I have to say, it's hardly PC gone mad.
Football fans throwing bananas on the pitch at black players, making monkey noises, monkey gestures, which clearly displays the understanding of racially abusing a Black person by inferring that they are a Monkey.
This has been in the news, very recently, and it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that the picture would infer any other response.
I'm afraid Danny Baker has done that, either deliberately or accidentally BUT it does not excuse him from guilt.
He's built a career on social commentary and his humor is way off the mark and his understanding of the social climate is also way of the mark.
He got exactly what he deserves.
