Nice to see O'Brien giving someone the benefit of the doubt and trying to understand their point of view. Perhaps he's on a journey, with the final test of his integrity being to extend the same courtesy to a Tory?
He did his part to demonise a lifelong antiracist and helped sabotage the chance of a labour government the people of Britain desperately needed, TWICE… he IS a Tory
Right? I can't help but think that throughout the whole thing. I wonder if you replaced Danny Baker with Trump or BoJo if he's be chuckling along and accepting the explanation.
Not quite. James is exercising freedom of speech about other exercises in free speech, none of which justifies the arbitrary firing of people for artificially constructed thought crimes.
Dredd: Joke crimes are dangerous. If he mocked the Law he would be locked in an Iso cube. The Public should live in fear of the law so they don't break it.
buddhism has been trying to get that idea across for a long time - but we now live in a world where what the majority of people, or everyone in any echo chamber - thinks - is taken to be absolute reality..
Meghan Markle isn't black. My wife is black, you can tell by of the colour of her skin. Danny fell foul of Meghan's marketing plan for herself. It's like Freddie Mercury claiming to be a punk!
I for one didn't even think of Megan Markle as being black when I first saw a photograph of her, I just thought she was a quite nice looking woman of Latino heritage or something similar, not that it makes any difference. I never understood what all the fuss was about until Opera Winfrey seemed to go out of her way to fan the flame.
Wow, seriously? SJWs cancelled him because of that? Wouldn't have occurered to me either. Had this not happened, no doubt they would have complained about a lack of 'diversity' in the historical figures and used that instead. Could have been so much worse though... like offering Prince Harry a Daz Doorstop Challenge...
yes.. the elephant in the room - is the woman in question looks much more like snow white than "someone of colour".. i also had no idea who the latest little royal had just come out of..
I'm here following the whole Chris Rock/Will Smith fiasco. Like Danny Baker, I doubt Chris Rock knew about Jada Pinkett Smith's alopecia. Yet some people, without any level of common sense, go into full hysteria mode.
He should have been more careful how could he not realize this would be seen as offensive in the modern PC world.The picture wasnt even funny and very unoriginal . Even Spitting Image in their day would have shown more tact in portraying Archie
If you think he got a raw deal on that wait until Ozzy Osbourne's fans get a turn at him for saying Ozzy's Parkinson's is the result of drug use - whether or not it's true
So answer this question Danny, William had 3 kids, so why didn't you tweet that pic at those times??. The only dual heriage child born to a senior royal and you did not know. Yea right.
O'Brien is happy to talk to Baker now it's over, but he (O'Brien) was leading the shrieks of outrage at the time, and continues to lie and deliberately misinterpret anything on Twitter consciously in order to get people cancelled today.
It seems bizarre that Baker would not only sit down for a jovial interview with the person who "lead the shrieks of outrage" against him, but sit there smiling while the ringleader lied and claimed he was staunchly defending him. This is a very O'Brien tactic so you're going to hate it, but are you able to demonstrate a single time he "lied and deliberately misinterpreted" a tweet in order to try and "get people cancelled"?
Talking to the very typical lefty that got him sacked don't make sense
Brendan Ensor exactly what I was thinking
Make that 3
X4
yup exactly
X5
But he never used the same pic for any of William's kids, but James liberal hypocrite
Political correctness gone mad again.
Nothing of the sort, you don't appear to even know what pc means
Chris Phillips political correct shall I get the dictionary out man
@@townmann5563 So his tweet was acceptable? Clap for yourself.
Goes to show just how tender the 'diversity culture' has made us. Anyone remember laughter?
👍👏👏👏
I hope no comedian ever touches in any sensitive area of yours, so you can keep believing that.
That's like asking the milkman to remember your wife.
@Daughter of Enoch Does Baker SS have a brood of his own?
Your mum does Robert! Laughing at the fact your dad was a milkman.
I didn't even know that she was black until after they got married and I'd seen plenty of pictures of her!
well she's biracial
that's the thing.. the reality is she looks more like Snow-white than the outlandish thing she likes to pretend to be..
