SHY TED Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 The buffoon is paid £1,000,000 a year out of our TV licence. . On which he presumably pays at least £500,000 back into the tax system I fail to see what the fuss is about. It was far less offensive than any episode of Little Britain. I think some folks need to take an asprin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Enoch Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I think what he said was completely unacceptable and he should be sacked, immediately. Calm down, my friend, calm down ... everything's going to be alright! Did that naughty man say some naughty things ... ok, there there! I think we all should adopt a "hug-a-leftie" approach, as they do seem to be a tad sensitive today don't they!? :banana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mossdog Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 The buffoon is paid £1,000,000 a year out of our TV licence. Does anyone ever watch his programme? The last time I saw it , it was absolute tripe. Grown men behaving like giggling school children, and no entertainment at all. That little chap is an absolute creep, and the less said about the long haired guy the better. The man himself is just a loudmouthed bullying nonentity, we all know one from the local, or our workplace. Everyone laughs when he is there. But as soon as he is gone, we say, what a pillock. And we haven't even started on you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladesman Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 This is very true. Not only is the programme sold around the world and has some of the largest viewing figures in the world, the format has also been franchised and similar series are now filmed in other countries who pay the BBC for the privilege. Exactly its self generating money and Id imagine now probably needs less licence fee payer money to actually fund it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balpin Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 He has built Top Gear up to be an exportable show that the Beeb are now making money out of globally. By God, do you mean this programme is being exported? An embarrassment like that fool should be kept hidden, not exported. No wonder we get no respect abroad these days, when everyone thinks we are like that buffoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Smith 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. I don`t agree with you at all. I`m partial to a bit of p*** taking (I more or less do it professionally.......), but what he said was unbelievable. If he`d have just said they (the strikers) should be shot, I`d have thought it in poor taste but it wouldn`t have upset me that much. But to say "they should be executed in front of their families", the guy should be sacked from the BBC and never allowed back on, period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJC1 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 It was a joke, taken out of context to be fair. Not that I would usually defend Clarkson but this time its been spinned out of all proportion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
