We are all entitled to an opinion, but if we don't like the opinion of others, is deleting everything the answer.

Disappointing to read that banning or gagging a point of view is a preferred option by some.

ooo0ooo

Is the R in Clarkson his denominator for racist or realist - only the buffoon himself would truly know. In the meantime one should respect all those for or against his dismissal.

Yep... all entitled to express an opinion. As long as it doesn't risk offending some group or other. We might as well all shut the feck up. ...

Be true to yourself. That way happiness lies...

whats annoying is that 99% of the time the people of that particular group don't give a damn, its just the stupid bosses over-reacting saying something might be offensive to 'X' group of people. In a minute we aren't going to be able to say anything to one another.

I once worked in a call centre (thank god only for a few years) and we weren't allowed to send birthday cards to staff or wish any of the callers happy christmas in case it offended someone. utterly pathetic.

I've been watching Til Death Do Us Part recently with good 'old Alf Garnett ranting and raving about what he called the paki's and coons its a brilliantly funny program and no doubt would be banned today but it wasn't offensive, just good old fashioned humour.

You can't beat a bit of Socialism in a debate can you? If we don't like what you say or think, we will shut down the conversation immediately and label you a 'bigot' or a 'wayyythithht'.

I doubt they've missed it - just chosen to ignore it.

I also noticed that more recent showings of The Dambusters have reverted to calling GG's dog N****r again, instead of dubbing it Digger as they used to. Steve

Unless one of his close friends, not one of us here knows if Clarkson is racist or not, so berating or defending him is kind of pointless.

Unless you believe he did it intentionally for the publicity (unlikely as it's 2 years old and dug up by a Morgan tabloid) all it really proves is incredibly poor judgement. Personally, I don't think he should be sacked but virtually everyone with a 'real' job would be shown the door for doing the same. As licence payers we literally pay his wages so maybe we should decide... Now, there's an idea for a TV show...

Give Clarkson a position in the government - he would soon sort our country out! Bow down
