I think most are suggesting that in this case, it would be widely perceived as racist. He should have know better.
Not sure if this has been said already, but anyone who knows his shows, he has a long running theme of monkeys dressed as people. He has put loads of pictures online for years.
Ok it was a daft thing in the context of the news but jesus people saying he is racist, i just don't see him as that kind of person.
I've got a feeling the point is going way over your head.Ever called a little kid a monkey, cheeky monkey, whatever? But you wouldn’t to a kid who wasn’t white? In that case the racism is all in your mind. I’ve called a mixed race little boy a cheeky monkey. How did the parents react? Just fine, because they’re not sensitive little daisies, they knew there was nothing in it.

Just lovely. Another benefit scrounger joins the ultimate family of tax dodgers
Your friends on the left will love this opinion , you don’t strike me as somebody who hates our traditions.
Don’t mind the royal family myself , good for the country , corbyn agrees with you though
Thankfully the majority in Britain still support it
What a bag of contradictions you are G
It is permissible to have a capitalist viewpoint but to object to an extended constitutional monarchy
I'd say he'll sell more tickets now.I don't think his next series of one-man shows on his nationwide tour are going to be as well attended as previously!
The majority in Britain are indifferent. Some are republicans, a few more are monarchists. When you are fed nothing but pro monarchy coverage from day one it's a pretty poor showing
Yep. To me just a shit joke and no way intended to be racist.Inclined to agree with this...
If he was genuinely racist, why after a media career spanning well over 30 years would he tweet something not just passively racist but the crassest form of it, i.e: comparing someone black/of mixed race to an ape? It's not like the type of racism perpetuated by your Trumps, Johnsons and Farages of this world nor the concealed Ron Atkinson type (caught off air engaging in deep rooted stereotypes).
He can't complain at being sacked, but am prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt that it was just a shite joke that was bound to fly way over the heads of all exposed to it, not least due to the glaring racial implications he overlooked.
Ummm...well, I didn't know.
Didn't say it was impermissible but at odds with the right wing flag wavers you idolise
I didn't.Come on.....
I am not even sure what she looks like.
hang on, i'll find you a picture - -.... now, what should I type into Google?I am not even sure what she looks like.
I can't see a picture of her in that story. Not unless it is further down the article, so it still stands.You started a thread on her and attached a link
"Black people are ugly'' text leads to UKIP leader's girlfriend's suspension
I can't see a picture of her in that story. Not unless it is further down the article, so it still stands.
I don’t idolise any right wing flag wavers
Expressed zero opinion of him
Bollocks
I kid you not, my American friends think everyone in Britain spends their entire lives concerned with what the royals are doing and are baffled by my complete indifference to the subject.
Find any comments I’ve ever made on him on here that says I’m remotely interested i his opinion

Countless made in his defence on the EU thread
The majority do I agree. I have friends from Europe who’ve moved here and enjoy the royal family and its mystique.
It would be virtually impossible to dispose of them entirely. As a paid employee of the state the Queen actually does do her job admirably and is a better alternative than President Blair or Cameron. They’d still be wandering around the palace like the pitiful Macron.
After her though there are no alternatives. Charles is an absurd fool. He tries to claim ecological values yet would fly in his private jet anywhere then take an alternate form of transport. He now seems to be defended some pervert in the COE.
The others are shameless publicity seekers when they want publicity and then get sniffy and want privacy when it suits.
The income streams - Cornwall and Lancaster need surrendering and the whole of the family streamlined to a Scandinavian model. The vast array of properties need to be surrendered and the public list scrapped.
That is modernism in the Royal family - not some sponger calling a child Archie

You just told us Farage is the man and you would gladly vote for him ( via his Führerprinzip led party). Farage is the ultimate right Wing flag waver.
