Danny Baker, a reporter with British Broadcasting Corporation Radio 5Live, who was sacked after his offensive tweet about Meghan and Prince Harry’s son has been backlashed on Twitter.

Many disgruntled Twitter users said his post is childish and out of character adding that certain actions have consequences.

Some went berserk on the 61-year-old “brilliant” reporter and describel him with unflattering terms.

Many also used mocking meme’s to boo Danny while arguing that his response and lack of sincerity to the whole issue has been appalling.

WuzupNaija reports the Danny Baker announced his sack in a series of “unfeeling tweets.”

“Just got fired from @bbc5live. For the record – it was red sauce. Always.

“The call to fire me from @bbc5live was a masterclass of pompous faux-gravity. Took a tone that said I actually meant that ridiculous tweet and the BBC must uphold blah blah blah. Literally threw me under the bus. Could hear the suits knees knocking. #Fuckem

“Now it’s started raining. Perfect. #IntoEveryLife,”Danny Baker wrote.

BBC replied to my complaint about these two stating what they do or say in their private twitter accounts doesn’t reflect on the beeb at all. pic.twitter.com/9TMolX8ACJ

Even if the picture was an innocent mistake, your lack of awareness and even greater lack of sincerity afterwards have been staggering.

Unbelievable that he saw no racial connotations. I’d be interested to know what was the joke that he saw for him to retweet.

No Dan, actions have consequences. Whether it was out of character or not, you can’t get away with a tweet like that. Just wish the BBC would do this more often instead of picking and choosing which racists they’re happy to platform.

It’s nothing to do with ‘out of character’ what does that mean? Like on this one occasion he’s been racist? But it’s out of character? Danny Baker is not racist, he posted a joke that everyone interpreted that way but was not his intention and he’s been hung out to dry.

— Angelos Epithemiou (@Epithemiou) May 9, 2019

What was his intention then? Even if it has been misinterpreted, the lack of self-awareness to see how inappropriate it was, and the lack of sincerity in his response to the whole issue, have been shocking.

I’m not sure he was thinking. Having watched, read and listened to Danny Baker for years, I don’t doubt that he’s not a racist.
But it was epic failure on his part not to see the racial implications of his tweet.

I like Danny but what he tweeted was indefensible. I don’t know what his true motive was but can’t see a rational reason for tweeting that pic or an alternate explanation

— James Vernon (@vernonmintern) May 9, 2019

Not sure that tweet can be defended but #bbc openly provides a platform for racists such as farage, EDL, BNP, Stephen Yaxley Lennon etc – seems a bit inconsistent

I liked the show and I listen to 5live but this was inexcusable by @prodnose and the only option open to #BBC5live ??

Even if you did that by accident (I don’t believe you did) you deserve to be fired. Media personalities should consider everything they post.

— The Many Faced Gawwd (@ItsNobesMate) May 9, 2019

Just so disappointed in you, having watched /listened to you since the 6 O’Clock show. This is the 4th ‘royal baby circus’ – not the first. Perhaps ask yourself if your subconscious knew exactly what you were doing? Oh and that ‘apology’ – not good.

— Vernee Samuel (@verneesamuel) May 9, 2019

You dived headfirst under the bus.

— Coralie (@coralieandrea) May 9, 2019

If they “literally” threw you under a bus you wouldn’t be tweeting right now

— ✨ Margaret ✨ (@manctacular) May 9, 2019

Great example here of how Twitter is changing the world. An argument about meaning of words on a thread arguing about being sacked for posting something & apologising but still losing a job over. Meanwhile the world “literally” burns. Bravo. For the record: sad for you @prodnose

— Duncan Beagley (@duncanbeagley) May 9, 2019

I don’t care. Since when has being able to truly convey what we really mean been possible, let alone within 280 characters? Twitter is a joke where only half the people understand the set up and the other half complain at the punchline

— Duncan Beagley (@duncanbeagley) May 9, 2019

I will miss your show but it was absolutely the right decision to fire you. I’m interested, what did you tweet for the other royal births?

— CC (@1PinkLizard) May 9, 2019

Good riddance!
