I like Clarkson, mainly because he constantly winds up a certain element of society, the one that is quite prevalent in Brighton & Hove and indeed on this messageboard.

I more or less go along with this.I can take him or leave him,but it is amusing seeing the usual suspects on this board being terribly annoyed!

If you want to see REALLY funny, watch Stewart Lee's sketch where he hopes Clarkson's 3 daughters go blind. Now that really would be funny... I really hope that happens.
If I had a TV warning system that warned me that Clarkson or one of his clones would be appearing, it might be worth paying for? A bit like an anti-virus program: Beware Petrolhead Trojan, may say something incredibly stupid. and looks like an idiot (even before he opens his mouth).
in time you will see i am the voice of reason ;-)

HOLY shit what an overreaction, if you listen to the comments on the one show, it was a bloody joke.

Massive sense of humour bypass from unison and anyone else up in arms. Clarkson is Clarkson, if you don't know what you're going to get by now you're an idiot, if you think he actually meant it your even more of an idiot, if you call up a national radio station to complain about it your an idiot who deserves to be taken out and shot.
Haha, was that on Jeremy Vine? He does have a knack of finding people with the most extreme views, that chap.
There are Rats everywhere, but I don't want them inside my TV set!
But how do you prevent him getting on your TV by accident?

'Clarkson's comments on the One Show were totally outrageous, and they cannot be tolerated. We are seeking urgent legal advice about what further action we can take against him and the BBC, and whether or not his comments should be referred to the police.
'Public sector workers and their families are utterly shocked by Jeremy Clarkson's revolting comments. We know that many other licence fee-payers share our concerns about his outrageous views.
'The One Show is broadcast at a time when children are watching - they could have been scared and upset by his aggressive statements.
An apology is not enough - we are calling on the BBC to sack Jeremy Clarkson immediately. Such disgusting statements have no place on our TV screens.'
'Jeremy Clarkson clearly needs a reminder of just who he is talking about when he calls for public sector workers to be shot in front of their families'
- Dave Prentice, General Secretary of Unison
Not too much of an overreaction there there. Won't somebody please think of the CHILDREN ?

I remain utterly 'unoffended',by the way!

Clarkson on the One Show
Makes a joke about killing the strikers to make what he said balanced, in BBC Terms. Ok, fair enough, I laughed my arse off.
But what of the joke about people throwing themselves in front of trains and him saying 'Why should we stop? It won't make them better'
I think in all fairness some of the stuff he spouts is amusing, but he nearly always attempts to follow it up with something that's not funny at all.
Let's face it, the only one who could get away with that is Frankie Boyle, but he gets away with it, and rightly so, as he is known for his dark humour, but Clarkson is just a Broadcaster/Motoring Writer, on a show before the watershed.
I think he should apologise for those comments...not because personally, I'm offended, which I'm not, but because there are hundreds of thousands out there who might believe this is his last straw. For the sake of his career maybe.

i like Clarkson, largly because i dont take him too seriously. generally, he does represent the view of a wide range of country.
on this matter he's been a blithering twat. but its still amusing how every one concerned reacts as expected.

Exactly. I saw the One Show and it was just Clarkson being Clarkson. Like him or hate him everyone knows he's a bit of a 'shock jock', and the fault is the BBC's for inviting him on. What did they expect him to say? Looking forward to seeing Frankie Boyle on there soon.
PS - Agree with all the people who say Top Gear is a pile of wank.
Hi mikeyjh - have only just spotted this post. Didn't mean to copy you when posting the link - sorry!

Exactly,quality comment and the usual responses from a certain element of society.Perhaps Milliband and Prentice should get on with the pension talks rather than going for glory against Clarkson.
