I can't undertsnad a word

areyoubeingserviced · 09/05/2019 11:54

Just tuned in to Danny
DB is such arrogant prick

areyoubeingserviced · 09/05/2019 11:54

LBC

He needs to apologise profusely and with conviction, shut up and move to the highlands. What a total disgrace. God only knows what the Americans make of this.

I am so ashamed.

SouthWestmom · 09/05/2019 11:55

The bbc 'gave him a lecture' which he terminated after 30 seconds 'with a couple of choice words which I'll let you fill in'

StealthPolarBear · 09/05/2019 11:55

You gotta realise...
Nasty little man.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 09/05/2019 11:55

Jo'B sucking up nicely

totally....but wait until a Brexiter calls and up and he rips them to shreds...double standards much James?
All Brexiters= racist
Guy compares mixed raced baby to a monkey= misunderstood

Springwalk · 09/05/2019 11:56

When I say highlands, I mean somewhere totally remote so he can live out the rest of his life not offending anyone else, or hurting others.

StealthPolarBear · 09/05/2019 11:56

Wow he is more of an idiot than I realised. Can't string a sentence together.

DavetheCat2001 · 09/05/2019 11:56

Honestly if it was anyone else, JoB would be tearing a strip off him..so sycophantic

areyoubeingserviced · 09/05/2019 11:56

Agree Only

SouthWestmom · 09/05/2019 11:56

The intent has got to be everything

The thing was put up there about class

Supposed to be toffs leaving the hospital

I blush that anyone could have thought that was the intent

'You're quite rattled aren't you' - job desperate for his mate not to be a racist

SouthWestmom · 09/05/2019 11:57

JoB basically ruining his career now. Waiting for the fucking hour long monologue about it

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 09/05/2019 11:57

Does Danny also think some people throw bananas at black football players because they worry they are hungry?

StealthPolarBear · 09/05/2019 11:57

I have no idea what hes saying. He's mentioned semaphore and backsides. He's not got a good radio voice.

Rumbletum2 · 09/05/2019 11:58

I’m amazed he’s lasted this long tbh. He’s always seemed to me to be the most oily, unpleasant little man.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 09/05/2019 11:58

James has a flaming cheek referencing the Daily Mail when HE is DEFENDING this story....im enraged

SouthWestmom · 09/05/2019 11:58

He's saying he would put someone on their backside for saying his racist

findingmyfeet12 · 09/05/2019 11:58

Did the host really say that people are offended "in our age".

I prefer DB to the host. The host is coming across worse imo.

StealthPolarBear · 09/05/2019 11:58

and vampires

augustusglupe · 09/05/2019 11:58

Agree with your thoughts GinDaddy but this is so off the scale unacceptable and tbh just plain bloody hateful!! What the hell was he thinking!?

StealthPolarBear · 09/05/2019 11:59

Oh, does that mean punch them?
I can't follow. It's just a fast ramble.

SouthWestmom · 09/05/2019 11:59

'Through me under the bus'

'Vampires who didn't like me in the first place'

'It was a stupid joke about class and once told it was a racial thing I was ooooohhh no'

SouthWestmom · 09/05/2019 12:00

Yes hit them so they fall down

KingHenrysCodpiece · 09/05/2019 12:00

Feels BBC has been heavy handed with their firing.

Well he's vacilating between feeling wronged and 'understanding' why people are upset.

Feels BBC is going to 'play this thing' and throw him under the bus

It was all a stupid joke. And the idea he would have done it on purpose is 'preposterous'
