Police investigate Danny Baker over royal baby tweet.
Police are reviewing an allegation made about the tweet that resulted in DJ Danny Baker losing his job.

The broadcaster was sacked from BBC Radio 5 Live for tweeting a joke about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's son featuring a picture of a chimpanzee.

The tweet was posted on Wednesday, May 8, the same day Harry and Meghan posed with their new arrival, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor.

Scotland Yard said the force had received an allegation in relation to a tweet posted on May 8.

"An allegation has been received by the Metropolitan Police Service on Thursday May 9 in relation to a tweet published on May 8.

"As is routine, the allegation will be reviewed and assessed by specialist officers," the Met said.

On Friday, Baker said he wanted to "formally apologise for the outrage I caused" following "one of the worst days of my life". He said: "I chose the wrong photo to illustrate a joke. Disastrously so.

"In attempting to lampoon privilege and the news cycle I went to a file of goofy pictures and saw the chimp dressed as a Lord and thought, 'That's the one!'

"Had I kept searching I might have chosen General Tom Thumb or even a baby in a crown. But I didn't. God knows I wish had.

"Minutes later I was alerted by followers that this royal baby was of course mixed race and waves of panic and revulsion washed over me.

"F---, what had I done? I needed no lessons on the centuries slurs equating simians and people of colour. Racism at it's basest."

On Thursday, Baker, 61, insisted he was no "downbeat racist wretch" after he was sacked for what his bosses said was a "serious error of judgment".
He blasted his bosses for their handling of the situation and said he was trying to make a point about class.

The DJ, who has been sacked from the station before, had tweeted a black and white image showing a well-dressed man and woman holding hands with a suited chimpanzee, which he captioned: "Royal baby leaves hospital." Following a backlash and accusations of racism, he deleted the post and apologised.

But, speaking to journalists outside his London home, he said it was "weaselly for the BBC to chuck us under the bus".

He revealed that he ended his "lecture" from his bosses "with two very old fashioned Anglo-Saxon words".

Baker alerted fans to his sacking when he tweeted "just got fired from BBC 5 Live", before the BBC had made a statement.

BBC Radio 5 Live previously dropped Baker's soccer phone-in show in 1997 when the broadcaster's news chief Tony Hall, now the corporation's director general, said he had crossed "the line between being humorous and controversial and being insulting".

About the Site 🌐

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. πŸŽ₯

Origins of the Idea 🌱

The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠

Challenges Faced πŸ€”

Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.

Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. πŸ”

Creating Truly Random Links πŸ› οΈ

The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.

About YouTube πŸ“Ί

YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟

Content and Users 🎡

Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.

While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.

Monetization and Impact πŸ€‘

YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.

As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. πŸ“ˆ
