danny Baker

And why has the police released this? Other potential ‘crimes’ don’t get given a heads up to the media...

On Twitter there is nasty replies, bad language and fake accounts. I personally asked Twitter close fake Royal account to protect public and Royals no action was taken. It’s doesn’t seems nice Royal Sussex. We all should be respectful and treated equally .

Ridiculous waste of resources.

Haven’t they got better things to do?

Police got nothing better to do, what is the country coming to.

Ffs they should have other/better things to do !

Why waste police time over something so stupid. They don't investigate when white people are subjected to racism. So political correctness gone mad. Fed up with it

Ffs 🤦‍♂️

I wonder who made the complaint. For the police to investigate, a complaint has to be made.

He’s not a racist. He just forgot how sensitive everything has got. In fact ppl saying he’s racist are racist. He was poking fun at the royals but ppl are assuming that it is at Megan.

A waste of police time

Why waste police time and money WE all know Danny baker is a loud mouth opinionated know it all The investigation should be why do people still employ him ? I almost forgot about him untill this . Any publicity

Investigate what! Yeah I have an idea let’s waste our time and resources on this because we don’t need the resources to tackle knife crime, rape, or Murder! Get back to policing and stop this waste of tax payers money! He apologised move on!

We're loosing the plot .. They'd be better off investigating our brexit negotiators .. As to what they've been up to for the past 3 years ..! DannyBaker

The police are just being funny with this one.

A really stupid error of judgement on DB part. He was fired. He's apologised. His career will take a battering and that should be it. The Police should be doing other things.

Oh no Danny has offended the chimp. Let’s have concert. Let’s hold hands. Was the chimp called bubbles but it wanted to be known as bubble. 😀

Have the MetPoliceEvents not got better more worthwhile things that are in the public interest to be sorting?

He is playing stupid...he isnt playing stupid-HE IS! Posterboy for IGNORANCE and HATRED-NO ADDED VALUE MEMBER OF SOCIETY

Oh ffs when did this country become so ridiculous!

Give us a break. As a tax payer I find that outrageous waste ang gross reaction to a simple mistake, albeit a broadcaster, but still human error. take it it’s the PC police!

Ah yes the police ...yes i have faith ,i mean 280 vidoes footage from the BBC/Sly Sports - onboard cameras & the spanners who uploaded said 200 odd vids of them smashing up Man citys team bus - but theres no evidence the bus was attacked ,may as well go after prodnose ,morons

I hate this country sometimes. Leave the poor guy alone!

For fuck sake - if this wasn’t a royals baby - nobody would. Be giving a shit

It was a joke that went badly wrong and was indeed borderline racist. However, I don’t think the police need to get involved, the man has lost his job, been slandered in the media and so, lets move on, please.

Why? It was a mistake by a comedian from a time when such jokes where acceptable but are not now. Haven't the alleged overworked police not got more pressing cases to investigate like knife crimes or violence surrounding illegal hunting in our countryside? He apologised

FFS

What is there to investigate

RIDICULIOUS WAIST OF RESOURCES

prodnose ...Meanwhile in the real world !

This is outrageous this is our ' police' who protect Royal pedophiles and don't respond to series crimes .

Offending someone is a more serious crime than assaulting them these days.

Nothing better to do?

People make mistakes. Move on get over it. The media circus he was describing has just proved itself.

Meanwhile victims of burglary, violence and theft get a phone call if they are lucky, and added to statistics

Yet DavidLammy can call everyone and anyone racist, facist, Nazis and he doesn’t get anywhere near the outrage bestowed on him that Danny Baker has endured.

How frequent is someone stabbed to death again?

Nothing better to do obvs..... 😡😡😡

Can’t they do there real job more people stabbed in London last night

Unbelievable suppose there cant be any real crimes going on in the capital to investigate

Why are the police investigating? This whole this is dragging on and on! Danny is a racist we get it 🙄

I’m sure they’ve got loads more important things to investigate FFS 🙈

Your having a laugh. All the nasty things going on on twitter and they investigate that? Unbelievable!

Did they investigate Boris in the same way?

Bloody ridiculous he has been sacked humiliated on tv for being a bloody idiot but police have enough to do without wasting resources and money on this they don’t turn up for most crimes now enough is enough

I thought there was a shortage of police numbers?

Your joking have they got nothing better to do and the money must be rolling in to afford this no money wat a laugh

And you make sure your pic makes him look like he’s doing a monkey impression..

Pathetic

Royalty is bullshit

Haha. Police are only investigating because they HAVE TO. Someone laid a complaint. Nothing will happen. No crime committed. And Baker's explanation about the royals as posing circus animals is credible.

What about the Goverment minister who leaked Security Council information .. no way.. policescotland

Throw him in a jail then throw away the key.

Paul42980402 Therefore the police should be all over Farage and his buddies...

Who ordered that !!!!

Let's start with MENS REA then the Met can go back to their real jobs! whatawasteoftime

Ffs give it a rest I mean it's not like people are getting shot or knifed and murdered on the streets that it investigate a bad joke because that's all it was 🤬

One silly childish mistake, and they pounce. Same they ain't so quick to investigate the bloody rape gangs ! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Really what a waste of time

Honestly the worlds gone mad .. I think Danny realises what his actions have impacted so just leave it there .... go and spend my tax payers money and catch some real criminals there’s plenty out there 👮‍♀️

Police investigation ffs it’s was an old fellas misjudged attempt at humour for gods sake , get robbed or beaten and the best you’ll get is a crime ref make a misjudged post on social media and the OB are investigating our world is finished

Extra money to find maddie McCann and the security guru, now this ... no wonder this country is a laughing stock

Embarrassing🙄. People like Baker should look at some kind of libel action against this kind of patheticness,would be the only way of stopping it.🇬🇧

Is this a joke?

What is there to investigate ? Our police force really are a laughing stock they’d rather “investigate” tweets cause it’s easier than stopping kids being slashed to death on the lawless streets , Shame on them

bbc5live prodnose so if cleared does he get his job back?

He's been fired and loads of people think he's a knob. Move on, ffs.

are we in 19th centuary

But they let jimmy saville run riot around kids and dead bodies for years...

Pathetic

How many people get stabbed or assaulted in London everyday?

Ridiculous

What about investigations for Farage? jailfarage

Wtf. Waste of time

Good. The idea that one can put online anything that comes to mind regardless of whether it will hurt others or cause trouble needs to be curbed.

Waste of time. It was a joke albeit in bad taste. Get over it.

And yet the police won’t investigate a leak from a national security meeting.

This is the result of the U.Ks obsession with being politically correct , It was a joke for goodness sake!!!

I saw this screenshot and thought it was a meme. Gawsh UK 🤦🏼‍♂️

That's absolutely the right thing for the police to do.

They really should have better things to do.....

Please investigate for no longer than 30 seconds then go back to doing your proper job .... after all , that’s all the time to you give when giving a crime number to a victim of burglary

'Investigate'. If they they need any help, I have the necessary skills.

What a fucking farce

Meanwhile, a 15 year old boy is stabbed to death in East London and another stabbed to death in Southwark and so it goes on. Nothing will come of the Baker enquiry.

