It was some snide and nasty behaviour to leak that incident,totally unnecessary and deliberate attempt to smear the man to get him out,similar to the incident that saw Carol Thatcher dumped off The One Show when Jo Brand allegedly complained about something said off air. The latest attempt to smear the guy by linking him with Savile is bizarre and the senior manager at the BBC deserves the sack for that type of dirty trick.

Akabula - that is partly why I posted it. Also it is one of the few that does not bleep or apparently distort what was on the original recording.

He never said it then, as expected, it would never have been broadcast.
TSO will be seething |

TSO Forgive me for not addressing your response to my comments but I'm afraid your overheated remarks and hysterical personal insults to a television personality you have never met is overwhelming proof that you are an idiot and not worthy of a reply. Hurrah! Nail on Head! |

Yes Clarkson is the victim here isn't he? You show and immense non-understanding of the way the world (of celebrity) works my good man. It's people like you that keep this whole silly, sorry circus going - maybe you should stop subscribing to 'Ok' and 'Hello' eh? |

while you sit there masturbating into a sock claiming victory against the 'racist' Jeremy Clarkson, consider this:I'm sure you agree that The BBC would NEVER treat one type of person different to another. Clarkson was obviously, and rightly, sacked for punching somebody, and nothing else. Albeit the BBCA reported a 'vicious attack' that required a hospital treatment (for a split lip ffs) If he was sacked for being 'racist' that would clearly mean that the upstanding and moral BBC would have had to have sacked Diane Abbott years ago. She would not have appeared for years on Question Time, This Week, Andrew Marr, or any other chat show on any BBC channel. Unless there is a special reason for not sacking her. Whatever reason could that be? |

@TSO What a big fecking sweetie wife you are.
You must lead the most boring of lives to get so animated over this. BTW watch Top Gear being reinvented with the same three stars under a different name on another channel. |

Mar 17, 2015 -- 9:53PM I require , a link solely from 'The Special One'.He's the one obsessed with Clarkson, yet at least 2 requests, maybe 3, have not prompted him into posting one.I can wait. 8 days it took, and you posted a load of crap. Where is the link I asked for, the actual Top Gear programme where he clearly said 'eeny meenu miny mo, catch a n*gger by his toe.'? You can't find it, can you? And you know why, don't you? It doesn't exist. |

There is only one reasonable solution to this.
Firstly the word "top" must be removed from "Top Gear" as it implies that one gear is superior to other "lower", or "lesser" gears. That sorted, there should be 4 Stigs appointed to present the newly formatted Gear, all with the same identity, partly so that none should be seen to be a better driver than the others (this perpetuates stereotypes), but mainly so that every viewer can assign their own gender, race, culture, etc identities to the blank characters. Needless to say none of the stigs will be allowed to speak. |

Would Prince Phillip be interested in the gig to replace Jeremy Clarkson?

By:
When I saw a few clips of this on youtube he kind of grunts a two sylabled grunt to replace the n-word. Don't see how it could be viewed any other way, don't know why he apologised for inadvertently saying the word he was trying not to say, because he didn't say it. Whoever says he did must have different ears to me. It is beyond farce all this.

The evidence gets stronger that anti-racism is becoming in modern Britain the last refuge of the scroundrel....this is inevitable when the working classes latch unto something.

By:
What's it got to do with racism? He was sacked for striking a sub-ordinate. He is also a very irritating chap who seems to derive pleasure from breaking rules and deliberately goading people.
He is also guilty of maltreatment of much beautiful machinery when, in a meritocracy, he wouldn't be fit to clean the equipment that the skilled artisan built.  |

27 Mar 15 01:18 Are you a complete IDIOT ??? They showed it all day eysterday on sky news, so are you saying they made that up and that was a fake video?? You had 8 days to find it, and you failed, as you do at everything else in life. Now you want to rely on a video that Sky showed yesterday. On youtube there's a black bloke who has taken out the 'white noise' and even he says he can't understand what Clarkson is saying. ========================================================================= AND YOU 'FORGOT' TO RESPOND TO THIS POST - AS EXPECTED TSO while you sit there masturbating into a sock claiming victory against the 'racist' Jeremy Clarkson, consider this:I'm sure you agree that The BBC would NEVER treat one type of person different to another. Clarkson was obviously, and rightly, sacked for punching somebody, and nothing else. Albeit the BBCA reported a 'vicious attack' that required a hospital treatment (for a split lip ffs) If he was sacked for being 'racist' that would clearly mean that the upstanding and moral BBC would have had to have sacked Diane Abbott years ago.

Well, if you were Call Me a Taxi, I would have guessed that you were looking for a response along some sort of ethnicity bias.
But, of course, you are not Call Me a Taxi and I can only admit that I don't know why she hasn't been sacked. What was her misdemeanour, by the way? One usually needs a reason for these things. I wonder how many punches were thrown by Clarkson above and beyond the lip-splitter. |

By:
In view of all the publicity, presumably the Police are hoping that other people will come forward so they can launch a "historical thumping" investigation.Perhaps kids he thumped in the playground will now feel they will be believed if they complain ! !

