Clarkson again...

[the_lone_wolf]

Apparently he can't say anything on the opposite side of the planet without offending people:mrgreen:

Scottish politicians have reacted angrily to comments made by Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson about Gordon Brown.

Speaking to journalists in Sydney, the presenter reportedly called the prime minister a "one-eyed Scottish idiot".

Gordon Banks, Labour MP for Ochil and South Perthshire, said the remark was "unforgivable". Scottish Labour leader Iain Gray also criticised Clarkson.

[Bluepete]

It's just politicians wanting to get their names in the press.

I thought we were entitled to our own opinions?

Must be a quiet news day....

when has it ever been about anything other than that?:confused:

[Mr Speirs]

Two questions:

Has GB got one eye? Yes
Is GB Scottish? Yes

Sooo that means the only thing MP's have to argue about is if GB actually is in fact an idiot.

[Warthog]

Has he only got one eye!?

[the_lone_wolf]

Has he only got one eye!?

"britain is well prepared to weather the global recession"

Or a day to obscure bad news?

[dizzyblonde]

wellll Clarkson never minced his words..I find it all rather funny. All this political correctness is killing off humour. One day they'll have a chip that they stick in your head to ban all thoughts of comedy.

THOUGHT POLICE.... its the new name for the PC brigade

Good for him, there are too many PC people about....

My fav quote on the sotry is

"Most people here are proud that the prime minister is a Scot and believe him to be the right person to get the UK through this global economic crisis."

Brown put us here in the 1st bloody place ffs!

Just to confirm about Brown.

Scotish - Check
Blind in one eye - Check
Idiot - check

Sorry, but am i missing something other than some scottish goon bags (generec for anyone labour, and most in government), whinging about nothing again.

No wonder the UK is laughed at with goons like the above. Clarksons a plonker too, but i like the fact he says how it is and isn't scared by jolly old political correctness.

[slark01]

no wonder he is a ****e priminister, with one eye, he only has half the picture..
Oi!!!!!
I have only one real eye and I see the picture fully and clearly!







When I look straight at it, that is.
:cyclopsani::smt040:cyclopsani:

[punyXpress]

Oaf!!! :rolleyes: = Brown





Love him.:cool: presumably Clarkson.

[gettin2dizzy]

well he's one-up on Blunkett :rolleyes:

[the_lone_wolf]

Seems he's been forced to apologise!!!

"Unforgivable"

Sorry, but anyone with more than 2 brain cells could work out that with everything bad in life, this is "unforgivable????"

Man, shut the F*ck up and get a life please. If you thinks thats unforgivable, how on earth would they react to come home to find their son/daughter p1ssed up on 2l of Strongbow cider????

Hang them publically???????

Again, shows me that politians care more about ratings than simple common sense, and another reason to seriously doubt the morals and efforts of polititions.

Where can I file an official complaint about said MPs????

[yorkie_chris]

Lol, score, shame he's apologised.

The BBC need a f#ckin slap for being such a bunch of soft spineless c##ts. The whole truck driving one where the UK slags association or whatever it is had a whinge, what teh fook? Why would BBC even listen to them?

[embee]

Yes, but that's a cracking apology isn't it?

He said: "In the heat of the moment I made a remark about the Prime Minister's personal appearance for which, upon reflection, I apologise."




What do you call a deer with no eyes?
No idea.

What do you call a deer with no eyes and no legs?
Still no idea.

[Tim in Belgium]

There's nothing wrong in stating fact.

[zsv650]

brilliant i like how clarkson tell's it like it is no bull**** from him and +1 clarkson for prime minister be brilliant.

[dizzyblonde]

The funniest thing was watching Fiona Bruce on the 6pm news trying to keep a straight face, whilst saying.....''jermey clarkson has apologised for calling the PM a one-eyed-scottish idiot'......her cheek bones must have been almost cracking, and her eyebrow couldn't get any higher. I can just imagine her thinking ''cut to the clip, cut to the damn clip'' :-)

I wish I'd seen that, Fiona Bruce was pretty cool on TG

[Scuba1]

The funny thing is, that if those people had kept their trap shut no one would have remembered that comment and things would have been fine. Now however that comment is quoted in every news broadcast, tabloid, radio and so on. Now we won't forget it for quite some time to come. And that prooves the point that politicians are mostly idiots because they should have anticipated what would happen if they start making an elephant out of an ant
Good on them ....... bunch of planks.