She is less black than Gary Linekar...
Sure... And if anyone who WASN'T one of his mates had posted that tweet, O'Brien would have been on him like a leopard.
Three guys walked into a pub: Paddy the Englishman, Paddy the Irishman and Paddy the Scotsman...
Nice to see O'Brien giving someone the benefit of the doubt and trying to understand their point of view.
Perhaps he's on a journey, with the final test of his integrity being to extend the same courtesy to a Tory?
I hope so, maybe he's embracing his inner gammon.
Nag it's because he's talking to another semi famous London Lefty.
I just saw pinky and perky flying outside my upstairs window.
There was no "benefit of the doubt" if you already knew him and his comedy. It was obviously not meant in the way it was taken by so many.
He did his part to demonise a lifelong antiracist and helped sabotage the chance of a labour government the people of Britain desperately needed, TWICE… he IS a Tory
Danny Baker is a top man. I could listen to him talk all day.
I agree, Joe.
100 percent mate
I find this refreshingly funny because his upfrontness. Non political correctness, no phoniness.
Hello Jeremy Clarkson 👋
It’s 2019 we can’t talk anymore because some one somewhere will be offended
Obviously nonsense. People may be offended but you are blatantly at liberty to talk about pretty much anything
@J B I don't think you do.
Gabbling nonsense from Baker.
Did O'Brien want to tell us again "Yeah I heard it, yeah". Yes, he's telling us, James.
He should not of been sacked. An appalling decision.
James O’Brien can laugh?! I had no idea. I’ll have to take him more seriously.
His face and ears are a laugh riot.
That's what England need to be a Republic country. No more Royal Family.
another victim to the Cancel Cult
He got thrown under the Diversity bus by the BBC.
Usually James is the one complaining about “offensive” tweets and comments.
Right? I can't help but think that throughout the whole thing. I wonder if you replaced Danny Baker with Trump or BoJo if he's be chuckling along and accepting the explanation.
Not quite. James is exercising freedom of speech about other exercises in free speech, none of which justifies the arbitrary firing of people for artificially constructed thought crimes.
@@BrianMcGuirkBMG Yes freedom of speech that hits a protected characteristics. I'm not even surprised at your comment.
@@Pod_Chronicles What's a 'protected characteristic'? Is lack of surprise the same as agreement? If not, what do you disagree with?
Different when it's his little buddy. Liberal hypocrtie. Nothing new.
Possibly the greatest radio program maker, with the possible exception of Terry Wogan.
So people didn't like it that he saw Meghan Markle as a person and not a race, how ironic.
James O'Brien being reasonable........who knew!
Dredd: Joke crimes are dangerous. If he mocked the Law he would be locked in an Iso cube. The Public should live in fear of the law so they don't break it.
He was so close he could have tweeted about Andrew instead and still be 'beebed'
We love you Danny !.
Poor bloke. It's so awful to lose your job over something so innocent. Trial by media again. Shouldn't be allowed.
When will people learn that the intended meaning of something is the meaning. A meaning that might be inferred is not the meaning.
buddhism has been trying to get that idea across for a long time - but we now live in a world where what the majority of people, or everyone in any echo chamber - thinks - is taken to be absolute reality..
Thumbs down only for James not Danny
Side note, this is probably the first time I've agreed with James O'Brien...
utter nonsense!
Meghan Markle isn't black.
My wife is black, you can tell by of the colour of her skin.
Danny fell foul of Meghan's marketing plan for herself.
It's like Freddie Mercury claiming to be a punk!
A;ll conservatives should boycott the bbc.
they chucked him under the bus
I for one didn't even think of Megan Markle as being black when I first saw a photograph of her, I just thought she was a quite nice looking woman of Latino heritage or something similar, not that it makes any difference. I never understood what all the fuss was about until Opera Winfrey seemed to go out of her way to fan the flame.
Don't try to defend this guy, he knew what he was tweeting he worked in the
media. He's a foooool
on a scale of one to a hundred how sure of that are you ??
