Clarkson introuble again for being honest....
He makes a comment off air and it becomes a news item. Looks like if you dont hold the "perscribed views" you are committing thought crimes these days. :razz:
BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Clarkson in new Brown insult row |
this country is pathetic you cant say anything anymore without someone moaning
|
Read these yesterday, did make me giggle.
Jeremy Clarkson: Top 10: Greatest-ever Jeremy Clarkson moments | Facebook |
Sounds like the usual sources making a fuss about nowt though:
"According to the corporation, however, the presenter did not receive a dressing down as has been reported in several newspapers. "As controller of BBC Two she holds both the programme and Jeremy in high regard," it said in a statement. "After the recording she and Jeremy had a discussion about the programme, as controllers and presenters often do." According to eyewitnesses, Clarkson used the offensive word while making off-the-cuff remarks on government policy. Last year media watchdog Ofcom ruled that jokes made by Clarkson on Top Gear about lorry drivers murdering prostitutes did not breach the broadcasting code." |
Having read the article I don't see where he is in trouble? In fact it states he's NOT in trouble for it. It's about time a few moaners realised that celebrities are also people and off air are allowed their own lives and opinions.
Besides, as much as I dislike Clarkson, I'd say that currently a large percentage of people would agree with him that certain four letter words are appropriate to describe Brown and his financial ineptit...um...policy. |
So someone went to see topgear being filmed knowing what it is like and complained about an 'off air' comment.
Tw@t!! Would these people prefer the 'banter' or if they went to see the program they would just appear ready for the filming and then quickly vanish after? |
Im sure the beeb invent these scenarios just to keep Clarkson/Top gear a bit edgy
- well it keeps the rating up |
However: you ARE all aware that Clarkson is actually a raving Tory, aren't you?
He writes for a Tory rag and has been slagging off Labour from WELL before Bliar's time, in fact I SEEM to remember him being a BIG fan of Maggie:eek: But like all the citizens of a certain country in Europe, we can't find anyone who actually SUPPORTED Maggie any more, any more than THEY can find anyone who VOTED for Hitler:rolleyes: |
Why do people care what someone else says, celebrity or otherwise? You don't have to agree with them, and anyway most people think Brown is a ******* ****

Wouldn't worry on JC's part, I am sure that he knows which side his bread is buttered on, , he is I am sure certain of just how far he can go without experiencing a Woss moment and losing income from the BBC cash cow.

The BBC had a go at Sarah Kennedy as well for mentioning that she agreed with Enoch Powell's Rivers of Blood speech.

NOTHING to do with free speech. |
