Jeremy Clarkson Scandal.

[skipper734]

I haven't even seen the story. Anyone got a link to a balanced outrage?

There's no footage of it Trig. As it wasn't even transmitted to air. http://www.theguardian.com/media/2014/may/01/jeremy-clarkson-begs-forgiveness-n-word-top-gear

heres me thinking the inquisitions where over, i once worked with various ethnics including a few English lads Pakistanis and Indians, we each had nicknames relating to our various ethnic stereotypes.if people couldn't handle the banter they were shown the door or made so uncomfortable they found other employment. Clarkson can say what the hell he likes, so long as it is in jest which im sure it was.

Wow.
That sounds like a lovely place to work.

What a load of nonsense. He really is shockingly stupid though.

WTF? Do we really need racist jokes on an open forum?

What exactly is racism? I read a cheesy joke. What did you read?

I read a racist joke. But given your post about your previous place of work, I don't suppose we're ever going to agree.

Well, as long as you were one of the ones in the 'groovy gang'.

Not so great for the ones who weren't, by the sounds.

 

[Irish_Seagull]

You wouldn't like to hear the nicknames our English staff were given then.. Lol

Of course it was a racist joke, which is why I've deleted it. I shall put that one down as a momentary lack of judgement, but lucky to escape a ban, tbh. We simply will not tolerate shit like that on NSC.

Anyone who genuinely thinks such content is simply 'cheesy' or 'banter' can take their leave of the site.

You can dress it up how you like. The practices in your workplace involved bullying and racism, and were illegal.

Great craic.

"Please be assured I did everything in my power to not use that word, as I'm sitting here begging your forgiveness for the fact my efforts obviously weren't quite good enough, thank you."


That is pathetic.

I said it wasn't transmitted, and the Mirror bit says unseen Top Gear footage..

Please tell me you're old.

Ok cool. You also said "There's no footage of it", so I thought you didn't realise there was footage of it, that's all.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Please tell me you're old.

Is age an excuse for anything ?

 

[Irish_Seagull]

Please tell me you're old.

Your boring me now mate

 

[Triggaaar]

It can be. And although I doubt he has an excuse for being so backward, I would take comfort in knowing he was old, as I like to believe that the world is changing for the better, and that young people are less racist.

Your boring me now mate

Oh no, how will I ever recover form this.

Your boring me now mate

You never enlightened or interested me - or anyone else - in the first place.
