Shocking. Racist bugger.

Don't think Baker is a racist. Just an idiot.

More people getting outraged over nothing.

He's been fired from the BBC a million times, he'll be back.

He'll end up on talkSPORT.

I hope so. He used to do a brilliant football show on there with Danny Kelly. Laugh out loud funny every week.

He knew what he was doing. Dog whistle racism aimed at at far right brexit party supporting loons.

I enjoyed his Saturday morning show on 5Live, and I'll miss it. Like Danny Kelly too, but I'm getting worried about him. If he expands any wider he'll explode.

Yes. And that red sauce or brown game he played was clearly part of his Fascist agenda.

We've got his number.

Don't get what all the hysteria is about i don't find it racist or offensive.

He's a labour party activist. Not seen that mentioned.

I wonder if that would be the case of any other party.

He voted Labour for the first time in 2017, after a lifetime of voting Tory.

He has some way to go.

I can't see what relevance that has. Given present sensitivities he would have been sacked whatever his political views.

I mean in the reporting of this incident.

Baker saying he's been thrown under the bus by the BBC. 

If only they'd been as quick with Jimmy Savile.

He's an intelligent chap, he should have realised it was going to blow up in his face with the way social media is monitored these days. I don't think he is a racist, he's just shown an incredible lack of judgement and it's cost him his job.

He thought it was funny i guess, well it is kind of funny to look at if you don't think about it in a racist way, it's a monkey in a suit that's funny. They used to say put a monkey in a blue suit and tory voters will vote for it, not racist is it.

Just unbelievable bad judgement.

A complete idiot.

I didn’t see anything wrong with it. Then again, I’m not racist.