Clarkson is not small. He would be at an advantage when handing out a thumping. Fits my image of him.

27 Mar 15 14:33 I wonder how many punches were thrown by Clarkson above and beyond the lip-splitter. I'd bet on none, not even a hard punch, seeing as Clarkson is about 6 feet 5. |

This isn’t so much a piece about Jeremy Clarkson as about all the other celebrities the BBC employs who aren’t Jeremy Clarkson.
I call them the “****ati.” Here are some examples: Ian Hislop; Dara O’Briaiaiaan; Brian “PermaSmile Astro Boy” Cox; Bill Oddie; Russell Howard; Simon Singh; Noel Fielding; Marcus Brigstocke; Jeremy Hardy; everyone else on the News Quiz; the unfunny has-beens from the Now Show whose names I can’t be bothered to look up; Chris Packham; Rick Edwards; Graham Linehan; Lenny Henry; Emily Maitlis; Ian Katz; David Mitchell; Russell Howard; Bill Bailey; Jo Brand; Monty Don; Simon Schama; Russell Howard…. As you can see, the list is by no means complete because it needs to include more or less everyone at the BBC who isn’t Jeremy Clarkson. Some of you may be concerned at the fact that Russell Howard doesn’t appear nearly often enough for one so lame and annoying. Others may be perturbed by the presence of presenters they admire – such as, maybe, Ian Hislop who, I’d quite agree, is really, really good at fronting programmes on Victorian hymns, World War I or railway timetables. But this isn’t about talent – or lack of – it’s about personal politics. Everyone on that list ranges in outlook from the nauseatingly bien-pensant to the rabidly left-wing, to the point where you could fairly confidently predict their position on any number of topics from Nigel Farage, Israel/Palestine and global warming all the way through to mildly racist jokes, foxhunting, bankers, positive discrimination and the European Union. Oh, and Jeremy Clarkson, of course. Few, if any of the people on that list would be able to find much good to say about Jeremy Clarkson. Which, of course, is one of the reasons why the BBC’s sacking of Clarkson is going to turn out to be such a massive mistake. He was the one major talent in the entire organisation who wasn’t like all the others… And till Clarkson’s nemesis BBC Controller of TV Danny Cohen came along, the BBC appears instinctively to have understood his value. Not his commercial value (the BBC likes to think it’s above such vulgarities) but rather his propaganda value. Top Gear was the BBC’s equivalent of a Potemkin Village or – a bit of Clarksonesque bad taste here, why not? – those films the Nazis used to make of jolly, well-fed Jews playing in orchestras and sitting in cafes near their delightful new living quarters in the Warsaw Ghetto. Any time unhelpful people started banging on about the BBC’s entrenched left-wing bias and maddening political correctness, all the Beeb had to do was point at the self-evidently not left-wing and not PC Top Gear as proof of the contrary. Till the BBC sacked Clarkson, my view was that they were going to get away this game for many years hence. But now I am not so sure. Over a million people signed that petition urging the BBC to reinstate Clarkson. A fair proportion of them, I suspect, will belong to precisely that demographic the BBC finds most embarrassing: white, obviously; probably Thatcherite in outlook, but quite fond of Nigel Farage; highly sceptical of “global warming”; petrolheads, again obviously; not averse to telling the odd racist joke when they’re with their mates, not so much because they have anything against “coloured” people (as they probably call them, not knowing the correct term) but more as a reaction against political correctness; might not have gone to “uni” because they could tell it was a complete waste of time. People who – at least in the BBC’s Weltanschauung – are pretty much beyond the pale. Unfortunately for the BBC, however, these disgusting, frightful people, very few of whom live anywhere civilised like North London or have ever knowingly eaten cavolo nero, represent a much larger percentage of the population than any of the worthy groups it would prefer to cater to (the “Asian” community; gay people; disabled people; Roma; environmentalists; activists; etc). While Top Gear was on – the modern equivalent of “bread and circuses” – this mob were kept at bay. But with Top Gear gone, they may incline to feel that they have been cheated – like a serially abused child whose one and only toy has finally snatched away from him by his prissy, unloving, perma-stubbled, tofu-eating stepfather. In short, for many years the BBC has been living a lie. It has pretended – as its Charter requires of it – that it’s for everyone when really it has continually and ruthlessly shut out any presenters, programmes or opinions which don’t fit into its narrow, metropolitan, left-liberal narrative. And what the Clarkson sacking has done is brought this issue to a head. Also – a bit like Gamergate did for gamers – it has woken large numbers of people who hadn’t hitherto thought of themselves as particularly political into an appreciation of how badly they’ve been conned and abused by a narrow, self-selecting and very political elite who despise them. The BBC – and its defenders – are currently excusing themselves with the fig leaf of due process. (You know the line: “In any business where a staff member was assaulted by another member of staff….” yadda yadda). But what this excuse is ignores is that the BBC has been itching to rid itself of the turbulent Clarkson for years and if it hadn’t been the punching incident then it would simply have been something else. There’s a feebler, second line of defence which goes on the lines of “Well I never thought he was that good” or “he was past his sell-by date” or “he was a frightful bully”, all of which again contrives to miss the point. This isn’t really about Clarkson. It never was about Jeremy Clarkson the man. It’s about the things he represents: puerile humour, laddish banter, irresponsibility, political incorrectness, smoking, drinking, driving fast cars and enjoying them, admiring the military, kind of half wishing you could be in a war so you could test your mettle, practical jokes, taking the piss, saying things you’re not supposed to say, public school, bad hair cuts, not worrying about fashion, thinking Margaret Thatcher was great, thinking foreigners are funny, “racist” stereotypes, chauvinism, and so on. Lots of people still think that way, even though they’re not supposed to. Now Clarkson’s gone there’s no one at the BBC – literally NO ONE, for the BBC has always been good at purging such people or making sure they never get a look-in in the first place – to speak for them. |

