Agreed, it's terrible that toilet cleaners and bin men get paid less than doctors, and that people like Clarkson or footballers get a decent cut of the money they make for their employers. Far better if everyone was stuck on the same ****ty wage whilst the men at the top take everything and live in complete luxury.

Now even for you that spectacularly misses the point.

I did not in any way, shape or form suggest that everyone should be paid the same amount of money. I suggested, in what i thought was quite a clear manner but obviously it went over some heads, was that people shouldnt be able to do whatever the hell they want because they make money for their organisation.

Should a public body pay a lot of money to ****s like ?Ross who don't entertain many?

Unfortunately the days of TV producing entertaining and informative stuff,and ITVused to as well have gone. Kids today don't have the attention necessary or the inclination.

The idea that the BBC, packed to the gunnels with Guardian reading types, has any chance of offering an unbiased view of the world is risible.

***Chip on shoulder alert*** It's apparent that anyone left of Genghis Khan is a dangerous/pathetic leftie for you.

It is hypocritical of the BBC the way they've dealt with Clarkson and Brand and Ross.

What's worse a joke that turned into lewd answer phone message. Or aiming a punch at your boss?

What makes Clarkson a twat is this 'I'm untouchable' attitude because he's worth millions to the BBC

He aimed a punch at The Lord Hall Of Birkenhead? Blimey!

Anyone not reading the Guardian is no doubt a Nazi and anyone earning a £1 more a ruthless capitalist who should be taxed to the hilt.
 
The obvious solution is for Clarkson to resign, apologise on every TV channel and in every newspaper, to donate his personal wealth to the victims of work place violence, to work unpaid in a soup kitchen in Rotherham where hot dinners are rare and to disappear up his own sphincter for ever ... :emoticon-0138-think.
 
I don't find Clarkson funny.

He comes across as a frizzy haired bully boy who has to get his own way, otherwise he sulks or kicks off.

It's been said he's racist, regarding that I couldn't say.

One thing he is 100% guilty of though, and this is far, far worse that being a racialist is the following;

Two words.

DOUBLE DENIM.

I think I've even seen him triple denim( jeans, shirt and jacket) but I might be making that up.

Defo doubles up on the denim though.

And for that I say CLARKSON OUT!!!!
 
They're no longer just scrapping the showing of Sunday's programme, they've now scrapped the final two episodes completely.

It will still be a surprise if they bin him though...

Key stats
  • Guinness Book of Records holder for most watched factual programme in the world

  • Over 4 million unique users on topgear.com every month
  • Half a billion page views in the last year
  • Over 8.9 million downloads of Top Gear game apps
  • Over 1.5 million visitors to Top Gear Live
Audience

That's rather the point of the post.

But the Top Gear comments (jokes) did contain humour, albeit, maybe not to some tastes; that was simply a statement without a hint of humour or context. If it meant to be an attempt at irony, of whatever type, then it missed the mark.
