Jeremy Clarkson: strikers should be 'shot' - what a disgusting bastard

Oh come on, do you honestly think the BBC just let him say it? They would have had scripts, many rehearsals and all sorts of red tape to get through before they were allowed to go live. They would have known what he was going to say long before the cameras were switched on.

It's obvious the new series of Top Gear is just around the corner, Clarkson works for the BBC, so they invite him on, say some controversial stuff, put him in the public spotlight, raise brand awareness and then, as if by magic, the new series of Top Gear starts and with record viewing figures.

There's a difference between a direct racist tirade on innocent bystanders and saying something tongue-in-cheek that would be fairly expected as part of his on-screen persona - presumably this is why The One Show invited him on in the first place.

Did you see the presenters face? the bbc had to issue an apology at the end of the show too.

wow

so the government can do whatever hell it wants, and we sit there and do nothing?

V vor Vendetta croses my mind.

as a student , i'm already annoyed i'm may be in dept for my entire life if i live that long

IT'S NOT MY FAULT WE JOINED AN ILLEGAL WAR IN IRAQ.
IT'S NOT MY FAUL WE WASTE WAR ON THE ARMY.
IT'S NOT MY FAULT WE ALLOW CAPITALISM/BANKERS...
IT'S NOT MY FAULT AT ALL

SO WHY DO WE SUFFER?

IT'S NOT MY FAULT WE ALLOW CAPITALISM

is the show live? why didn't they just take it out?

Has he worked a full day in his life to put food on the table, whilst battling fears of unemployment, falling wages/inflation and getting screwed over re. pensions?

Jeremy Clarkson is racist, xenophobic, homophobic, and just a disgusting man in general. Yeah, he might just be trolling, but the BBC shouldn't pay him £1m a year for it.

Clearly a joke, but not a very good one.
How can anyone take this seriously? Lefties are more retarded than i thought.

Ha, it's funny (well not so much funny as desperately tragic) that in certain parts of the world that is what happens to workers who go on strike for better conditions and trade unionists. I swear once upon a time to be funny you had to actually have wit and talent, rather than simply a knack for saying twatttish and obnoxious things?

EDIT: And since when did having a "gilt edged pension" (if that's what you call it) mean that you don't "work for a living"? What is he on about?

i wonder if the strikers know that by striking, britain is missing out on valuable production and contribution to GDP - contribution which might stop the government from having to keep cutting their pensions and public spending in order to combat the economic problems mentioned O_o

Oh but the right wingers are equally retarded 1, 2

Tongue-in-cheek, google that.

I think it's pretty clear that he's joking here... I don't think anyone could say "while the rest of us have to work for a living" if they're a TV presenter without any sense of irony. He's got a cushy job and he knows it. Plus, it's classic Jeremy Clarkson.