Never mind about the real criminals then.

Racism is a REAL crime. Bunch of snowflakes commenting on here !

Good - racism is a crime and he is an absolute idiot ! Even that hat is a crime.... nip racism in the bud especially on social media, arrest him - charge him 👏👏

But the BBC can break the law.. and nothing gets done.. stupid

What's to investigate? What complete waste of money

The number of police officers for policing the internet is never short ,however it seems to be short in numbers or courage to deal with crime & terrorism. Westminster Islamic terrorist attack a police chief hide himself nside a car while others were being stabbed

So we heard, stop repeating yourselves ffs

I find the whole thing pathetic as there is far more to worry about in the world that one fool posting on Twitter.... worry about the billions of tax payers money that has gone to waste on Brexit? After being diagnosed with breast cancer everything is trivial to me getalife

Unforgivable! A grave error of judgement on jokes. No mercy, BBC did well to fire him on the spot.

It was a cooking joke you plant pot . Our government should be in jail and you are sacking DB . You PC Cooking cats

A bad call . But a great shout. Fuck the royals

The prat squad

Boycott the beeb

What.... come on

What happened to freedom of speech

Oh FFS, get a life!

We had some real tossers sneak through in the late seventies like Jonathan King Diane Abbott and Danny Baker. None of them were worth the time of day and should.think theirselves lucky they got as far as they did. The wnkrs 😩

Had the world gone fucking mad

Ridiculous.

So British police can be petty. Wonderful! In Nigeria we waste time chasing Internet scammers, while UK is wasting time chasing gossipers. All hail PoliceNG

Does not matter if they were royalty or the poorest of the poor - that was just totally unacceptable and while I accept he has shown no racism in the past it does reveal perhaps what lies deep in his subconscious...

Because they have nothing better to do. Forget, rape, robbery, murder, stabbings and GBH let's investigate suspected hate crime. Because hurt feelings are more important.

How about investigating the DWP over the forced death of a 81 year old ?

Insensitive YES, stupid YES, investigated by police, ridiculous.

This type of behavior can not be tolerated anywhere in the world!! He should never work for the media after this hurting, tasteless, racist act...

Chimps are not a race!

They only arrest non-celebs, surely !

Shame they didn’t investigate Jimmy Savile so vigorously.

you must be joking what about what the royals get away with

Why? It may have been stupid but it should be a crime. Why waste of police time?

What a joke, do proper police work and stop monitoring free speech.

What exactly are they investigating? Policing tweets and not the streets

It’s a joke.. not racist. Rediculous!

Police did fuck all when my car was broken into twice last year. But they have time for this shit !

It's like the old days when a teacher gave u detention! 😐😐😐 FFs.

Meanwhile.... across the town... while they investigate Danny baker.... A terror group blow's up something!! Then someone drives a van and ploughs down 70 people! FFS!! bloody snowflakes for police! 😐😐😐😐

World has gone mad

Crazy, the guy just made a mistake. The Police are the real joke.

And this guys not suffered enough witch hunt for small fry GetOverIt

Someone makes allegation to met police and they routinely investigate with specialist officers. For a one off occurrence followed by public humiliation. If social media race crime is their remit then the case files on Hopkins, Tommeh, C Benjamin, Griffin etc must be ginormous 🤷‍♀️

Baked

Haven't they got anything better to do

Natty_Shep_PVS

The tweet was appalling, but how is it a matter for the police?

sad to say that the “I’m offended on social media culture” report their hurt and metpoliceuk are required to look into an allegation received... can we report the “I’m offended culture” for the metpoliceuk to waste more time on?

FFS

Horrible man

Well that should prove a fruitless exercise.

Did he misgender the chimp?

Oh c’mon, He was blatantly racist and was fired but police involvement is a step too far.

Really why thou?

What he did was really ugly and a deep seated prejudice act. However, if it was another couple or person he had done it to, would the result be the same high level of attention? We have to be fair and balanced to rid the world of such ugliness done to people of color.

What’s the crime? A little concerning if it’s actually true, that the police would look into this when resources are needed elsewhere for real crimes.

Last one out, turn the lights off.

Not even worth of throwing under a bus

Really !!!! Get a grip min , heard worse on Ricky Gervais Show on Netflix tonight , world gone mad

Bloke puts racist joke in public domain, deletes it, gets the sack, apologises for causing offence. It’s not like he denied all knowledge of it, so I’m curious to know - what is there to “investigate”?

Suppose this happened in middle east, all human rights organizations and free speech defenders will cry for months

What a waste of time, money and valuable police resources which are already stretched.

There are more import crimes to be investigated than a tweet like live crime rape , even if it is racist he was not insighting violence and has lost his job it’s over let the police investigate serous crime not a sixty yr old bloke view of what’s funny

for god sake just leave him alone.

Is hanging next?

The world is on fire and this could’ve a thing

Can we investigate the police for wasting public money with irrelevant 'investigations' like this, which are merely an attempt to bully and intimidate people out of saying anything 'controversial'?

prodnose is such an inoffensive/boring chap I unfollowed him some time ago I felt guilty because I know he's just come through a serious health scare, but boring's boring But now he's a rabid racist, right? Worthy of valuable police time? If you've aided this, shame on you

prince archie 😉

Yeah, sound! Nowt else us going on 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thankfully here in the 🇺🇸 we still have somewhat the freedom of speech.

Man’s admitted he made an horrendous mistake , & apologised sincerely for it . He’s lost what I imagine is a lucrative job , too . No merit for police involvement, imo . Good grief .

He is racist scum imo. ..tried to blag his way out of it...he got drunk. ..his real views came out...admit it Baker!

Yet they won't come out to a Burglary - bloody disgusting - just as rubbish as SadiqKhan

Kids stabbing each other in the streets. metpoliceuk; “Meh..”

I pissed myself and am going to hell

The world we live in is becoming increasingly sinister. I'm starting to think that we have a High Sparrow creating our laws.

Glad they've got the time. Meanwhile back in the real world Khans London continues to run with blood.

Instead give the police the recourses to find Madeline

He fucked up, but what's there to investigate?

Yawn. Wasting Police time

Can’t investigate a possible breach of the OSA but got time to do this? This country is lost - thanks Tory Party.

🤡

It was hilarious!

In other words.. there isn't really a shortage of cops then.

You get burgled the police don’t want to know, but they investigate a tweet

Why? He's owned it. Been rightfully sacked. He's apologised, explained and accepted blame. That's enough. What about the tweet by Sir Alan Sugar in the world cup? Or the tweets by Diane Abbott and David Lammy. If you investigate this, investigate all.

And we’re all riding the bus to the next stop .........

What a fxxking Joke.. The world has gone mad..

Who’s on the case, Ted Hastings? The only decent copper in England?

OMG really

should be investigating MP's expenses again not some knobhead twitter timeline. FFS

Quiet night is it. FFS 🤦🏼‍♂️

What did DannyBaker do?

the blokes an ass for what he's done but a police investigation REALY

For Gods sake really 🤦‍♂️ we have children being mass raped in this country and the police stand idly by yet waste their time going after someone who made a stupid mistake needs some perspective here!

