Good ol' Jezzer...... There is NO doubt whatsoever....he should be PM. He is everything that our weak snivelling politicians are NOT. Hurrah for Mr.C....!!!!
They actually thought he would do everything he said ??? Are they seriously retarded he obviously meant it as a joke and exaggerated his point. He just changed the subject into a joke and since noone seems to be capable of taking a joke they all get angry at jeremy clarkson, like has david cameron and all that lot never heard of a joke before? Shame such sad lonely twats run this country
That's who Jeremy is lol. If people think that he was being serious then they clearly have no idea what he's all about! He says that sort of thing ALL THE TIME!!!
Oh Jeremy, how you make me laugh. Although you are employed by the BBC, a publicly run corporation, which I guess makes you a public sector worker yes? I know you weren't striking but maybe you could be the first public sector worker to get taken out and executed! Then we could all rejoice!
clarckson's face is so repulisve and disgusting, truly the extremely ugly pig's snout. I'm sure that people which are looking at clarckson's pig snout, are vomiting. When he is dying, i will say:Die clarckson you dirty, filthy repulsive pig.
On 30 November 2011 while being interviewed on the BBC's The One Show, Clarkson commented on the UK's public sector strike that day, lauding the capital's empty roads. After mentioning the BBC's need for balance, he said, "I would take them outside and execute them in front of their families."
''These remarks had attracted 21,335 complaints to the BBC within 36 hours; the BBC also received 314 messages of support for Clarkson''.
Only 314 Nazis. 21,335 know what degenerate clarckson is.
Jeremy Clarkson is right-wing conservative Nazi scum and he deserve painfull, agonising death, jst like his repulsive family. Fast, clean death is too good for him.
I hope, that when he is dying, it is he will be squealing as the pig.
god i wish i had the power to piss off as many people as he does. even if i don't agree with his statements i just love how these idiots react. i thought only america was totally humorless
Who cares who at he says that's his right to say and when he bashes country in his tv "show" who take him serious really... Ppl stp being serious and relativate and come on man this guy got a great funny car show, you want to take that off from us and have a boring car show in the place ?
@ChazmanFTW In all fairness it doesn't matter what context he could have said that in..there would still be thousands of sad pricks ringing in to complain. Any right minded person should be mature enough to just brush it off as mindless black humour or whatever.
Don't worry, it's obvious nothing will happen to Clarkson... the miserable cunts who love to complain and whinge will do the exact same thing the next time he opens his mouth and AGAIN, nothing will happen. Just let the far left, PC gimps have their little tantrums and ignore them. Their cries over offence will always go unheard because they're pathetic.
@Thesilverpox And your numerous posts crying about one comment make any relevance do they? I merely stated how sad and pathetic it is to see and hear people whinging about an obviously exaggerated, humorous opinion. I'd love you to show me where these 4 "attempts" are. You're either another greedy public sector worker or a begrudging prick with a chip on his shoulder and a seriously worrying lack of humour.
ok well its my "exaggerated humorous opinion" that you're a fucking idiot, and that you also like to violently masturbate over pictures of Jeremy Clarkson while humming the theme tune to Top Gear! Now I take it you won't be posting any "whinging" replies to this comment, because that would be "sad and pathetic" and imply that that you have a "seriously worrying lack of humour"
@Thesilverpox "satire is a mix of humour & irony, none of which are present here." You're right he wasn't, whoever said so was wrong. As for most people's opinions just read through the comments on this and the copies of this video..it's pretty clear that dryshite, cynical pricks like yourself are in a minority and thank god for that. As for your complete bollox of a second comment,you are whinging like a woman, nothing but negativity and cynicism. You need to clean the sand from your vagina
@MrSimo552 Comments here are hardly representative of what most people think about the public-sector strikes. Even if they were, I doubt you read all 450 of them before coming to that conclusion. It's just more of your unfounded bullshit . Listen carefully Dickhead, Clarkson has already apologised for these remarks(sniveling prick that he is) so why do you continue to endorse his stupidity. As for the women hatred, you might want to watch that. Makes you sound like a bitter repressed homosexual.
