Default Now Clarksons in Trouble

Was wacthing GMTV and they were running a story on how there has been numerous complaints about Mr Clarkson.

On Top Gear he refered to Truckers as Prostitute Murderers.

Im getting a bit sick of this now. If the BBC fire or ask for the resignation of anyone else I am going to demand my TV Licence back.

Hopefully as Jeremy Clarkson has some stones he will just tell everyone to **** Off and find something else to cry about.

I have a fairly simple approach to this - turn your tv or radio off! Seems to be slightly controversial though.

I can't stand Little Britain, just can't abide it. So I switch it off. Suppose I should be watching it from start to finish, and then complaining to the beeb about it - I'm just doing it all wrong.....

I saw that episode, and was laughing like mad all the way through.

If the BBC can Clarkson, Top Gear won't be the same, IMO, to the point where it's not really worth watching. Sure Hammond & May are funny (more Hammond than May), but it's the team dynamic that makes it so good.

Hammond was just on Radio1, but I didn't hear anything bad about the show.

If Clarkson & Top Gear go from the BBC, I don't think there'll be a programme worth watching on BBC2. Can't remember the time I last watched BBC1 either.

i think the x million of people who watched it and heard him say that collectively said "uh oh, there'll be trouble for that"...

thankfully 99% of the population are sane and sensible and took the joke with the humour (maybe misplaced, but meh) it was intended.

but there seems to be a witchhunt at the BBC right now, cos of the muppets ross and brand, so ordinarily the comment may have passed without incident now is being examined and taken literally.

political correctness is a crime.

i actually got bored typing this, anybody else feel the same emotion? is boredom an emotion? or what?

Can't say I said (or thought) that. I was too busy laughing. Sorry.

Oh My God I don't think I've ever laughed so hard!!!

Get this. The United Road Transport Union are demanding an Apology as are......

The English Collective of Prostitutes!!!!
They believe Clarkson should apologise to Prostitute Women. Haha

Top gear will not get canned. I think its possibly the most watched programme on BBC2 if not BBC1. Its won awards and lets face it, its Jezza at his controvercial best.

I was laghing as hard. I would have thought that there would be more complaints about calling Richard Hammond a Pikey (With regards his number plate, which wasnt legal anyway)

If the BBC were to can Top Gear I think the effect would be far more sever than a few complaints. No doubt we will hear a humerous apology in the coming weeks in Jezzas typical way. Will be looking forward to it....moaning barstewards.

Can imagine the Apology.

Dear Prostitute Murdering Truckers and Prostitutes,
Prostitution is illegal so I'm not really sure what it is that the English Collective of Prostitutes is. A massive brothel perhaps?
Anywhoo. Sorry.

Mr JC

Jezzer insults everyone doesn't he?? That's part of what makes him funny, along with his horsepowers and torques. Hes such a pompous self righteous twit it makes really good telly, unlike that unkempt Brand geezer.
I don't actually watch Top Gear for the cars (does anyone these days?) I watch it for the comedy. Captain Slow and Hamster wouldn't be right without Jezzer with them.