REALLY.

Put him on death row. That’ll teach the plebs.

So the totally under resourced police are spending time on this, when stabbings in London at all time high. We live in a world run by idiots

Have the police nothing better to do. He has paid for his stupidity. Move on

metpoliceuk just don’t

BillyTweddell Absolutely ridiculous!!! There’s knife crime going on out there....

Madness and they have no funds to tackle knife crime

Lock him up!! Lock DannyBaker up for inciting racial violence via his action.

Ffs.. FakeNewsMedia has made a fake Mohammed out of a fake Mecca to get the keystone kops involved.. FakeNewMedia wants to invoke the race card!

Seriously does this baby look black to you, because it doeant to me, how can you make a black racist comment to a white baby?

What a waste of resources.

Oh ffs the man apologised. Move on. Already been punished by losing his job. Far too sensitive this world now.

Ridiculous. Kept quiet on this but do you really think he intended to infer a royal baby was a monkey? It's all in the intepperation.

Note to self if I ever stabbed post a racist pic to get the police to notice!!

What about when harry dressed up as a nazi .. fuck all said then was it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Do the police have nothing better to do? Waste of time and resources!

Free speech is a universal human right.

metpoliceuk going to investigate this?

I think Danny Baker’s apologies have been lacklustre and insincere. I also think he either knew it was racist or certainly should have known... but getting the police to spend time and resources investigating this is pointless and not a good use of their time at all!

For pity’s sake, the police moan about limited resources and then investigate Danny Bakers sense of humour, just try arresting real criminals, there are thousands in London alone.

Yeah. In London please need more resources towards stabbings and mugging. Not Danny Baker

Ffs nonsense

Clown world 100%

Pathetic!

FFS.... nobody is allowed a sense of humour anymore the baby isnt even black for christ sake so how can it be racist?

How many people stabbed in London, I support the police but they really need to sort out their priorities

For God's sake, the Police have more serious things to attend to, he's been sacked, isn't that enough?

Oh FFS, let it drop, he cocked up, apologised, lost his job so let it go!

This is lunacy. 1984

Get over it we All descended from apes🤔

The Met have no right to complain about budget cuts or a lack of resources now

Now this really is a waste of police resources ...

FFS It’s not a crime to be a thick plank!

Theres been a tweet.

Police? Now you know what to do when you want the police to attend quickly? The can’t even attend burglaries because of lack of manpower and they are investigating this drivel.

Oh for goodness sake haven’t the police got sometthing more important than this. Pathetic

His stats must have been tailing off for the BBC to get rid of him. Plenty of other instances where more high profile names have escaped unscathed because their figures were good.

At this point, it's clear it's more about insulting the royal family than the tweet being racist

He's in deep trouble

Absolute joke. Stabbings on a weekly, if not daily basis, in the capital, and the lack of action is abhorrent, but these muppets can investigate this. If not taking holidays in the Algarve at the cost of the taxpayer, metpoliceuk are too busy dancing or skateboarding. Pathetic

Stop people being stabbed. DB isn’t a racist. He now understands that apologising is worthless; great message to our kids hey

And I wonder why no one respects the police anymore?

How did Alan sugar get away with this?

Please, do me a favour, what a waste of police time

The thought police already found him guilty and now he must starve and lose his home and never show his face in public again.

The should investigate peirs moron too

And so soon after the event, not at all like the recent threats to tape made against an MP... 🤔

Oh ffs

Oh really. Investigate the people who actually commited fraud. Not a poorly selected photo. Fuck sake!

But the won’t investigate a leak by a cabinet minister from the security council. I give up

Embarrassing. United Snowflakesdom

I knew it ! I just knew it was coming !

Oh you have got to be fucking kidding me?

This is bananas!

The law is an Ass

Knife crime verses a tweet. Really?

That might be going a bit far Firing was good enough

Must be no real crimes left to investigate.

Dear oh dear... this countries fucking backwards

I would put money on it when the Royals do something it wouldn’t be investigated just brushed under the carpet

Danny Baker is a disgraced racist in disguise. Prior to the monkey tweet , Danny retweeted another tweet ,agreeing, which suggested that Meghan baby should be called 'a homer Wallis Simpson' , indicating that he has been having an ill-feeling of her since God knows when .

You know what - this is now fucking insane!! There are kids being stabbed to death on the streets of London and this is what The Met are supposed to investigate. Unbelievable

oh ffs

Yeah investigate Danny Baker, while people are being stabbed left right and centre .

Oh for gods sake the man made an extremely stupid inappropriate joke and has apologised .... stop the madness there are actual crimes being committed

Police? Oh my goodness...that’s ridiculous. Surely they have more important work to do.

Ffs! He’s been sacked isn’t that enough?

..and this will be added to the hate crime numbers.

Have they found my stolen car yet?

When the police themselves are racist.

Well at least we have our disgraced national treasure for this year's ImACeleb

And a breach of the secrect act by someone in parliment is ok. Some how this country is going backwards very very fast

Complete waste of time, i tried to call 101 after witnessing a drink driver with 2 kids in his car, and had to give up after 25 mins of holding with no answer

REALLY ffs

Yes it is a controversial tweet, but not sure if the police need to get involved?

Was he either pissed or on something when he posted that ? NOT the action of an intelligent person given the timing?

What an absolute fucking waste of police time...they beat on about being under-staffed and yet they're utilising valuable hours on this. metpoliceuk embarrassing

Slow crime day huh?

Oh calm down

This is a warning, u insult and racially abuse that royal baby, you are in trouble. Set a precedent...

Now that really is ridiculous!

Really?

Ffs...

Ffs

Christian_N_Orr

U don't have to read other people's messages or opinions.... In life u don't like something..... Scroll on!! 😉👍

Nice ... enough with these troglodytes

He was wrong but the police? Really don't they have more important things to do

Police - we are overworked, under paided etc . But we spend man hours and resources to investigate a naughty tweet. No wonder police are a joke.

.... because we need to divert more Police resources to investigate idiots, rather than f$%ing knife crime...

rickygervais Really? FFS!

rickygervais Why

What a load of bollocks.

Tell you something...... If people don't like other people expressing a opinion on something....... Then SHUT DOWN THE ENTIRE INTERNET.!!! Game over.... end of. 😐😐

Leave it be, he's apologised ffs.

Of course they will racism is the crime of all crimes

This is insane

rickygervais Fer fuck sake.... Really.?... REALLY.? I’m absolutely lost for words. Anyone asked Prince Harry his opinion.? He pretty much has a sence of humour.

what’s to investigate? it’s a tweet?

rickygervais Not for long, I hope.

