I have just sent in an official complaint to add to the others. I hear that the union has accepted the apology. I have asked for him to be sacked. They will treat it in the same way as other complaints but would need to ask me to discover if I'm really being serious. Same with my earlier comments. Regrettably I don't expect to be given the opportunity to explain fully. If I was, I would just say that I thought it would be a laugh.Last edited by Guest; 01-12-11, 18:00.Comment

Well I'm a teacher and I wasn't at all worried by it. Clarkson is Clarkson and for a friend of the PM, is very funny. He likes o shock; that's all. It's Cameron's attempt to divide unions, lie about the pension pots and that idiot right-wing extremist whose name escapes me who was interviewed on Radio 5 this afternoon who really do get my goat. They actually mean what they are sayingComment

Yes if that's your view but you could still send in an official complaint with a request for him to be sacked for a laugh.Comment

What would the reaction have been, I wonder, if instead of strikers, Clarkson had suggested that Pakistanis, blacks, gays, Jews or any other "minority group" should be shot in front of their families?Originally posted by Eine Alpensinfonie View Post
That would shock. Clarkson likes to shock, you say, so that would be all right then.
What's the difference? Clarkson is an uneducated oaf, and should not be allowed within a mile of any TV or radio studio.Comment

I'm trying to think of an argument against that but it's entirely beyond me. I'm not short on a sense of humour but if that's a genuine example of his in action, then I'd far rather he had an audience of one and a mirror than an audience of millions such as he's had to date.Originally posted by mangerton View Post
Prime Ministers need to choose their friends more carefully, I'd suggest.Comment

Is Dave spending this Christmas with Rebekah I wonder?
The Clarksons have always had a "unique" view of safety:

...........Hey - are you a child of the sixties?
Groovy man. Way out yeah. So Michael Gove is not the only dude from that era who survived the trip.
Government website Directgov decides to confirm pension age increases with patronising psychedelia and white silhouettes of Pans People:
(Understandably two of them are jumping off a cliff and the other one is about to dive).

It seems to be a failing with PMs. None of the recent incumbents have done very well in that regard.Originally posted by Eine Alpensinfonie View PostComment

well he can have the strikers shot if he must [the 'in front of their families'' bit was gross no?] but only after the bankers are shot first, and an orderly queue if you don't mind, none of those European scrambles here ..... and eat your peasAccording to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.Comment

But if all the strikers and all the bankers and other financial services culprits and all the cabinet and all the this, that and the others are to be shot, won't there be an insufficient number of weapons and shootists with the ability to shoot?Originally posted by aka Calum Da Jazbo View Post
Anyway, never mind eating your peas; we've got Mr Pee here, haven't we?!Comment