ATB

[xXBADGERXx]

1. Don`t Vote , it only encourages them
2. Buy Clarkson`s books
3. Have a damn good laugh reading them

[Sid Squid]

So, I'm still struggling to find out what she said wrong, it all sounded bang on to me.

Personally I think he should get off the fence and say what he really means, dressing it up in nice language like that only allows us to vaguely gauge what Clarkson thinks.

Lol, score, shame he's apologised.

He's right you know. Chris, I think we finally agree about something!

HAHA, go jezza:D

[northwind]

IT'S THE FRONT PAGE STORY OF THE SCOTSMAN!!1!!one What the ****?

Today's front page is on the scandal of how Clarkson has apologised for making comments on Brown's appearance, but not for saying he's scottish.

"he did not apologise for his gratuitous inclusion of "Scottish" in his remarks. Critics said there was only one reason why the Englishman included the PM's nationality in his diatribe.

Last night, the BBC had still not responded to accusations of tacit racism by insisting they accepted Clarkson's apology and consider-ed the matter closed."

"Asked if this meant the BBC tacitly condoned Clarkson's description of Mr Brown as "Scottish" and "an idiot", she added: "He has apologised in full, and we have got no further comment to make."

I might go and burn their offices down, who's with me? I'm fairly sure he really is scottish you know.

[ThEGr33k]

He is Scottish, and an idiot... Not sure about the one Eye thing. Maybe thats what they are upset about? :confused:

Get on with life ffs...


EDIT, is blind. Wooot truth hurts? Oops.

[northwind]

Nah, they're fine with the anti-cyclops thing apparently, and don't seem to have an issue over the idiocy, it's just the scottishness.

[ThEGr33k]

Nah, they're fine with the anti-cyclops thing apparently, and don't seem to have an issue over the idiocy, it's just the scottishness.


Damn, I didnt realise it was offensive to be called a Scot. YC you Scottish... person. Oops. :twisted:



Man... Clarkson must be watching the news (reading) and laughing his head off.

[yorkie_chris]

Come on I'd be well offended if I was scottish, I wouldn't want to have my nationality lumped in with the muppet.

[northwind]

One of the other comments from the show, apparently, was saying that all british top gear viewers are apes :mrgreen:

[ThEGr33k]

Who who who who ahhhh ah aha ahhhh [ape noises?] said that? :rolleyes:

[Sid Squid]

Nah, they're fine with the anti-cyclops thing apparently, and don't seem to have an issue over the idiocy, it's just the scottishness.
Then they're even dafter than His Mighty Incompetence Hisself, Gordon Brahn.

[hob]

Brown has no depth perception in more ways than one :D

[punyXpress]

Brown has no depth perception in more ways than one :D
Is that why he's trying for the depth record? If he is, it's probably the only thing he's succeeded in during the last 12 years

Oooooo I like that useage!

[punyXpress]

Has anyone established whether Incapability Brown has any sight in the other eye?

[Flamin_Squirrel]

I find it rather telling that so many people are getting upset on behalf of Brown. In fact, anyone who gets so easily offended as many seem to do so in the brave new world in which we live.

What the hell is wrong with these people, how stupid can you get? Making a huge deal about it is akin to running off and telling teacher, lining yourself up to have your lunch money taken from you the next day for being a snitch. If you hold such contempt for someone as they do for Clarkson, ignore them ffs! I thought most people learned how to deal with being called nasty names before the age of 10 :?

I that's me!

[northwind]

Yeah, but he doesn't seem to bothered about it, it's The Media (TM) who're stirring it up.

[AmigaNut]

So he took his eye of the economy then [-o< that why he didn't see this mess comming.

[Biker Biggles]

Its become a circus this hoo ha about who said what and who got offended.Be it the royal family,Carol Thatcher or Clarkson I dont give a damn what they say.I do think we need to grow up and get a grip as a nation though.We have enough real problems to address.

[northwind]

I suppose that's why these stories have such legs, it's a distraction. Certainly cheaper than getting in another war, which is traditionally what happens if someone wants to distract us :mrgreen:

[Biker Biggles]

War is fully booked just now so further adventures will be on hold.In a few years time Germany will invade Poland and things could develop from there.Meanwhile we can all just get offended.