Same police ignoring the evidence of illegal funding and interference with brexit referendum? Hmmm

rickygervais Imagine if the person making the complaint just happened to be a journalist looking to eke some more mileage out of a story...

rickygervais It’s a joke. Nothing to investigate

rickygervais

Waste of time and resources. What a fucking joke.

rickygervais This is a joke right?

rickygervais OFFENSIVE MEMES DESERVE THE DEATH PENALTY REEEEEEEEEE

The worlds gone mad !! I thought the police were overstretched

Why aren’t they investigate real crime easy subject

He failed to make a stand. So this is next. When will someone be brave enough to fight this?

rickygervais Investigate knife crime or something relevant. Stop harassing a man who made an error of judgment

Ridiculous ffs

I love this,and this is from a black guy how they see it over in the states,sums it up for me to,who gives a sh.. Police have you got nothing better to do,maybe we need more cuts then

rickygervais Really! The police are already overstretched. Yes of course Danny was wrong. He has apologised and he will likely be feeling unwell because of his thoughtless actions and by the backlash and reflecting on his tweet However a criminal investigation! World gone mad!

Stop being so bloody stupid and stop crime instead,see my previous tweet about it

OTT... to a naive? Definitely no harm, only humour meant on the privelidged tweet.. In a relatively new age of socoal media that can potentially get you hanged. Imo

rickygervais

rickygervais FFS

rickygervais Oh,please!!

If he thought that post wasn’t racist then the man is deluded !

rickygervais UK/World, let’s get a fucking grip please. Soon we won’t be able to shake hands or look at each other without causing offence. I

Craigmacfarlan3

Offs

This is ridiculous, are they investigating the jokes Frankie Boyle was telling the other week too on BBC? Having a go at someone because they’re excessively privileged isn’t racism simply because their mother in law is black. Baker should sue for unfair dismissal. BBCnews

rickygervais The police need to be sorting out serious matters not a tweet. I’ve seen far worse on twitter and I’m pretty sure they’re not investigating all the dodgy tweets out there. Ridiculous.

rickygervais On whose orders? Absolute waste of taxpayers money!!

rickygervais

U know there is evil 😈😈😈 terrorist's out there!! Blowing up things n killing thousands of people!! N evil rapists and people with guns and u go and send the police to poor old Danny baker! Doesn't add up!!!!! 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

For gods sake let it go this has gone on long enough . He’s lost his job his good name has been badly damaged and he feels awful about the whole sorry mess . Move on and find another poor sod to piss on .

Meanwhile, someone else is being stabbed

They would be better employed investigating alleged financial fraud by the Leave campaign, as referred to them by the ElectoralCommUK

Why ! We know he did it and he did apologise ; although he’s a crass Pratt !

WTF is this? Don't cross the Royals ? Do they do this for Joe Public ? Think not.

Seriously he was wrong he knows it, how about looking for all the files on the peadophiles that a certain Home Secretary lost

The police? Lol

When people say that the police are under resourced.. stories like this turn up...

Off with his head?

He's hardly punched 👊 his producer in the face for not getting a hot dinner!! 😁

Crazy. 1) silly tweet yes,but it wasn’t meant racially 2) maybe there are more important issues to police 🔪🔫 theworldhasgonemad

rickygervais What bollox

rickygervais So no criminals to worry about, law and order completely under control. 🤦‍♂️

rickygervais Didn’t think the joke was funny but never involve the government or the police in this, ever

rickygervais WTF

But they haven’t got time or resources to follow up burglary etc etc........

Complete piss take

There’s some bad bad grasses with nowt better to do.

rickygervais A suppose that Julian Assange babysitting money had to be used somewhere else.

Have they not read online comments under every MailOnline article about her Megness then? It's an absolute cesspool, and done with malicious intent.

It's only a fucking tweet on Twitter that might have offended a few people. For a few minutes. FFs!! 😵😵😵😵😵Get a life!! He's hardly killed someone....or raped anyone. Grow up!! 😐

What a waste of time. metpoliceuk do something useful

Bad jokes are one of the UK’s highest offences.

Thought Police. everready

Well, they'd be sitting around playing computer games without sh*t like this to occupy them...

Is this a wind up?

It was very tasteless but a Police Investigation? 👀

rickygervais Did the police investigate Harry dressing up as a Nazi?

rickygervais Going too far now, he’s done wrong, he’s been sacked, he isn’t a racist, just a stupid thing. Drop it now.

Next they will be doing a Cold Case Inquiry on the PG Tips Chimps.

rickygervais Fuck me. When are they going to investigate Farage etc?

Omg! It's getting ridiculous now. 😵😮😮😵

rickygervais Perfect. Because who has a better sense of humor than THE POLICE?!

Oh get a fucking grip

Whats your view Lord Sugar

rickygervais Wow! ...I bet the PG Tips advertising department are shredding documents by the skip full....

Really 🙄🙄🙄

rickygervais Clarkson had several strikes, Sugar said worse with no issues. If suspected racism towards a royal is a bigger crime than to other humans, then classify this as a new, separate offence so that people know.

Then they need to get a bloody grip

rickygervais Oh fuck off really. No was no intent. He took it down as soon as he realised. He apologised. He was sacked. What more ?

rickygervais A stupid blunder! thats all it was! Prince Phillip has had his fare share of blunders with no consequence.

rickygervais Idiots

Investigating it why? Go catch some rapists!

what on earth?

BBC pulls HIGNFY cause Heidi Allen on ... ? Yes I know WHO?...evidently it would go against their impartiality code....HEY BBC you had Farage on bbcqt for an hour shouting his racist vile bile and lies!!! Go figure bbcnews BBC bbc BBCBreaking

I thought the police were short staffed. How many young men have been knifed to death on the streets of London this year? How about some form of priorities...

Ridiculous.

Plz arrest disgusting vial racist danny baker

Good job there’s no terrorists or youths with knives that need catching.

Aghhhh

Why aren’t they investigating Farage’s 34 appearances on BBCQT?

More to the point who was driven to report it to them?

ffs this country is a joke, more easy money for plod.a arsesholes want to try walking the streets not doing the pc brigades work

Police ? No wonder the knife attacks in the U.K is at an all time high the police keeps themselves busy with this type of shit

Noooooooooo

What process do they go through when they investigate a tweet? Read it REALLY carefully....🤷‍♂️

rickygervais Are they investigating Alan Sugar too?

But he's 'one of the lads', we should just ignore the racism

Only I can judge

This story has at least gave Harry n Meghan a break - seems it’s overtaken their new baby news! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Read the report before slagging the Police & joining the “ haven’t they got anything better to do brigade” They have received a complaint and are duty bound to establish if any offence has occurred and if so if and how they will investigate it

rickygervais BBC: We hate racism and have sacked Danny baker immediately, meanwhile heres Nigel Farage on question time

Got nothing better to do then? No stabbings or terrorist plots to stop?

Freedom of speech is slowly being eroded we need Americas First Amendment.

so if he tweeted this about his next door neighbour would he have been sacked & investigated by the police. just cause its the leeches of the royal family, everyone totally over-reacts

rickygervais Pathetic.go after the easy prey again

An officer is on his way . . .

Oh,thats goingway over the top.

