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 .....

Not just "a bit of a moron" - he's an M & S moron, strictly top of the range flatulating 4x4 .....

He's an absolute arsehole. A boring, predictable, trolling, delusional sack of crap with the same tedious headlines and the same tedious controversial comments week in week out.

"There is a line and he crossed it. You can't go on a family show at 7pm on the BBC's most popular TV channel and call for people to be murdered in front of their families and still be allowed to front a BBC programme."

He was on there to Sell his DVD

Michael White puts his views



I enlarged a good bit on my Next Post

[arista]

Is Clarkson a simplistic populist or an eager and wealthy instrument of corporate interests, even though he's a public sector employee of sorts himself, by virtue of his BBC contracts?
