Jeremy Clarkson "strikers should be shot in front of their families" debate (C4 News, 1.12.11)

[MrSimoncoward]

JAMES DELINGPOLE NEEDS TOOO BE SHOT THE RETARD FAGGOT!

[TheTartantoker]

aw cum on he says wut he feels gee the guy a break hes nae pokerface go jeremey lol

[kynismos]

Ze englisch, no zense of humor!

[broadshoulder]

Why is objecting to this bar room boor wanting to shoot people he doesn't like mean that an entire nation has lost his sense of humour? I think deep deep down he meant it.

[Consolized]

No fucking sense of humour. This was British humour at it's finest, take it and suck it up, too much political correctness in this country!

[Braithwaite1922]

Ofcom has said Clarkson's comment about executing people in front of their children was jus a joke.

Lets hope Ofcom takes the same stance on jokes about niggers and pakis

[bigbotherone]

cliffhanger?

THE ONE THING IS???

[acenace24]

5000 people complained? Oh no! .000003 percent of the population (That isnt correct, i know)

[DrsJacksonn]

0:40 Oh gosh what a buzz kill

[seansco1]

that twat with the specks talk some shite

[Boborodful]

Jeremy even said since this is BBC we must even this out right? So it is a joke! lol

[6LuxSp]

Karl blabbers about kids and stuff, it's only a 20 minutes sentence for God's Sake! It's not like children would've paid any attention to that particular sentence, especially if they like to watch top gear. They know too well to miss those jokes! I think Karl, is in a way, a kid. Aspects of his arguments are irrelevant to eachother. He's just too, extensively, sensitive. like a broken hearted girl. In this case, so is the first person who posted the first a protest against Jezza's words..

[hunghuge12]

What happened to free speech? Someone says what he likes and gets this? What a load of shit.

[hamzakoko89]

how the hell this tallking like dog

[CrazyEddi3]

Of course "Dave" would defend him, he roughs him up the stink with Cameron, Murdoch the younger & Wade & he lives off Mummy & Daddy's money, probably hasn't had to work a fucking day in his life. Champagne collectivist cunts.

[PotRipp3r]

why would children who are 5/6yrs be awake to watch this anyway? the younger generation are fucked anyway, personally i blame music.

[PotRipp3r]

Karl Turner is a complete bell end, no sense of humour, i agree with Jeremy.

[magnusea]

This debate take place in an eternal process towards our values in society. Of course we don't like executions, but I think it's good to discuss this comment, and that this was what Clarkson expected. I don't think this is about political correctness (which is a problem). In Sweden anyone suggesting a ban on burqa for school children are stigmatized. Everywhere. No one even dare to discuss it. We are lost, in UK you're discuss things...

[magnusea]

Or maybe things aren't discussed as they should in UK, for example mass immigration, and radical Islam, but hopefully it's get better...

[whaddabunchashit]

Mr. Karl Turner, I find you an utter twat. Ugh, lighten up ya fuck, do it for the children!

[leelee23231]

What a load of fucking rubbish, what about when children are there when most adults are watching the news before 9 and the world is killing each other, surely that should be giving them nightmares. So 9/11 for example and children dreaming of planes flying into there houses ha

[LOCOMOTIONNUMBER1]

Ed Millipede is just a closet Marxist. He supports a political system that is dead in the water,

The leader of the opposition is just a chocolate teapot like Gordon Brown.

[gillyfish79]

Argue the toss.

Brilliant. :p

[cheselz]

who gives a shit?? oh no children go to bed with images of people being shot! thats horrible!!

what a bunch of pussys

[GodLiberty]

One person living in the real world, the other one living in some pc, pathetic nation.....wait a minute....

[Larry3200]

hahaha ed milliband, who cares what that cunt thinks.

[davidoakleykarate]

Bloke in glasses total cunt

[mikesheen741]

@davidoakleykarate They're both in glasses.

[charlieiscool1000]

Ed milband the weak and extreme left winger as he is cant get enough of attacking people who speak the truth every weak he will destroy this country once and for all.

[pumpkinking49]

kids don't watch the fucking news fucking knob learn how to laugh you four eyed twat

[LouisPlume]

Shoot every one in the studio.

[WayneBurgess1]

What an arse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO Children thinking Mum or dad going to be shot PMSL What a crock of shite!!!!!!!!!!!

[Br0wning1]

Karl Turner needs to take his head for a shit

[g0801215]

The media has had it in for Clarkson for a while now.