They should probably charge him just for that hat.

rickygervais If you see a picture of a chimp dressed up then associate it with anything to do with race.... aren't you the racist? If you see a monkey and think black person you're the racist!!

the police tho ffs what a waist of time,it was an inappropriate joke he’s hardly the KKK he’s been sacked so that’s the end of it 🙄

so in 2019 in the uk, knife crime is rampant, crime is high, so the police think the best use of their resources is this.. you really couldnt make it up

The Snowflake Era

Err why? He has been sacked...that’s enough for now methinks

Aren’t they too busy doing the floss with bierns in the middle of the road and dancing with smelly fuckers on Waterloo bridge?

rickygervais This does seem a tad over the top.

rickygervais

rickygervais Seems to me it would be a pretty big act of self sabotage to post it *knowing* it was racist.. esp as a celeb.. about the royal of the moment.

What is it, two near fatal stabbing today in London?

Ffs

An English Royal's first child has been called a monkey publicly bcoz he married an African American n police shud not chek out the racist, now i wonder wat hapens 2 non royal blacks in dis country. I hear it was a joke gone wrong, i say dis joke was so specific n visual enough.

Yet teenagers are being stabbed to death every day...and prodnose tweet is being investigated ffs metpoliceuk

A step to far! He was out of order but have the police not got enough to do investigating real crime like murders, burglary etc.

Is this getting out of hand?

rickygervais *waiting for Johnson and Farage to get arrested*

It was laugh. Get a grip the real world. 🙄

rickygervais What about Alan Sugar's tweet about black footballers and 'looky looky men'?

rickygervais Oh for goodness sake

rickygervais More bad news for Danny... The Fashion Police are now investigating that ridiculous hat he’s wearing.

Maybe they should take a look at some of the candidates for the Euro election too.

I’m fcuk*** sick of the society we live in, it’s a joke! Racist this racist that, Islamophobia at every turn, get a life you sad c****!

rickygervais FFS man

What you gonna do? Arrest him for making a shit joke?

They’re still unsure who sent it.

Police are wasting time and resources on this?

Meanwhile, people are still being robbed at knife point in broad daylight in our capital by people on mopeds. I know which I’d rather be taking up the police’s time

rickygervais He said sorry can we just move on and not waste police time 🙄

Come On 😂😂😂

rickygervais Ffs. I didn't like the tweet. Yes it was racist but you cant arrest someone for making a fucking joke.

never mind that why arent they investigating mps credit card fraud theft is theft and corbyn was one of them

What a complete waste of police resources. Knife gangs, murderers, rapists and terrorists roaming the streets but prodnose tweets something that the snowflakes are offended by and that gets police attention. If you thought it was racist, then deep down you are a racist.

I wouldn't mind the chimp looked nothing like the royal baby.

rickygervais They should investigate the royals

rickygervais Curb your royal baby.

I hope he swings

rickygervais He’s got Maddie in his basement

Interesting that the cops have resources to investigate such silliness but don’t have resources to investigate burglaries n thefts.. well done metpoliceuk

And he says he didn’t know whose baby it was? Where does he live in s hole? I works on radio, for a Media company!

How about using police resources to tackle criminals You only have to look at his past to realise what he has done to fight racism . Get a grip uk

rickygervais Waste of police time, they should nick him for that hat though!

Oh FFS! It was a pretty dumb joke. End of story. As if the police aren’t busy enough with proper investigations!!

rickygervais Oh this is ridiculous now he fked up big time but Jesus the police who should be concentrating on all the knife crime in London that is killing our youth 😡

Absolute madness.... the tweet was poor taste but clearly not rascist.... political correctness gone mad... can our police not spend their time reducing knife crime rather than oppressing freedom of speech

rickygervais For Christ sake , the police ? Really ? Somebody needs to get a grip on reality. Go catch some criminals for a change 😤

Has any members of the royal family come out and complained about the photo?

Do the police actually do any real work

About time !!!!

We are happy to 'monitor' known active terrorists without interaction, and then try to go and arrest them AFTER they have carried out atrocities ... but don't you dare say anything considered offensive on twitter or you will face the full wrath of the law ... worldgonemad

Police claim they lack resources to investigate serious crime...

rickygervais Oh FFS. More waste of police time and our money. Get a grip.

What a waste of fcuking time..

rickygervais I hope we can look back on this many years in the future and be shocked that police would investigate people for jokes.. for words. But I doubt it. It will only get worse.

Oh for crying out loud.

rickygervais News...man uploads bad tweet....people lose their minds 🤷‍♂️. Just let me off just now the planet is broken!!!!!

rickygervais The Filth will do anything but actually tackle real crime it appears

Pleb misdemeanours require full force of law implementation. Establishment figures require only full force of their peers titter and tut tuts😏

He should never tweeted a chimp.

rickygervais Really? This has got to be FakeNews .

Have the police nothing better to do? Danny Baker did something stupid, but that isn’t a criminal offence.

The world has gone mad. Ffs. Leave him alone. He is fucked as it is 😘

for gods sake...not better looking into knife crime?

rickygervais 🏀

rickygervais The police should spend their precious time fighting crime. It’s a disgrace if Danny Baker is investigated for what was clearly an attempt at some humour. PC gone made.

rickygervais Oh for fucks sake.

Yeah fucking right... prodnose is a drunk tin pot presenter who talks too much!

The Police should investigate HackneyAbbott DavidLammy about being racist.....

rickygervais Lord Sugar next?

Ridiculous what has happened to the world

Please use your time in a more effective way. There are kids out there being stabbed ffs.

Really!! F-ing ridiculous waste of police time and resources!

rickygervais Can we all calm it with the “world gone mad/stop the planet” comments. Literally ONE person may have made a complaint. The police are duty bound to follow up on ALL allegations. This will be nothing more than a sliver of police time which won’t go further. It’s hype headlines.

rickygervais No way! Come on guys, I despair...what would be deemed an acceptable punishment?

What he did was bang out of order but doesn’t need police attention. What a waste of resource!

People need to catch a grip, you can’t say boo to anyone nowadays without Them taking offence!

Veetus1980 overwhelming support

rickygervais worldsgonemad

rickygervais Any chance we can stop kids killing each other with knives first?

rickygervais Lovely, of course, that they have nothing more pressing to investigate... but, give it a rest...

rickygervais Oh FFS. How to overreact to something in one easy lesson.

Give the bloke a break it was a joke XX

rickygervais Well that's a waste of tax payers money.

The Met need to sort out the crime in London. Not waste time with this.

rickygervais He posted a picture on his profile and admitted it was him that posted it. Tough Case to crack this one. Gonna need Her Majestys finest on this.

Meanwhile the man who stole my bike just jogged past my house

rickygervais Unbelievable. This world had become so incredibly pathetic. Who decides all this drama over NOTHING. It is going to turn non-racist people. To being racist

The UK police are the laughing stock of the world .

rickygervais For frigs sake. Tommy Robinson gets to give rallies. An already deleted and apologised for tweet gets this 🙄

Tell them to pop over to lammy's on route first

Unbelievable. I the communists countries the police investigated to who made jokes.

