racism i can live with,....
dont know what your views on this are, but i think it's just typical non-pc clarkson. no big deal. but the comical thing about this is that harriet harman is calling for his resignation. i was aware of her involvement with the paedophile exchange long before the daily mail brought it to the public's attention. she never condemned their efforts to lower the age of consent to 10 or their attempt to make photos of children legal. racism i can live with, paedophilia is in 'bullet to the head' territory as far as i'm concerned.
Not that I'm a fan of (attention seeker, overpaid) Clarkson, but it's how you use words that matter, not what you say.Didn't Harman call Danny Alexander a 'Ginger Rodent' http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-11658228 ?Perhaps she shouldn't be such a hypocrite ?
This country has gone totally frigging mad, pathetic even!

i know people tend to think of racism as a colour thing but i've had some stick when i was younger for being half german. i have a number of polish mates i ride with and they put up with the abuse because it's sort of accepted. having delved into my family history, i found that my grandad was polish and my gran a romanian gipsy which would explain why my shed is full of bike junk!
Think, having watched the vid clip that was rather tongue in cheek at least she never used the word nigger, Clarkson has been pushing the boundaries for sometime now. All I will say shame she was not the leader of the Labour party got more about her than most off those twats.
IMO - These days you can't say jack shit without having to contemplate the fall out. A spade is a spade yes? Nothing racist about the is there? Or is there? When I was a kid all this racist crap never existed. (What I mean is walking on eggshells all the time.- as someone said 'cringing when asking for a black coffee - its Americano now?'Also.. none of the people I went to school with had ADHD or whatever it's called - I believe that 1 in 10 kids now have it (10%)! WTF?
How come there wasn't an outcry when he was going on about bikers near his home, he said " nothing a length of wire streched across the road won't solve" or was I the only person watching that program?

Who cares? The role Clarkson plays is an ass, but that's all it is A ROLE. He has made a great deal of money by saying controversial and sometimes offensive stuff, which is why there are idiots hanging off his every word in the hope that they can scandalise it and bring him down.Surely there is more important things going on in the world to be filling the news rather than what some podgy, over the hill, TV celeb might or might not have said?
