Thunderbird Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Hes a very clever man. Makes a fortune out of being a complete tool. its us who are the idiots +1 Absolutely my point. Same league as Chris Moyles, Jonathan Woss etc. Treat their audience with utter contempt and laugh all the way to the bank. Nice work if you can get it.

J@mes Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) I think some of you need to wake up and stop worrying so much about what people say. Do you honestly, honestly think he meant it? Give me a break ***. You could tell by his actions that he was not interested in being there in the slightest, and every time the camera panned to his face you could see he was cooking up something offensive to say! I was LOL'ing at the presenters faces when he came out with what he did, I bet they were getting a right bloody earful from the producer/editor or whoever to try and get the subject moved on, and quick!

He said stuff in support of the strikes too but that's been lost in the interests of sensationalist ****. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksdad Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Its freedom of speech, and he's right, so whats to moan about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeh Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 You know that man is a hypocrite when he says ' "I mean, how dare they go on strike when they've got these gilt-edged pensions that are going to be guaranteed while the rest of us have to work for a living." I don't know what he pay is, but I know it's more than everyone else combined in this thread combined, and further to the point I'm sure the BBC pension isn't bad either!. I'm afraid teachers will have the last laugh. They are the first of many; people outside the public sector will get effected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 There is a dual element to this thread. Those who are focusing on his comments and whether or not they care or whether the comments matter. And those who know what's going on. 'Freedom' of speech? It could be argued that his comments (taken literally) are illegal. There are 'rights' which people think we have which we actually don't, at least not in the way people believe.

Gordon R Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Try saying what Clarkson said and see whether there is freedom of speech. :lol: He has a talent, but sometimes he is merely stupid. This was one of those occasions. He can say what he wants, so can I. He is past his sell by date, bit of a wimp, as honest as they come (NOT), faithful, :lol: but he still entertains me.

I'm afraid teachers will have the last laugh. They are the first of many; people outside the public sector will get effected. Hypocrate?Has Clarkson been on strike?Would we notice,or even care? Hasn't Jimmy Carr and Ricky Gervais been featured in the media recently for their comments regarding the mentally and physically handicapped?These people make outrageous comments as part of their job;to initiate a response from an audience.Frankie Boyle does the same. Does the fact Clarkson earns a lot of money preclude him from expressing an opinion?I may be wrong but I didn't know Clarkson was eligible for a BBC pension.Isn't he there on a sub-contracting self-employed basis?The Beeb pay his contract to keep him there as far as I know,they can fire him,but I don't think he has a pension with them.

Clarkson is a self employed entertainer, he is not employed by the BBC, they pay his fees so he won't get a sniff of a BBC pension, he will invest privately, probably in property. His job nay look all fun but I bet he doesn't get much free time.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unapalomablanca Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) All these offended people dident exist years ago, they still dont now. This 'being offended' is a modern thing along with imaginary afflictions like Tourettes, M.E., A.D.H.D., Health obsessions, Dyslexia, Wheat and Dairy intolerances, Gluten issues, Imaginary allergies etc. They are an industry which create other ******** remedies like omega 3, homeopathy, aromatherapy, accupuncture and all other manner of potions and theories designed to make money and excuse bad behaviour or weakness. I have people offend me all the time but i dont care, i just retaliate. All this protest at Clarkson is just done by people who lack humour, but who have vast amounts of 'mock indignation'!!!

bakerboy Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) What's the relationship Shaun? Clarkson's Mum added the Boots to Paddington Bear which helped make the toy bear stand up, she probably had another part to play in the Paddington Bear toy story as well, but of that I do not know. For what it is worth, I think Clarkson is a loud mouthed, self opinionated fool, who this afternoon has had to apologise.