This must be a joke ?ffs ... bit of bad taste ,but that’s it ! Simple ! .get over it

rickygervais People jumping up and down about this tweet... stating its an over reaction.. try growing up as mixed raced individual being ridiculed by small minded ignorant people like Danny Baker that claim it was an error in judgement or it was only a joke!! It was poor taste. And. WRONG.

Oh ffs

No funding problem then

What an absolute waste of time and money, this country has gone mad

prodnose has been a prize dick - he knows it, and admitted so. He has now lost his job and will probably never work for the BBC again. But why a police investigation? Is because it’s an easy nick and knife murders a little more complicated to solve?

rickygervais rickygervais that is beyond silly. They must have better things to do!

rickygervais Lazy policing! Too much effort involved in actually investigating real crime.

Why dont they investigate some fuckin crime for a change?

Do we need more government funding for this or just a waste of police time? I vote the second one. Let me know when our country actually does something right for once. 😴

rickygervais I would think the police might have better things to do surely?

rickygervais The fucking police 🤣🤣 What has actually happened to this country?! Sod the knife crime and rapes, the police have got a picture to look into 🙄

Poor taste maybe but I really don’t think he meant any harm.

Got plod to investigate this, the you got more plod than you need. Time to replace the plod investigating this with teachers, dentist or nurses!

How many are getting stabbed daily and they are doing what with Danny Baker?

rickygervais What crime? Do people not have freedoms and rights in the UK ? Bad taste is not a crime.

rickygervais What’s he done now?

rickygervais Over reaction much?

Complete nonsense. Go and investigate some of the other low level crime that is going on.

rickygervais That's really important officers, but maybe stop the daily stabbings first?

rickygervais Meanwhile knife crime is through the roof, as is car crime and street robbery. But fear not the boys in blue have more important earth shattering crimes to solve. A man tweeted a photo of a chimp dressed as a man!! Oh the horror!!

rickygervais This world is shit. It used to be so much better. Unbelievable

Enough Already....!!!!

rickygervais Oh ffs, it was a bloody joke get a life

Poor subjects.....SOLUTION.. CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC OF WALES....CITIZENS.

Harry once dressed as a Nazi, just saying.

rickygervais Can they sort out the stabbings in London first please? Ta

Investigate? We / They know he said it,why waste time, he said sorry he lost his job = End of story!🤷‍♀️

rickygervais If this is true it’s ridiculous Danny Baker is very stupid but he isn’t a racist.This needs to stop now.The police haven’t got the time or resources to bother

Why? Has he broken a law? How about investigating burglaries instead. I like our coppers, but...political pressure?

Good to see the great British isles are crime free ..and everyone happy with their lot ... If the police have nothing to do ..then go weed and hoe the public parks..

Police confirming they have nothing to do and don’t need more officers.

Fed up of hearing about this. Leave him alone. The Police must have more important things to do.

rickygervais FFS

rickygervais FFS

Hills into mountains.

He did nothing wrong. None of this should have happened to him

rickygervais Taking the piss...... Serve and Protect...... Yeah right.... Tax Collectors and Whinger Investigators...... Spend my Precept properly you prats.....

The term ‘investigate’ in the hands of the law, and media, has ceased to have sensible meaning,

They need to investigate all bbc employees.

rickygervais Seriously? I’m not condoning what he did. In my opinion it wasn’t race driven anyway but he’s been fired & subjected to a bit of a witch hunt for making a stupid, ill thought out and not very funny joke. But, getting the Police to investigate? Have we gone utterly mad?

They must be hugely busy with all the racist crap coming from Farage and Johnson and co.

rickygervais Browny___

What about the 100s of stabbings What about the Muslim rapes What about the drug gangs taking over the streets

What’s to investigate? He fucked up , got sacked!! The end !!!

Disgraceful sky, deliberately choosing a photo that makes him look mad. Sadly us people understand semiotics and what you are trying to do

Snowflake society strikes again

Oh please, crass yes, misguided yes, breaking the law FFS, better spending their time sorting knife crime 🤷‍♂️

knife crime,murder,rape;no let,s look at danny!overtime all round!full pensions all round . . . .

I think after being sacked and being all over the news he knows that it might not have been his best idea. The police don’t need to tell him that !

FGS!

rickygervais My CO OP gets robbed every week, can they check that out once they done with Danny

Now the plod are real racists.

What happened I’ve been brain dead for 48 hrs..

rickygervais Police whi have stopped investigating burglaries..what exactly are they investigating? ill advised tweet, tweeter deletes apologises. Move on. Lord_Sugar tweet was worse

FFS the police have much bigger things to worry about like knife crime

rickygervais

rickygervais If ever an action deserved 🤦🏻‍♂️

rickygervais FFS this like Jonathan Ross all over again, faux disgust from thousands of people who never even saw the tweet in the first place

rickygervais Pretty sure a youth has just been stabbed in London....

Don’t have a problem with this... but begs the quest why they can investyghis but not possible breach of secrets act by Williamson?

They really should try and solve some proper crime

Give me strength

oh give it a rest. stupid stupid tweet and mistake but please don't waste police time about it!

You insult the royal family the establishment will, lock you up and throw away the key.

rickygervais Aw for gods sake He been sacked and said hes sorry Give it a bye

What a complete and utter waste of time and money

Ha ha ha ha what a pathetic country

rickygervais Will they investigate any of Prince Phillip’s past comments - remember comments to students in China?

rickygervais Wastel of public money.

Oh give it a rest! This is the liberal left at its finest. Some leftist twat always has to try & destroy careers & lives to feed their outraged egos.

rickygervais Just me who doesn’t think he was actually being racist? Surely if he was racist he wouldn’t do it that obvious on twitter? I also understand him not knowing who the parent were, I didn’t even know a royal was pregnant.

rickygervais Ffs . Why

And no time to investigate leaks from the security council? Hmm...

rickygervais Why are they not investigating obvious political racist scare mongering? I fear a diversionary patsy !

rickygervais End the Country.

Welcome to nineteen eighty-four Knock-knock at your front door It's the Metropolitan Police They have come for your uncool tweets

Come on now, Jesus Christ. The man has already been hung out to dry enough!

rickygervais

rickygervais Well that was obvious wasn’t it. 🙄

rickygervais Absolute joke!

rickygervais The man has made a stupid error, he has lost his job isn’t that enough punishment. Need to get off his back, he has apologised

I have seen some seriously disgusting and vile tweets full of sheer hate and nothing is done. Baker fucked up and did it very publically and lost his job. It needs no more action, especially from the police.

rickygervais Haha what a joke!! Could this country get any worse 😂😂😂

rickygervais Ffs 😠😠 There is literally no point in apologising. It will not be accepted and treated as an admittance of guilt meaning you will be subject to further sanctions. Sargon of akkad was correct when refusing to apologise for his 'would not rape' tweet. clownworld 🤡🤡

What a waste of police time and money.

