Justin Smith Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I think what he said was completely unacceptable and he should be sacked, immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuressenceUK Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Oh for pity's sake get some perspective people. If the Prime Minister had said it I could understand people being angry, but this is Jeremy Clarkson. This is what he does! Does nobody remember his infamous "All Lorry Drivers murder prostitutes" 'joke'? We had people up in arms then asking for him to be sacked and he wasn't. Forget about it and move on. He's being deliberatly controversial as he has a new book/DVD out, and he's a complete Marmite character who you love or hate, who puts this sort of thing on to get exposure.

Stereophonic Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Did any of you see the interview? At first he said he backed them then said we have to be balanced on the bbc so maybe they should be shot instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True not sure why people are surprised really. Hopefully the full show will get on iPlayer because letting a 15 second clip go round doesn't show everything he actually said though.

It has actually brought the debate to the public who are getting a chance to hear folks discussing public sector pensions, rather than politicians and union leaders who have a vested interest in peddaling their own spin.

No one would have a job if everyone was sacked for say the wrong thing or offending someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mypalseger Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Someone please shoot Clarkson. This is a frivolous remark. That,s what Cameron said about his statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well maybe I guess but he did start the interview saying he was in support of the strikers though. Its sparked more of a debate about him really rather than the strikers I think.