[themysteryguy277]

How can children be offended when 90% don't actually know what EXECUTED really means. To me this is a load of rubbish and this shows that people can't take a joke in Britain any more.

[thechucknorrisraper]

everyone should be shot -.-

[CowLunch]

This is so fucking stupid, I can't believe how ignorant and pathetic people are. It was a joke, it was not inciting hatred or condoning murder. FFS I want to emigrate.

[CowLunch]

Notice how Cameron says: "I don't really know what the comment was but I'm sure it was silly" and Milliband say: "This is disgraceful! AAAH KILL THE FUCK!!!" Fuck labour, fuck the masses, fuck the brain-dead idiots, you will not win, fuck you all, we are coming for you!!

[CowLunch]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I am a fucking moron with no sense of humour! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAA. Fuck labour, wankers

[behnambazmi]

THE CHILDREN, THINK OF THE CHILDREN, fucking douchbag. hope you get shot by THE CHILDREN. Karl Turner MP is a cunt face

[slugmandrew]

"THE CHILDREN, THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!" Karl Turner MP - douchebag from now on in my mind. He had nothing of content to say.

[Llamehtdos2]

Turner is a fool! Clarkson told the truth!

[gudster]

Just the usual manufactured outrage of the Left.

Bunch of disingenous pricks.

[MilitantOldLady]

Ah FUCK the children and those whiners....Go on Jeremy!

[hexualdeviant]

OMG! Won't someone think of the CHILDREN!

FFS.

[j4416m]

@hexualdeviant Oh yeah... You're right... I'm sure loads of kids watch the One Show........ while they're disguising politics too... Why do you think we have the fucking Disney channel

[Salivagenes]

Some people get so pissy about little remarks that are clearly jokes.

And that guy near the end... using children in his arguments is fucking pathetic.

[TheMessyfeet]

I want to know what the one thing is! [the end of the video]

[TopTellyFan]

@TheMessyfeet Hehe :)

There was no other clear end to the video, and I thought that one might be amusing :)

[2012GST]

Clarkson try making that joke about your RICH MP and Banking buddies. You twat.

[Gandalf606]

"hate speech" ?!?!?  Is that bloke seriously thick? It WAS A JOKE you moron.

[cheekyboy5000]

"Jeremy Clarkson behaves like Jeremy Clarkson" I wonder if vile Delingpole felt the same way about Russell Brand and Sachsgate. Probably not.

[Hunter1428]

I bet Karl Turner kids have MW2

[utubemaster047]

Ian hislop Jeremy clarkson

[utubemaster047]

The guy on the right was repeating the same point over and over again about children being traumatised to different questions. He should have gone on tv with more preparation.

[xg3000]

shut up. children wont be offended. these two idiots should be shot in front if their children.

[Thecrazzydiamond]

"Think of the children. Will someone please think of the children!"

[Ninjasquirrel5]

Fucking hilarious! He trolled you all. Yay! Clarkson for Prime Minister.

[icecreamscuseme]

Delingpole is right in some ways such as there shouldn't be a media hysteria around this and that politicians have to be more careful of what they say than someone like Clarkson. However, not everyone is going to view what Clarkson says as a joke and people are allowed to criticise him. It's not right for us to sit here and take what he says as a pinch of salt. People should call him up on it and inspire debate. I'd more take him up on the laziness and knowingness of how he is.

[icecreamscuseme]

Karl Turner is quite useless here, I agree. Also, C4 didn't show how Clarkson was (failing) to communicate two extremes for comedic effect in order to mock the BBC's impartiality. He said he wanted to make a pro-striker statement then an anti-one but it came across like, as Ian Hislop put it, "I think the strike is great cos I speed fast and I hate strikers, they should die" which suggest that neither are particularly pro-striker.

[Troutbabies]

Selfish upper class idiot...im sure he never worries about putting bread on the table...idiot

[SWarrenJP]

Somebody please think of the children!!

[azn069]

He has a point. Context is everything. End of.

[limetang]

Oh and the comment on children going to bed with images of execution in their heads. Please. Firstly No child watches the one show. I remember being a child and I remember thinking programmes like that were boring as ****. And secondly children watch things with far more graphic and disturbing content in it than that. And also if they're able to understand what execution is then that idea is already in their head so...

[limetang]

I have lost all respect for Clarkson. Not because of what he said, but because he apologised. He had absolutely nothing to apologise for and was merely backing down to pressure. The joke in itself wasn't even about the strikers. It was a joke about the BBC and it's impartiality rules. And if people are stupid enough to listen to a comment out of context and get worked up about it. Who gives a fuck. They've proven themselves to be morons whose opinion means nothing.