To be fair I think Danny Baker's (prodnose) tweet was meant 'as a joke' but sadly theres so many idiots nowadays that see such jokes with contempt, and thats why hes had this backlash, I doubt for a minute that he meant to offend anyone

rickygervais GET A GRIP

rickygervais Bollox

rickygervais Absolute joke. What is the end game here

rickygervais What an absolute waste of time and money

Unbelievable. Meanwhile some unfortunate is getting stabbed in town & Piccadilly is spice central. I'm sure these 2 things alone constitutes a better use of the police's time 😤

Meanwhile, don’t phone the police to tell them your car has been nicked or you’ve been burgled

Oh FFS - put the police where their needed like tackling knife crime

Oh please!

Everyone is missing the sentence that an “allegation” has been made.. not by the police but by a member of the public..

No need!

rickygervais Any call on Prince Philip’s racism over the years?

Have the police not got anything better to do..

rickygervais What (and I can't stress this enough) the fuck?

rickygervais So much for ‘savage cuts’ to policing. The thought police are coming

rickygervais Well that was stupid of him.

He has lost his job..Joke in bad taste..Why get police involved?

It was stupid and racist but worthy of wasting police resources no

rickygervais Fuck me we are all doomed

rickygervais Send in the swat team now!!!!! I want him locked up for life his joke was that bad 🤪

rickygervais Get him behind bars quick while all the real criminals are taking a break. Wait, what They’re not You mean there’s actual crimes to investigate and criminals to lock up?! No way!!!

What a joke 🤬

rickygervais This is overkill now. He made a grave error in judgment, lost his job as a result and has made a heartfelt apology. Stop seeking your pound of flesh, it’s starting to get ghoulish now.

Ridiculous! Aren't police resources stretched enough? Yes his tweet was in extremely poor taste & he was completely wrong to post it but, surely there are bigger crimes the police should be investigating! No wonder this country is a laughing stock!!

rickygervais Should take a look at TwycrossZoo while there at it .. monkeys everywhere.

rickygervais Ffs. I really don't believe it was intentional, just I'll judged. The guy has lost his job.

FFS. Please!

There were shootings and stabbings yesterday they could deal with. No wonder the police have become a laughing stock

rickygervais Super easily offended, super PC, snowflakey, wounded by everything. I thought we were better and smarter than this. Watch some Berk from the police call this hate speech next. This kind of brainless stupidity will go too far. Bloody revolution I say. Stupid joke. Done with. 🤦🏻‍♂️

He done wrong bit the police PLEASE they must have better things to do

Really? If that’s the case then it’s about time someone investigated the police force.,

Shame they won't look into local break ins etc

Seriously? Oh behave.

rickygervais What a joke. If this is where my extra council tax money is being spent then I’d rather less police. Thanks.

Cradle To Jail. 😏

Thought we were short of Coppers?

We no longer have a police force.....we have institutionalised activists masquerading as law enforcement.

rickygervais I’m gonna miss the sausage sandwich game :-(

They didn't investigate Williamson for leaking secret information...

rickygervais What absolute bollocks. I take it they will be investigating every single racist tweet sent on here? The BBC, royal family and old bill can all do one

rickygervais

This is minor compared to a lot of racist nonsense which us seen. Do I assume every tweet like it is being investigated...

BanjoHfuhruhur What a waste of fucking time

How have they to do this yet still haven’t called me about checking public CCTV for the person who robbed my van/tools...

rickygervais Whilst the kids of London are out stabbing each other the police are investigating a picture. 😳

rickygervais Utterly pathetic

rickygervais Go catch criminals

rickygervais And Tommy Robinson gets police protection as spouts racial hate around the North West 🤷🏼‍♂️

🙄

If only they investigate it when it’s not a royal!!!

Well done the police, how about investigating misconduct in public office of some of our MPs

rickygervais Misjudged yes. Idiot, yep. But honestly, the police are pretty busy with other things.

rickygervais The police should sod off. He did it, it was wrong. He explained what he meant. He was sorry. He deleted it. prodnose

Whilst the tweet was totally abhorrent, this is a total waste of Police time and a classic example of what is wrong with Policing today.

rickygervais This is banter surely,geezer made a joke for sacked already ,give him a break

This is ridiculous

This is ridiculous.

rickygervais Thats the police for ya. Forget fights, forget burglaries, forget GTA Concentrate on reports from the ‘easily offended brigade’ wankers

rickygervais Are they going to investigate BorisJohnson racist comments as well?

rickygervais Why don’t they spend time and resources catching criminals?

His tweet was bad but surely the police have better things to do with their time? Absolute farce.

Go catch the fuckin blade using aresholes and rapists ffs...

And while they’re doing this illegal immigrants sneak through the back door 😮🤪

Because there is no knife crime or burglaries to investigate.

London has become stab city and the metpoliceuk are investigating a picture of a monkey. And apparently the police are underfunded!!! Obviously that's a lie, funding clearly cant be that much of an issue if they can waste time & resources on bullshit like this.

Not sure if it's a police matter...social justice will prevail. Danny will be remembered as a racist pariah for the remainder of his life. Move on GB!

Ridiculous, Danny made a mistake, got fired and has apologised. I am fairly certain, in fact I know, worse things appear on Twitter and every other social media platform every day.

FFS

rickygervais

rickygervais Seriously? This guy made a silly gaff. He strikes me as honest. He knows he did something stupid because he didn’t think. That’s the point. If he was thinking and then did it that’s a problem. This isn’t that. Quite ridiculous.

PC loosing the plot

Could you attend a burglary instead?

rickygervais Seriously ?, Technically it is an ape , same as the rest of us . The only difference is an real ape doesn’t repackage it’s food into non bio degradable packets . Then destroy its own environment for profit .

rickygervais Police investigations conclude that yes, it was in fact a tweet, more at 11

rickygervais So if he isn't charged does that mean he isn't a racist?

rickygervais How do you investigate a tweet? Serious question.

rickygervais FFS !!!!! Bloody ludicrous!!!

rickygervais Are you retweeting this because you think the police getting involved is a joke or because you agree with it?

rickygervais Oh, come on. 🤦🏼‍♀️

rickygervais Regarding the tweet he sent, he wrongly sent it and foolishly thought that he would get away with it. He's faced his judgement and has lost his job as a result, this really doesn't warrant a police enquiry.

rickygervais Would never happen in Line of Duty

rickygervais World has literally gone mad.. Unbelievable

rickygervais Because that's worth police time and public money isn't it.

rickygervais The man lost his job. Lesson learned. Turning into a police state

I take it Knife crime in London is sorted now aye?

Ffs have they not got any robbers to catch 🤦🏻‍♂️

The police are investigating this but not Gavin Williamson who breach the national security! Conservatives GTTO

Oh ffs

rickygervais Ffs.

Another great use of police resources. What is this country coming to?

