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-sc...s-11658228 ?
Perhaps she shouldn't be such a hypocrite ?

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.

Oh  I'm awake now, I missed this one thought it was still going on about the slope comment.......
Ginger rodent is just as bad and/or humorous and shouldn't be excused as tongue and cheek. It should be one rule across the board. In fact in comparison it's worse as it was actually directed at a person. Just that that person probably laughed it off.
Makes me laugh how the 'N' word is so taboo when a white person uses it (in any context) yet it's ok for coloured people to call each other it in  public and in fact write it in to song lyrics.


Interestingly I'm glad but surprised that 'Stupidity' hadn't bleeped out Nigger in the 'Dam busters' the last time I watched it
