CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Damn right, old boy. I shudder at the thought of a car programme without casual racism. Christ, what if it was hosted by a woman? Political correctness gone mad. Scrap the BBC, they no longer represent the backwards views of a rich white man. Impartial? Is it bollocks. I bet the place is run by vegetarians. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islingtonclaret Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Tony's right, the explicit inference is that he's "from Repton" and therefore cut from the same cloth as the Bullingdon lot As a little nugget of info for yous all, I am from Repton. I go Holte End, same as the rest of you, go down the boozer with cocker-ney lads and loudmouth Mancs, and tend to try and avoid hooray henry rah rah rahs. The point being, never judge someone from where they went to school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Any expect the three of them to turn up on Sky or ITV under a new name? It happened before with Fifth Gear when the entire Top Gear staff and crew (minus Clarkson and May) jumped to Channel 5. Netflix seems like a decent home for the show if they all go. It's global, and Top Gear is hugely popular pretty much everywhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Any expect the three of them to turn up on Sky or ITV under a new name? I thought Sky would be the likely destination , but then I read an article that said it could be problematic to have him in view of the Andy Gray \ Richard Keyes shenanigans and their sackings mind you Sky are hypocrites of the highest order so I don't really see it being an obstacle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meregreen Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 If the BBC are going to sack Clarkson they should scrap the show. To attempt to revive it in a new politically correct format would be an insult to the audience and even worse television. It would be unforgivable for Hammond and May to continue doing the show without Clarkson and they would be beyond contempt if they were to agree to do so. Stripped of the satire and particular humour brought to it by Clarkson's script-writing the show would just be even more banal and pointless than it is now. Knowing that it had been censored would make it unbearable to watch. The only good thing about the whole affair is that it adds to the argument that the BBC has become far too politicised and cannot be considered to be independent any more, and should therefore be broken up. The BBC cannot function as a neutral arbiter between competing political interests, if its neutrality is put in doubt. When they put their political obligations before the interests of their audience then their existence cannot be justified. What the hell has politics got to do with it. He punched a producer in the mouth after abusing him with foul language for 20 minutes, because he couldn't get a hot steak after a drinking session in the local pub. Strange analogy. Gross misconduct at work from a serial boor, has potentialy cost him his job. These rules apply to all of us, don't they? Haven't seen this in any political party manifesto?

Popular Post Jon Posted March 25, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) I'd love it to simply transplant itself over to Sky. Possibly one of the better outcome I think. I used to watch the show a few years ago, not religiously, but on occassion. But I think he has to go from the BBC's employ. He comes across as a childish, bigoted, racist, anti environment, anti wimmin, right wing tit. As such, I'd be immensely happy if my money, via the licence fee, is not being used to pay this prick's wages.

( which I didn't make clear ) and why I was trivialising it sounded more like someone thinking through their lawyer than someone with any real injury .. but I'm just an old cynic ,I'm sure 54 yr old Clarkson packs a punch like Mike Tyson Edited March 25, 2015 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 ,I'm sure 54 yr old Clarkson I just had to google that to check that he was only 54. He looks terrible for someone that age. I had him down as being in his mid 60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