World of excuses. Bull! Simply inappropriate.
Wow, seriously? SJWs cancelled him because of that? Wouldn't have occurered to me either. Had this not happened, no doubt they would have complained about a lack of 'diversity' in the historical figures and used that instead.
Could have been so much worse though... like offering Prince Harry a Daz Doorstop Challenge...
yes.. the elephant in the room - is the woman in question looks much more like snow white than "someone of colour"..
i also had no idea who the latest little royal had just come out of..
Yet another talent gone down the swanny because of PC culture.
I really LOVE Danny and I don't care about Megan.
Danny is great, long may he Broadcast.
danny is a nut he made fun of archie
Those whom the gods would destroy they first drive mad.
It was a funny joke, I laughed. People should lighten up.
If you think that was the issue you don't k ow what actually happened
it was a sick joke
Can you explain it please? I don't understand why it was funny and Danny hasn't made much effort to explain to people given he got sacked over it
Baker is possibly the most unfuniest man on radio.
England personified
Legend!
I'm here following the whole Chris Rock/Will Smith fiasco. Like Danny Baker, I doubt Chris Rock knew about Jada Pinkett Smith's alopecia. Yet some people, without any level of common sense, go into full hysteria mode.
He should have been more careful how could he not realize this would be seen as offensive in the modern PC world.The picture wasnt even funny and very unoriginal .

Ahh interesting that O'Brien takes the time to hear Baker out but instantly throws slurs and insults at anyone he doesmt agree with.
*_Jokes are Evil and should be stopped. I have feelings!_*
If you think he got a raw deal on that wait until Ozzy Osbourne's fans get a turn at him for saying Ozzy's Parkinson's is the result of drug use - whether or not it's true
The ultimate flip flopper.
Sqirming worms!
To be fair Mr baker you and Evans had a hand in helping Gascoigne destroy himself
karma always comes back to get you
Life lesson
Are you serious?
Sadly these are the times we live in , Danny baker a truly funny eloquent man had to pay a price for a piece of none sense
So answer this question Danny, William had 3 kids, so why didn't you tweet that pic at those times??. The only dual heriage child born to a senior royal and you did not know. Yea right.
Different for Joe brand wasn't it ! inciting people to throw acid is ok now ,
Hey ! Danny Baker ! 🤮
I thought it was hilarious. Pity the sense of humour police reacted as they did.
I'm sorry, I do not understand his explanation at all. Can anyone translate please?
O'Brien is happy to talk to Baker now it's over, but he (O'Brien) was leading the shrieks of outrage at the time, and continues to lie and deliberately misinterpret anything on Twitter consciously in order to get people cancelled today.
It seems bizarre that Baker would not only sit down for a jovial interview with the person who "lead the shrieks of outrage" against him, but sit there smiling while the ringleader lied and claimed he was staunchly defending him.
This is a very O'Brien tactic so you're going to hate it, but are you able to demonstrate a single time he "lied and deliberately misinterpreted" a tweet in order to try and "get people cancelled"?
Would you have link to James's comments at the time please? I'm trying to find it. Thanks
He defended him at the time, actually.
danny one of the best DJ
Clearly, he STILL believes he did nothing wrong. His lack of effort to understand is disrespectful to those who believed he can be trusted.
Ridiculous person
I watched 10 seconds and realized just don’t care about this.
Saturday mornings are a lot less funny. Brown sauce
that was a dreadful show, but still better than anyfink else wot was on
1:12 Danny even said this above himself, but still tweeted that pic.
Yes, but- as he subsequently explains- he didn’t know that Meghan Markle was mixed-race.
Danny Baker...what a very sick man he was.
That is what you have to expect from people who worship Bermondsey.
only time ive liked o'brien
Maybe I'm wrong but if this was any other than Danny, JOB would have slaughtered them.
No it's buts and definitely no forced laughter.
All these comments are by white people I see smh
How can you tell?
Danny went for a stroll and walked into a leftie land mine
Getting interviewed by a lefty rhe same people that got him the sack 🤔
Partisan much?