@Thesilverpox Read the first 20 and got a general impression most people saw it as a joke. Clarkson apologised the same way all these celebrities apologise...to please their bosses and give the over sensitive gimps and attention seekers of society some peace of mind. I don't endorse stupidity, but i do endorse the right to have a laugh, whether some miserable cunt is "offended" or not. Women hatred? I didn't know women were flawless. I suppose bashing women drivers is repressed homosexuality too
@MrSimo552 People taking offense is not the issue here. In fact I don't think anybody has the right not to be offended. The issue here is that Jeremy Clarkson is a nasty upper class right wing reactionary prick but is somehow still adored by people like you. You should be embarrassed if not ashamed of yourself for defending him. Clarkson himself once said "a sizeable percentage of the UK mindless zombies" Congratulations - you're one of them!
@Thesilverpox what mindless zombies? who exactly was he even talking about? If you're referring to mindless chavs and the morons who sit in with a curry watching x factor and britains got talent on the weekend, well then I would agree with him 100%. I'm defending the right to say something meaningless and have the banter that's all. Why anyone would even consider complaining about what he said or being that sad to ring up and complain to OfCom is beyond me.
I completely agree, what gives them the right to protest for more money?! EVERYONE wants more money! Soldiers get 17k a year, do we protest about it? No. Because it was our decision to join the Army, just like teachers for example, very clever people, could've been Scientists, mathematicians, but chose to be a teacher, and then complained about the pay. Ridiculous.
I think this was way blown out of proportion. Obviously he is only joking, for me it is one of those cringe moments. But one that i would laugh over and not think too much about, but everyone was like ZOMFG! He insulted us, how dare he :L
Clarkson is entitled to his opinion however ill informed or reactionary it is. I guess being an epic dickhead helps sell his books to gormless like-minded cretins all over the UK. Most of the posts here prove that. Beware the RISE OF THE IDIOTS!.
@Thesilverpox he said he didn't mind about the strikes but because it was the BBC and he should present a balanced view, they should all be shot. It wasn't his opinion, it was making a joke of the BBC. It's right there in the video. Yeah, he's usually controversial for the sake of it but we can't deny the 'self-righteous outrage' culture growing; if the union groups had listened properly then they wouldn't have assumed he'd insulted them, which he hadn't, and we wouldn't be talking about this.
@forgetmenotjimmy He didn't mind the strikes as he was able to whizz about london, and the restaurants were empty. Never mind worker rights along as this cock can drive to a fancy restaurant in his sports car. He then reacted with disgust at the notion that he would know someone from the public sector. The outrage here is that this rich upper class prick goes around making these exceptionally crass statements without any sense of irony and people worship him. Top Comment=Clarkson for PM
@Thesilverpox I wouldn't make the mistake of believing that he's expressing his own opinions. If you listen to the things he says on TV and in books, he's rarely being serious. Yes, he has the rich upper class persona but apparently this doesn't bother the majority of people. It's unlikely that he doesn't know anyone in the public sector, he was probably mocking the question; if he actually believed everything he said then I would agree with you but I don't think that's the case.
@Thesilverpox Who said he was trying to be satirical or ironic? He simply took the opinion of the majority of the people, put his controversial remark on the end of it to boil the blood of public sector workers and got over 21,000 complaints. It obviously worked on his end anyway. Job well done Clarkson. :)
@MrSimo552 let me try address your idiotic rant one point at a time;
"Who said he was trying to be satirical or ironic?" Not me, in fact I said the opposite, and that was the problem. Maybe you should try reading comments more carefully before posting your silly little replies.
"He simply took the opinion of the majority of people..." How exactly do you know this is the opinion of the majority of people. You don't of course, so we can discount that as more bollox on your part.