[hamneggwich]

When I was a kid, from the age of 6 or so, I played Jurassic Park with my friends in the neighbourhood. We'd have teams of dinosaurs and humans, WITH TOY GUNS*gasp shock*. And we killed each other all goddamn day during those summers. Humans shooting raptors, raptors disembowling humans, it was awesome! Went to bed with images of dinosaur induced death in my head, and thought about how to hunt them more efficiently lol. Seriously pissed myself at that guy who was worried about the children xD.

[hamneggwich]

WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN.

Lol!!

[andeegreen]

THIS COUNTRY NEEDS TO BLOODY WELL WAKE UP! CHILDREN GOING TO BED WITH IMAGES OF THEIR PARENTS BEING SHOT??? OH DO ME A FAVOUR! WHY DO WE EVEN NEED TO DISCUSS THE MATTER ON TV OR HERE ON YT ????!!!!

[Gigleburp]

Kids pretend to kill each other all the time, How can so many, Be hurt so much, By so Little?

[MrCityBug]

James Delingpole, spot on, Milliband and the rest, just out to get their faces on telly again, as for using kids as amo, well says it all really.

Freedom of speach no longer exists, Pathetic

[BeigeGenius]

What the fudge! Obviously there are a lot of people unable to observe simple body language and the way someone speaks and not just what they say.

Not to mention Clarkson exaggerates for "comedic" value.

I think the majority of the British population needs a mass un-bunching of their panties!

[Valliant2007]

The motive was to balance his previous comment made about the strikes being a good thing, he even stated this before he said it... The fool on the right talking about kids going to bed thinking about execution? Most kids learn about execution in infant school.... Just saying!

[Lan5in6]

hiding behind the children is pitiful

[TheJoemoze]

IT WAS A JOKE it dosent need this much hassle!!!! but i agree he should be more careful with his words...

[Amathusukx]

James Delingpole spot on

[britturk123]

James delingpole is another knob head.

[astraGsi7888]

wat kids watch new that would be scared fucking idiots

[ianguillermo86]

Shame one those who call them selves british in origin yet milk the benefit system and feel no need to commit and aid in their countries suffering in the current financial climate. And to the hate preachers, if you hate us FUCK OFF. If you are offended by England waving ITS FLAG then simply leave. Because you came to ENGLAND. THAT IS ITS NAME. THAT IS OUR FLAG. UNION JACK AND ST GEORGES CROSS. Remember you came here.

[ianguillermo86]

Clarkson is an entertainer. Never to be taken seriously. He speaks his mind unlike any of the other cowards on there. Im gonna speak mine, you come to england, learn the effing language! Would kinda help...Also, England is and Island, aint that big. So what the hell makes you think that we have enough space for any more people. And to the english who moan about foreigners taking their jobs then how many of you even know what real work is. There is a flip side of the coin and shame.

[ianguillermo86]

And I can say this. Take you Political correctness and shove it where your deity declares sodomy. Now kids arent dumb. Believe it or not they are not going to think Im gonna shoot someone now. How the hell can you think that?! MORRON!!!

[ianguillermo86]

Im tired of the pomposity that is sweeping the nation of so called great britain.  It was great it isnt now thanks to the PC police. Im sorry Im half colombian half british I have two passports and I was born and raised on STONY STRATFORD a town thats been around since the romans.

[TeTs90x]

@TF25000 How dare I what? Express an opinion? You are contradicting yourself by implying that I should keep quiet if I disagree with something. Did you read what I wrote originally or only part of it? I have NOTHING against controversial comedy when it is constructive or at challenging in content. Clarkson spouts stereotypes, sexism, xenophobia etc. I find him quite repugnant and LAZY in his style. Don't understand what you're referencing in regards to your comment about children, explain?

[MrRedeeps]

shall i need to mention then that "nail" in my last sentence should NOT be taken literally hence is NOT a life threat? lamo.

[MrRedeeps]

the libtard is a hyprocritical bigot! if he really really worried about the children, he must condamn every single western, war drama, crime movie and particularly thrillers, including all actors and directors to say the least! what's the diff? after all they are all paid entertainers broadcasting on TV, "threating the lives"of the public and " children", the same as clarkson on a entertainment programme for a comedy role? if i were dalingpole, i would have nailed that sucker right on live tv!

[BristolSpotterHD]

its just some harmless fun.... if franky boyle gets away from it why cant jeremy?

