Harry and Meghan

It was captioned "Royal Baby leaves hospital". Maybe it was some more of that ''unconscious bias'' we hear about. This is how BBC report it and which Baker tries to explain it away. But seriously, how would you feel if that is how your child was portrayed. Did he do it with any of William's children who doesn't have an African American mother.

Baker is a fúcking clown, typified "football banz" in the 90s.

He was fired about half a dozen times.

He was always going to end up grifting on patreon or whatever bollix he is at now.

As for Clarkson he was also fired from the Beeb for belting a producer because he didn't get the type of steak he required.

He is still employed, by ITV, Amazon and the Sun.

Did he apologise for it. From BBC article he didn't. Same with Clarkson and the Sun. They did not apologise. I think there were about 20,000 complaints for Clarkson's article, and neither the Sun or Clarkson apologised and there have been no repercussions for Clarkson or the Sun. At least the BBC did something about their employee.

Having listened to Danny Baker for years and knowing how often he used the chimp term it wouldn't bother me. If this was the only time he'd ever used it that would be a different matter.

He had often described members of the British Royal family as chimps yes.

He did apologise and has said numerous times that what he posted was wrong.

There is huge unconscious racism in our society that needs to be addressed - google the term Nitty Gritty and it's perceived origins and then think about how many times that's used in every day conversation. Unfortunately I think that making issues of things that aren't racist or were most definitely not meant to be damages the fight against actual racism.

Yes, it's not meant to be a historical and chronological timeline of his life (in the way that an academic would research and write about someone's life). It's just him telling "my story" as he sees it. Accusing him of 'lying' is a bit crass, it's just his memories of things that happened to him.....people are perfectly free to accept or reject his memories of his life as they see fit.

Also, an autobiography is meant to entertain and engage the listener in its writing and give them the thoughts and insights of the author. It's not supposed to be 'here's a chronological list of factual things that happened to me from the time I was born up until now'.

No, on US TV he was saying that the way that the British tabloids reported the part about killing 25 Taliban was totally out of context. They reported it last week as "Harry brags about killing 25 Taliban", but in the book the section where he talks about his time in battle is quite long and he talks about his feelings about having to kill people and how he dealt with it mentally at the time and afterwards. Also, it seems all of these ex-military guys who were condemning him in the media were doing so in response to the tabloid headlines (a bit of a 'rent a gob' thing going on) and none of them had even read the section of the book where he discusses Afghanistan.

It would appear that the only thing Harry has even tried to apologise for in his book is the wearing of the Nazi uniform but even then, outsources the blame to Will and Kate.

He admits no faults, no failings whatsoever. It must be great to be so perfect.

caught rapid!

A terrible indictment of the reading tastes of the general public. Will doubtless be seen in many Spanish beach resorts from march to may, then many Oxfam shops for a pound/euro from June onwards

It's not an urban myth, there are different theories as to It's origins and that is one of them.

I first heard it on BBC Radio 5 Live, the same Radio station that Danny Baker worked for. A black English woman was interviewed and went into great detail, there was a good bit of airtime devoted to it with a varietymof contributors. She perceived the term as racist, as do others. Is it only Harry and Meghan that are allowed to view things as racist? Why are this woman's feelings not valid?

What followed was a firestorm, which I thought at times would engulf me. And I felt that I deserved to be engulfed. There were moments over the course of the next several weeks and months when I thought I might die of shame...I now felt something else, a bottomless self-loathing.

No outsourcing of blame there.

Again if your source for these things are the tabloids or GB news you will by extension spread disinformation.

I know this has definetly been said, but for a couple that wanted privacy for themselves and their family they have been anything but private the past few years

Really? Oprah interview, The Netflix Doc and the Book all in the last 9-10 months?

AFAIK they aren't on social media or active anyway and I haven't seen them publicly anywhere else, apart from Harry at the funeral. So the past few years, no I think so.

Also I don't think they wanted monk like privacy, they wanted the knuckle dragging press to stop the constant lies, bullying and dog whistling racism and their family to stop concluding with them. Now they are telling their story which they are fully entitled to, also Harry has said he is very much doing it for the money.

I know, honesty from a royal or even comment is quite strange, but extremely refreshing.

According to wiki, there is no evidence of its use prior to the 20th century when slavery was prevalent. It attributes its origins to black jazz musicians.

As well as that there is a department store called Nitty Gritty in Sweden and there is a band called the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