People who are disliking are probably the teachers or the group of brain dead individuals who went on strike for something they don't really understand
the fuck? and this is why I almost missed QI?! thank god for the XL cockup.
i always wonder: who exactly complains about these things? When Clarkson, Ross and the like, people who are, let us not forget, primarily entertainers, say "outrageous" things, what sort of twat sits at home, ferments and thinks they need to set them straight? We, in the rest of the world, like the UK for its sense of humour. Without that, the only other thing we could like you for would be Marmite. and that's a gamble.
People who think Jeremy Clarkson should be sacked for doing his job (aka getting paid to give his and the BBCs opinion in the most prominent way possible) should be shot, they should be taken out and executed in front of their families. . .go on OFCOM, investigate that. Stop wasting everyones time. Jeremy Clarkson is loved world wide for doing exactly what he does here, saying what 90% of people are thinking. People should just grow up and learn to take a joke.
Jeremy Clarkson today caused further outrage with his “Good Morning” comment trigging further complaints to Offcom. The Union of Shift Workers said “ Good Morning is just a provocative comment aimed at getting cheap laughs from shift workers who have to work at night and sleep in the day ”. Clarkson’s comments also triggered uproar in Vietnam with the Vietnamese ambassador saying “ Mr Clarkson comments is an obvious reference to “Good Morning Vietnam” and is a making a racial slur
PEOPLE JEZZA HAS THE SAME HUMAN RIGHTS AS THE REST OF U! TWO OF THOES RIGHTS R THE RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH (INC. INTERNET COMMENTS & OPINIONS) & THE RIGHT TO FORM A UNION.
I have the right to say public sector unions r t*ats (no offense ment) in the same way unions have the right to strike. wether the comments were offensive or not is beside the point IT WAS HIS OPINION!
DO U WANT TO LIVE IN A COUNTRY LIKE NORTH KOREA WHERE NO 1 HAS ANY SPEECH WHT SO EVER? UR CHOICE FREEDOM OF SPEECH OR SILENCE
Its all well and good saying that, but people pay 140quid TV licence every year to watch this cunt smash up stuff. How else are people going to get heard without striking? And dont say voting for fuck sake
if you dont want to pay a tv licence do what i did rent a room all bills included thats the way to fuck up the bbc if everyone did that theyd go out of buisness
why are people having goes at clarkson i thought we had freedom of speech in this country and its obvious hes joking and lazy people should go to work u have no excuses i know what they do sitting about smoking dope while the poles and romanians earn big money doing the jobs they could have done but they chose not to and deliberatly have 10 kids and claim child benifit id take their kids into care and put these people in jail
we do have the right to free speech as defined by article 10 of the EU charter of Human rights "Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions" all he made was an opinion, as is every1 else on this site
The public sector & the unions have the right to strike and form a union and no1 can complain
THESE R THE BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS OF U, ME AND ANY OTHER PERSON LIVING IN THE UK
i still think the strikers should be shot though ha ha but yeah clarkson and anyone else can say what they want the limit to freedom of speech comes when u are deliberatly using it to attack a person or a race of people like hitler did to the jews or what the bnp does to black people how the bnp hasnt been banned i dont know ukip is a much better party without the racist aspect and did u know clarksons neighbour is david cameron so he must be ok away from politics
@shredmaster100 lol i no they knew each other but i didnt no they were neighbors, and yer if u use the freedom of speech like hitler then that is to far haha.
im unemployed and my dad is in a union. if i saw a public worker striking i wud say they r selfish as i have been turned down for every job & would gladly do 1 of their well paid (?) jobs. also an old skl friend of mine who is the armed forces didnt strike as he thought it was shit lol shows the support they have haha.
