Clarkson Suspended...

[hopless500]

I'm also a motorist, and detest this charmless idiot. There is absolutely nothing about this creature that endears him to me. I can't watch ANY programme he appears on. He is nothing but a contaminant.

That's fine. No-one is forcing you to watch him or Top Gear.

I can't believe the support for this toss-pot coming from a cycling forum!

I cant believe people on a forum where the term MTFU is frequently used can possibly be offended or insulted by anything Jeremy Clarkson says.

Maybe its about time some actually do MTFU.

I don't agree, but that is your perception, not mine.
Drivers acting like idiots on the roads are more likely to make me ashamed to admit to having a licence.

BBC Worldwide then went on to buy out Mr Clarkson and Mr Wilman in September 2012, giving Mr Clarkson a windfall of £14m, the Guardian reported.
Mr Clarkson then set up a company called Newincco 1189 which turned a £600,000 profit in 2012, the Guardian said.

So, the BBC bought a company who's main asset was Clarkson himself. Can anyone spot the flaws in that move ?

Yeah but I find that he brings decent drivers into disrepute, so much so that I am ashamed to admit that I have a licence.

Up until recently he had a clean licence. link. Which probably means it's the first time he's been caught, but I'm sure he's not the only one that can say that.

 

[Piemaster]

Sorry, I am not seeing the relevance.

You brought driving licences into it. I don't see the relevance either.

Clarkson holds a sort of office as the country's chief representative for drivers.

No he doesn't. I'm surprised at you, Adrian. It's a bit like saying that RLJ'ers give ALL cyclists a bad name. Bollox to that; they don't give anyone other than themselves a bad name.

Although the thing he did a bit ago where he traced his family was rather good.

In the rest of his work, I don't find his repackaging of the status quo as spiky contrarianism appealing, personally, but, a chacun son gout, as the man himself might say, were he not pretending to be an oaf for money.

For the record, I loathe that expression. Also "rule 5". If you're not riding for money, it's meant to be fun, for pitys sake.

 

[jonny jeez]

You like the racism, sexism, homophobia, arrogance and bullying? What a larf.

nope...pretty sure that's now what I said...again.

Enjoying a persona doesn't mean I have to agree with the personas viewpoint or make a judgement about the person playing that persona.

Peter griffin (murderer, alcoholism child abuser to name a few)
Del boy (criminal)
Captain flash heart ( sexist, narsisist)
Edmund Black adder ( murderer, abuser)
Walter White ( drug dealer, murderer, criminal)
Dexter Morgan (serial killer)

Etc etc.

You really need to read my post before telling me what I do and don't like.

Adrian was trying to take the mick by mocking a familiar claim from the cycle fraternity.

So, irony is ok...but just not from a TV persona ?

 

[TVC]

It has just been pointed out that more people have signed the petition to reinstate Clarkson than signed the petition to end Female Genital Mutilation.

Brilliant, just feckin brilliant.

Sorry , spell check changed TV to, to.