[meonia11]

Karen Jennings should be shot, along with Ed Milliband, and David Cameron needs to grow a pair of balls. Are we turning into Iran, where we can't make a sarcastic joke? He was completely right though about the public sector receiving Gilt-edge pensions and the rest of us will have to work for a living to pay for it. Plenty of folk in the private sector are struggling to keep their jobs. Labour and UNISON have cost our economy billions. FYI: 1st sentence was a joke.

[TopTellyFan]

@meonia11 Those at the very top of the public sector might get Gilt-edged pensions, but the lackeys doing the job on the front-line don't get a great deal more than the private sector. It's a common misconception that they're ALL on the gravy train.

[meonia11]

@TopTellyFan so you agree they get more than the private sector then? You see it's the 62% of the private sector that has to pay for the 38% of the public sector. For starters, there's far too many people working in the public sector, it is economically unsustainable. The Labour government screwed things up again exactly in the same manner as they did 30 years ago. Margaret Thatcher then had to take over and implement unpopular but necessary austerity cuts. It's gone full circle once again..

[TopTellyFan]

@meonia11 The frontline staff are on much lower pay than the private sector though, so overall the private sector staff wins, comparing frontline only. As for there being too many people working in the public sector, only in the management. The frontline staff numbers have been slashed so much that the backlogs of work will never get cleared fully. They need more staff if anything, or for the management to do proper work.

[meonia11]

@TopTellyFan only in the management? My sister worked for a council as a temp. After her first day of work she was told to slow down.She did in a day what they normally did in a week, and we're talking a secretarial job. The roads sector is another one that gets my goat. Changing road systems several times per year when there's no need. What's needed is some great Chief Execs to scrutinise every department's spending and redistribute budgets accordingly. Not frivolous waste of taxpayer's money.

[TopTellyFan]

@meonia11 Well, we all know that councils only spend their full budget of road-digging-up money so they can get the full budget again next year. A shame they don't put it to good use by repairing potholes.

As for your sister, how long ago was that? Do a job where you're dealing direct with the public and there's no easily life in there, I promise you that.

[ut8t5]

@meonia11 Karl Turner should also be taken out and shot.

[ConanCnutKicker]

or at the very least, given a damn good kicking!!!

[MirageCards]

@meonia11 You are DUUUUMB. Dont enforce your political views on us.

[meonia11]

@MirageCards Learn to spell "dumb" first before you start spouting nonsense. I have no power to enforce my political views. Have a nice day and try to have a laugh. Tis' the season to be jolly...

[MirageCards]

@meonia11 Yes, tis indeed. Sorry

[iiCraZz56]

Oh my god everyone, get a sense of humour. In context it wasn't that bad!

[DarkIngrid100]

God they're sooooo stupid! I mean Jezza probably didn't agree with the strikes but everyone with at least 2 brain cells knows that he likes to play around and exaggerate. He's just a big kid and they relly need to chill. They're right about the no sense of humour in England though.

[TerrySleeper]

Just another petrol-head wanker pushing his book.

[TeTs90x]

I don't think we've lost our sense of humour at all. I like a lot of comedians who are controversial than Clarkson. The difference is that those comedians are challenging stereotypes, taking on big issues and using shock value in order to make a point (I'm talking South Park, Bill Hicks, George Carlin). Clarkson drags out the same old stereotypes and various other tired, offensive cliches and excuses it - saying 'oh, it's just a joke', Hopefully this time he will suffer some true recourse!

[SummersRevengeMCR]

Oh for christ sake. The children? What the fuck. It was a laugh.

[WayneBurgess1]

Karl your a cock. PMSL how many kids watch the programme?

[WTJWproductions]

*sighs*

Why can't we just acknowledge Jeremy Clarkson's sense of humor or whatever stupidity that was and get on with our lives?

At the end of the day... It gets dark

[MistahhhhYoung]

omfg these guys need to lighten up

[08CJ11]

VERY FUNNY

[92westhamboy]

kids shouldnt even know what 'executing' means!!

[SazzyRazzy]

What gets to me is that two men got four years in prison for encouraging riots. Yet Clarkson does the same thing by encouraging people violence but it's alright because he doesn't really mean it. If Cameron really thinks that we're all in this together then Clarkson should get the same treatment. Why should he be let off? When two men are in prison for doing the same thing.

[newagemisfit]

@SazzyRazzy There is the defence of 'hi-jinks' that is available to all those from privileged backgrounds. Clegg was a cacti arsonist, Cameron and Johnston used to wreck restaurants. However this 'hi-jinks' is quite different from 'loutish' behaviour that disadvantaged people often display when feeling excluded from society.