Are you actually kidding !! What a complete waste of time and resources....the guy WASN'T BEING RACIST, how hard is it to understand that, he made a mistake and apologised...MOVE ON

But couldn't investigate the security leak ? In the Conservatives Huawei national security scandal 🙄

Erm, how many stabbings, fatal or otherwise, have there been this year so far? I thought police were overworked and underpaid. Why do they have enough time to waste on this load of bollocks?

rickygervais Ffs!!

rickygervais Crazy

Now that’s taking it too far imo - lots of other nasty stuff going in, he has made what I consider to be a proper thoughtful apology - genuinely apologised. Leave it, move on for God’s sake! 👍🏻

rickygervais Nuff said. Meanwhile Tommeh gets to spout his nonsense, Fumage makes record appearance on BBCQT, and HIGNFY gets cancelled because an MP isn’t running as an MEP...is that about the sum of it?

what a waste of police resource ffs

Looks like he reeks flog him in public

No sympathy

Waste of police time, it’s been dealt with.

rickygervais The world is coming to an end

An actual investigation! Someone nicks your car or burgle your home and they give you a crime number and send you on your way

rickygervais sorry guvnuh no baby here

Oh ffs, he's a moron, and got sacked for it, he got what he deserved I thought we were supposed to be short of police? this is ridiculous

Free the Danny Baker one

I honestly think it was a very bad mistake, no one would be stupid enough to tweet that if they actually meant it,

rickygervais

rickygervais fucking hell we need so much more austerity

FFS aren’t there actual crimes to investigate. He was a prat to post but hardly a crime! Give up with this country some times.

Offs...Parliament are robbing people every day

rickygervais 1 9 8 4

I’m sorry to hear you are being attacked by a mad knife wielding maniac but we can’t come as we need to investigate a monkey picture

Let’s get after Farage, Johnson & Robinson first shall we. There is racism and drunken stupidity.

What a complete and utter waste of police time. Are they aware that there are real criminals that need investigating, not someone who has made a very stupid n grave error of judgement

A 3-day-old baby is already a victim of racist abuse ... impressive hatred

This country is quickly becoming a fucking joke. This man is a fool, his career is over. The police should be busy elsewhere!

They investigating Danny Baker for being racist That’s fair enough! But Why ain’t they investigated DavidLammy yet ?

rickygervais Can I joke about this or will I find PC Plod at the door?

Utter pish

rickygervais I think everyone should just get a life

He’s been told off and sacked, what will this achieve other than waste time and strain resource more. Is it any wonder ppl are being stabbed daily and we’re told there’s no resource.... How about CommonSense perhaps mayor should concentrate on this instead bashing Trump

ffs police?

He’s just a dh move on...

Get a life its got to be the best caption of the year.

The royals should kick his arse out of the UK.

metpoliceuk sort yourselves out guys. Come on....

Get a bloody grip, he made a mistake posting a picture he thought was funny, no body truly believes he meant it in a racist way. If you look at the picture and you are not a racist then you too may see a little humour in it

Jesus wept man

Madness don’t they have donuts to buy

The real joke in it all is the police investigating a joke

I thought they were busy dancing with hippies

Stabbing in london Police: *crickets* Literally a tweet Police:

The underfunded police force have got time to investigate this apparently

It's royalty, can't do anything to offend NonceLand.

FFS

Holy fucking shit 😂😂😂😂😂

They fired his ass

Just the usual OTT Sky news grabbing headline. Complaint received. They will review it. Thats all.

Iromg talkRADIO After skateboarding with extinction rebellion rabble and knife crime at epidemic levels they have time to investigate this ?

FreedomOfSpeech ?

Seriously? They should be keeping the streets safe from knife wielding thugs

Great, so the police are wasting time investigating crass stupidity, ahead of terrorism, anti-Semitism, grooming gangs, gang murderers and knife crime. In politically correct London, SNAFU, (Situation Normal, All F**ked Up).

Getting ridiculous now.

Meanwhile this guy gets away with countless times of inciting hate!

Really! while people are being stabbed. Danny has already lost his job, which I consider far more punishment than was required. I have no love for the Man but he made a stupid ill judged Tweet, which most people will be guilty of at some point. What law did he break stupidness?

Leave me out. What have we become? It was racist and inappropriate. He got sacked. Move on

Sorry, but I don't believe Danny Baker had any racist intent when making that tweet. Whatsoever. It was a picture of two adults, with a monkey in a suit and bowler hat. Anyone who saw it and thought 'OMG, a chimp, he must mean black people' are the real racists.

Has Danny Baker changed in to the new Cliff Richard? The Police are so overwhelmed so they keep saying - they are total idiots

Why

What a waste of police resources when kids are fucking stabbing each other. He made a fucking joke for gods sake. If the police are to look into every joke in the world then everyone would be locked up come on England is a joke time to migrate

OK now its gone officially insane.

That is a fantastic use of police time. Well done us, we actually managed to get here, to this point. UnitedKingdom

Gets me because if this was a disability crime would it be taken so serious...

It was a joke! Our British humour no longer exists 😞

What absolute rubbish, as if the police are wasting their time on this!!!

Excellent use of police resources

Oh ffs. I thought the cops are running out of cash and personnel. I guess I was wrong

I can remember Prince Philips spear gaff. Can you investigate that next. 🙄

This has to stop. It was crass and horrible but not a crime. What’s happening to this country. It’s a socialist wet dream of controlover everyone’s actions

Ffs, what a waste of police time.. the guy fucked up, he's lost his job.. let's move on. Maybe if the police focused on more important issues, Britain would be a safer place.

It wasn't funny but ffs come on 🤑

The sacking was disproportionate but this is just ridiculous.

🤦🏻‍♂️

Things police investigate : a photo of a monkey Things police don't investigate : leaking of secrets relating to national security.

How ridiculous

Please give it a rest. World gone mad again.

When the metpoliceuk investigates jokes...MinistryofTruth...DannyBaker

What a waste of time

Send to the fucking Tower

Is it illegal to have a laugh? 30yrs in scrubs, i think not RoyalBaby

Ffs. People are racially attacked every day and the police do nothing about it but because it was the royals...

Oh please Ffs

Get a bloody grip

Equally ridiculous 👇

For god sake leave him alone should have known better being a professional broadcaster but he’s paid the price END OF 😬

Really ? Thats not needed surely.

This country has gone mad. It really has Stabbings, thefts by the dozen and nothing done to resolve. A foolish tweet and police all over it

What a bloody waste of Police time.

Bore off , he made a mistake, a good guy apologiesed and paid the highest price for a stupid mistake. Do some proper news reporting and stop wasting our time !

WHY ?

It was an ill advised or thought of tweet at best, he’s not a criminal ffs

Oi, you got a loicense fer Tweetin' that rubbish, mate?

Haven’t the police got better things to do

Orrff with his head !! 😏

What a stupid waste of taxpayers labor income...........

Good job there aren't any stabbings, house break ins etc to keep them busy. Baker was an idiot, lost his job, ruined his reputation. A crime for posting a stupid tweet? Come on.

Same police who want extra funding for Maddie?

Here’s a thought ..... “Knife Crime”

Molehill, we're going to turn you into a mountain. Just stand still and hold my beer...

No wonder people have no respect for the police

He’s lost his job. Punishment enough. What a waste of police time!

Waste of Police time.

People murdered nearly everyday in London and this is what the police prioritise?

Lol. He's a gobshite. Case solved! 🤣🤣

Don’t click on it... I’ve done it for you.

Stop the world! I want to get off

No knife crime to investigate?

What can the police do? Nothing, that's what.

..ahh here.....
