I am APPALLED Danny Baker posted THIS TWEET yesterday because it is SO OFFENSIVE, and will have caused UPSET to many people. He sneakily deleted it, but luckily I have this screenshot so that even MORE PEOPLE can be OFFENDED by it.
LOOK. AT. IT.
KEEP. LOOKING. AT. IT.
Even if Danny Baker didn't see the image as being racist, the fact that my own mind immediately saw a monkey and thought of black people made it a racist tweet. I am so relieved that the BBC did the right thing and sacked him for what happened in my own mind when I saw the tweet.

It sure does. And that village looks a lot like Salem, around C.17th
Meanwhile, the actually meaningful problems get overlooked.