Cant they stand up and defend their right to "admiring the military" or "thinking foreigners are funny". Maybe they can convince the rest they are right instead of mumbling n****r under their breath and giggling  |

Convince us that bbc should employ people who think saying n****r is funny. Clarkson and the dinosaurs have lost the argument, because their views are wrong. Its not good behaviour to call your colleague an "Irish C***t" threaten to sack him and punch him. Nor any of the other things he got reprimanded for, hes not the messiah hes a very stupid boy
The whine from clarkson apologists is getting tiring. Just say why you like his views and who you would like on BBC to spout them. Loaded mag has gone bust, now Clarkson has shot his bolt. Nuts went a while ago. Its 2015 its like you pining for Alf Garnet  . Why is Monty Don in the list |

The idea that the BBC have been itching to sack him is hilarious, they could have sacked him an any number of previous occasions. In fact, there is hardly anywhere else that could have got away with employing him. He's not a bad presenter, but not a great one, and certainly no raconteur - hence the need for the nasty stuff to maintain celebrity, and popularity, at least amongst elderly men with juvenile senses of humour.

If you could actually understand what you read, it may help.
Right in the middle of your quoted post: Clarkson was obviously, and rightly, sacked for punching somebody, and nothing else. The BBC are not as stupid as you, and they know all about Abbott, but have never looked like sacking her, despite the Labour Party TELLING her to apologise for some of her 'racist' remarks. ============================================================= And you seem to have missed this post by me. The Special One 27 Mar 15 01:18 Are you a complete IDIOT ??? They showed it all day eysterday on sky news, so are you saying they made that up and that was a fake video?? spellingandgrammarchecker 27 Mar 15 15:12 On youtube there's a black bloke who has taken out the 'white noise' and even he says he can't understand what Clarkson is saying. Nobody can definitely state that he said 'n*gger' - except you. |

I've not seen that particular episode, but I heard about it.
I remain as before I heard about it. unbothered by it. What about all this rubbish on the previous page? MEXICANS AND ARGENTINIANS: TOP GEAR CONTROVERSIES BY YEAR 2003: Jeremy Clarkson drives a pick-up into a horse chestnut tree in a car park in Somerset, to test the strength of a Toyota. The BBC apologised to the parish council. LMAO - he assaulted a tree, then you had to wait 7 years for the next story. 2008: Clarkson makes a joke during an episode about lorry drivers murdering prostitutes, which attracts more than 1,000 complaints to the BBC. Were the lorry drivers black or asian? - followed by a 2 year wait. 2010: Jokes made during the show about Mexicans, which included them being branded 'lazy', 'feckless' and 'flatulent', spark controversy and prompt an apology from the BBC to the Mexican ambassador. Everybody in the world farts, even the Queen. - another 2 year wait. 2011: During a 90-minute India special a car fitted with a toilet in the boot is described by Clarkson as 'perfect for India because everyone who comes here gets the trots'. Have you been to India? A year wait this time 2012: Clarkson is found to have breached BBC guidelines by comparing a Japanese car to people with growths on their faces. I bet you drive a Toyota. 2014: Clarkson was embroiled in controversy when it was claimed he used the N-word while reciting the nursery rhyme Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe during filming. No he didn't, it wasn't broadcast. 2014: Top Gear is ruled to have breached broadcasting rules after Clarkson used the word 'slope' to describe an Asian man. See my earlier comment 2014: Top Gear crew is forced to flee Argentina after trouble erupted when it emerged they were using a Porsche with the registration number H982 FKL, which some suggested could refer to the Falklands conflict of 1982. So what? Apart from which, it's a Daily Mail article, so it's all lies anyway. |