[Nekro9000]

No.. the prime minister should of come out and said "piss off and get a life im busy trying to fix the country not have a playground debate"

[iresibuh1988]

We must still have a sense of humour because this debate actually aired.

[IO23777]

What a shower of Paternalistic moralizing busybodies the modern Labour Party has become "The Children The Children!" it's all effected Bullsh@# - never vote for them.

[Acmmvideo]

My 12 yr old kid went to bed laughing his ass off at what JC said simply because I have brought him up to live in the real world, I even let him sing Ba Ba Blacksheep... :o

[rafpilotos]

@Acmmvideo To true. this country is becoming to PC now ... you can't say anything with out being accused of racism or something ... i mean how many children where offended ...? but yeah. hats of to you sir!

[mylo8690]

LIGHTEN THE FUCK UP



[sonicgsxr750]

JEREMY CLARKSON FOR PM, 

[sonicgsxr750]

what a pair of arseholes

[crabman2020]

Karl Turner youre a retarded bellend

[sparkymmilarky]

Typical labour politician

If anyone should be shot, it's Ed Miliband

[Katajero]

Children watch The One Show?

[BristolSpotterHD]

@Katajero " Mummy why cant you be that good looking?"

[MrRedeeps]

@Katajero

yep, according to that labour genius , children watch it everyday day at 9pm, with dictionaries in hands...

[TeTs90x]

@MrRedeeps It's on at seven and I knew what execution meant as a child... I'm not saying that I really agree with the Labour representative in this debate but get your facts straight son!

[scottishbadboytracks]

Why is this even being talked about?

Why dont they ask about why nearly every news channel was showing footage of gaddafi being killed for about 24 hours straight?What about the all children round the world that saw that?That wasnt a joke that was brutal and real but ive not heard one complaint about it have any of you?

[SlackerSlayer]

@scottishbadboytracks Yes, and the fact he was innocent of the wests claims against him,,, all for giving the muslim Libyan a good life free from the fear of being without a home.

[MrWatchdog2007]

hey jeremy wil use his own money 4 his pension,nt expect the goverment 2 pay.we should save our own.if weve nt got,we work long enough! Tough.unions crawl back where u came frm and stop bleetin.why should i have 2 pay my hard earnt money 2 u!

[TheRealJoeSparrow]

someone needs to tell Karl Turner that its the kids who have the guns anyway

[TheRealJoeSparrow]

2 for 1 at specsavers?

[nick945]

He was mocking the BBC by having to "balance out his comments". People are taking this totaly out of context.

[roddis92]

Think about the children... don't strike, go back to to school and do your job.

[S4uce1]

oh wont somebody PLEASE think of the children!!

[infomattech]

Milliband = cock

[zigor4]

some people should just stop using public services like state schools and the nhs if they hate it so much..go on just pay for things privately you scrounging right wing thickos

[ArchbishopOfCombat18]

@zigor4 Yes you're right, those people should have the option of opting out of paying tax so they can go private.

[matbbm]

@zigor4 not for long privat school will be no more in britain. we will be a socialist state soon

[zigor4]

its quite clear that in this country people who think this is funny need to get a better understanding of what humour is. the sooner this rich pompous right wing bellend gets the sack the better

[evolution1088]

That Karl Turner wants to get a life and a sense of humour!!!! I have not heard so much drivell in ages!!! oh... I forgot...hes a lawyer and MP...BIG DEAL...Clarkson is FANTASTIC....I'd vote for him if I could...he says what a lot of people think!!!!....and anyway...how many small children would be watching the 1show or any other news related programme?? not many I would imagine....also there is mass mayhem murder and destruction in so many of the computer games. Get a life You Saddos.....

[TheShiningPaladin]

Fucking idiot since when do kids watch news?

[TheWeepingCorpse]

5000 complaints out of millions of viewers. big fucking deal. Clarkson shouldn't have apologised and fuck millipeed who the fuck is he anyway and as for Karl Turner, typical labour spouting left wing bullshit, what an utter cunt he his. I wouldnt piss on him if he was on fire.

[themachman19691]

@TheWeepingCorpse coming form someone who lists pink and katie melua as musical tastes???you know fuck all.the man is camerons best buddy and has never had a poor day in his life!

[TheWeepingCorpse]

@themachman19691 yeah your comment is full of well thought out logic. now fuck off you NHS lackey.

[themachman19691]

@TheWeepingCorpse you know fuck all wanker
