Jeremy Clarkson's One Show rant: complaints top 31,000

[Omah]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-15977813

The BBC has apologised after Jeremy Clarkson said he would like to see striking public sector workers "shot".

The Top Gear presenter was speaking on the BBC's The One Show on the day of widespread public sector strikes.

He said: "I'd have them all shot. I would take them outside and execute them in front of their families.

A BBC spokesman said: "The One Show apologised at the end of the show to viewers who may have been offended by Jeremy Clarkson's comments."

Jon Trickett, Labour's shadow minister for the Cabinet Office, said: "No one wants these strikes but most of today's strikers are mums, not militants.

"Clarkson should apologise. And the Prime Minister should make clear he disassociates himself from the distasteful remarks uttered by one of his friends."

Cameron and his natsy Tory friends live in a dreadful world of wealth, privilege, greed, ignorance and corruption ..... :eek:

He is entitled to have his 'private' opinion but he goes too far, I personally cannot stand the man and he is the main reason I never watch Top Gear because I have no wish to support hs career in any way.

The comment, joking or not was way out of order and also some daft people may take it into their heads to think, yeah they should be shot.
The only way to shut bigots like Clarkson up or diminish any effect as to what they say may have is to remove their public and media platforms.

He should in my view lose any appointments with the BBC forthwith.He is just a bigoted vile man with totally extreme views.

It's quite interesting to hear his views as I believe his mother was a schoolteacher...of course she didn't need the 'gilt edged' pension as I think she was the lady who made the first Paddington Bears to finance his boarding school fees....I dont think Jeremy has ever had to worry much about money or pensions.....I was more offended by his 'work for a living,like the rest of us....' remark

No fine for Top Gear after Jeremy Clarkson's lorry driver joke

Ofcom clears Top Gear of breaching its broadcasting code after Clarkson, while driving a lorry, said to the other presenters: "What matters to lorry drivers? Murdering prostitutes? Fuel economy?"

A few minutes later Clarkson added: "This is a hard job [driving a lorry] and I'm not just saying this to win favour with lorry drivers: change gear; change gear; change gear; check your mirrors; murder a prostitute … "

The regulator said the comments were justified by the context in which they were made and did not breach its programming code.

Yes but it's a live show and the interview was obviously in jest. They introduced him like this:

Alex Jones: Yep, a guest with balanced, uncontroversial opinions, who makes great effort not to offend.

and then went on to ask him questions about the strike, what do people expect, its Jeremy Clarkson - no need for such fuss

The BBC has received more than 21,000 complaints over Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson's remarks that striking public sector workers should be shot.

He was censured with his comments on The One Show and Unison called for him to be sacked. He later apologised.

Unison said it welcomed the apology and invited Clarkson to spend a day with a healthcare assistant.

BBC Audience Services said the Corporation had received 21,335 complaints as of 09:30 GMT.

I'm glad that people have complained but I hope that's an end of it now - I think even Clarkson got the point ..... ;)

[letmein]

Yesterday was a day of industrial action across much of the UK public sector. Jeremy Clarkson commented on the strikers, as is his wont, during an appearance on the One Show

Trade union Unison has called on the BBC to sack Jeremy Clarkson following his "appalling" comments about killing striking public sector workers.

The union said it was taking legal advice over comments made by the Top Gear presenter on The One Show.

Referring to striking workers, Mr Clarkson said: "I'd have them all shot. I would take them outside and execute them in front of their families."

Unison said it was considering reporting the comments to the police.

The BBC apologised for the comments and also for remarks about railway deaths.

Dave Prentis, general secretary of Unison, said: "Clarkson's comments on The One Show were totally outrageous, and they cannot be tolerated.

"An apology is not enough - we are calling on the BBC to sack Jeremy Clarkson immediately.

"We are seeking urgent legal advice about what further action we can take against him and the BBC, and whether or not his comments should be referred to the police."

He added: "Jeremy Clarkson clearly needs a reminder of just who he is talking about when he calls for public sector workers to be shot in front of their families.

Prime Minister David Cameron, asked about Mr Clarkson's comments during an appearance on ITV's This Morning, said it was "a silly thing to say... I'm sure he didn't mean it".

Speaking before Mr Cameron's interview, Jon Trickett, Labour's shadow minister for the Cabinet Office, said earlier: "No-one wants these strikes but most of [the] strikers are mums, not militants.

"Clarkson should apologise. And the prime minister should make clear he disassociates himself from the distasteful remarks uttered by one of his friends."

Mr Clarkson's comments sparked hundreds of entries on Twitter.

Among them was author Tony Parsons, who wrote: "Jeremy Clarkson has misjudged the moment. Criticising striking public sector workers today is like sieg-heiling at Last Night of the Proms."

This is an absolutely pathetic, over the top reaction to what was obviously a joke. I am sick to death of people complaining about this and other minor, unimportant comments/happenings on TV shows.

Jeremy Clarkson's appearance on BBC1's The One Show is on course to be one of the most complained-about TV shows of all time after the number of complaints topped 31,000.

The Top Gear presenter provoked a viewer furore with his joke that striking public sector workers should be "executed in front of their families".

The latest update on the number of complaints on Monday morning, 31,057, was more than 10,000 up on the last published figure of 21,000 on Friday morning.

No doubt the appalling Clarkson will regards this accievement as a feather in his cap ..... :rolleyes:

Do you honestly think the BBC will sack him if they do?

I mean come on think about it, who is at fault here? A buffoon known for outrageous outbursts against all and sundry or the producers who decided to invite him on and ask those questions?

I wonder how many of the "outraged viewers" actually saw the show live, I also wonder how many are members of certain unions following certain union leaders suggestions about complaining in a "routine" post strike circular.

And in some producers eyes any publicity is good publicity, the viewing figures do go up for Top Gear after these bouts of bad publicity. After all they knew what he was like well before they hired him for Top Gear, they, dare I say it, knew what he was like before the One Show engagement.

Maybe you are blaming the wrong person or people.

Problem is the people who run the One Show had previewed that question and answer and okayed it, he was merely voicing the irritation a lot of people felt at the strike action.

Now if they sacked JC they would also have to sack the producers of the One Show, for booking him, for asking that question when they knew what his answer was.

They would also have to hold to account the review team who failed in the delaying period before transmission to either remove or otherwise censor that comment.

Is it really Clarksons fault? Yes we know he has some very strange attitudes, but so did the people booking him and asking him that question. They had after all rehearsed the questions and answers prior to recording the show.