i cant get a job either at the moment not worked for 4 months now and applied for 100 jobs but not heard anything the funny thing about the unions is when they had the general strike i went past my local college and the banners were there but no strikers i think they were on strike from the strike ha ha and in my opinion they are all just playing politics and the people they should be blaming are the last labour government they caused the mess yet the unions support them
@shredmaster100 true my tutor keeps asking us if we r striking whenever there is a student strike happening i am beginning to think he doesn't want to teach some days but that is a Uni-type college I go to though haha
Clarkson is hilarious, who cares what the BBC thinks or anyone else for that matter, it was not a serious comment, it was Clarkson at his best. He should do some stand up comedy he's so funny. Anyone who took offense to his remarks is probably some left wing liberal nut case who can't understand a joke when it hits them in the face.
BBC should make a new warning text before shows " This program may contain remarks made on a serious subject but with no seriousness intended. This may also be known as irony or sarcasm. Parental guidance is advised "
Honestly, what ever happened to freedom of speech? All these people complaining and saying he should be sacked are a spit in the face to freedom of speech and expression.
Do people not get it? Part of the joke was about the BBC, not the strike. He stated afterwards that they were two different opinions, not his, and if he himself is in the public sector, the cuts will effect him! Wake up guys.
Who on earth is idiot enough to take this thing seriously? I mean , not a wise thing to say, but it's just exaggarated satire. Stupid, but not even mean. Half the coutry says things like this at home every day. Morons who are outraged should be SHOT!
bbc - 'THE' level - look what this dreary gay wears, whatkid of sweater is that and look at her looking like stupid girl, what's that application on her stripy shirt haha
At the end of the day, suicide is selfish! unless there is a real real reason, then those people dont jump infront of trains or slowly slit there wrist's..they just sit at home moaning about shit like this untill I come rip their spine out their ass
He is joking.. If you watch Top Gear, all 3 presenters regularly make jokes like this and use hyperbole for entertainment. I think everyone is overreacting
oh everyone lighten up, Its Jeremy Clarkson were talking about! He is known for his edgy comments and sarcasm...it was obviously for a laugh and if I heard correctly people did laugh in the he background and I could see that the presenters were too, I found it quite funny too if i'm honest, its just a bit of humour...Your not that stupid that he is actually going to take everyone on strike at shoot them, IT WAS A JOKE! get over it...
Clarkson is a clown...Unfortunatly there is a huge amount of sheep...er..sorry people, who think he is GOD's gift to the planet? Have you seen the people on his show? nurse...nurse..nurse..help me..
what dose jeremy clarkson know about working for a living he test drives nice cars, he gets paid millions a year, he gose all over the world filming top gear and gets blow by every bitch working on top gear he knows as much about working for a living as he know about being faithful to his wife
@joet141 i think the joke was funny i never had a problem with the joke my problem with it is he says he has to work for a living and everybody know that he dose'nt i work hard 60 hours a week if he worked hard 60 hours a month i would be very shocked
I cant believe the reaction to this, i can usually say with pride that Britain has one of the least sensitive and best sense of humours- and i can tell people from other countries to lighten up. But why is this getting complaints when there is much worse things being said by the awesome Frankie Boyle and the genius Jimmy Carr. Its CLEARLY sarcasm- but if it could happen to JonathanRoss we can worry about it happening to Clarkson. There can't be humour without someone being offended-just move on.
Jeremy Clarkson can only be described as a brilliant idiot. He wouldn't be such an idol if he wasnt so fantasticly clever and witty, but such a clot! He is such a hero of mine. I think the people who are wrapped up in bubble wrap since birth should be shot! who gives a flying fuck what this man jokes about? Without comedy and being able to laugh at one another would make us animals, or Germans!
Your predjuduce comment at the end their is the exact kind of opinion a clarkson worshipper would have. I know a lot of nice, and funny german people, and I love british humour; big fan of gervais, charlie brooker, peep show, brass eye ect.
People who think Clarkson is great seem to quite often be borderline racist, or at least classist.
@mrjoecool People who think Clarkson is great seem to quite often be borderline racist? why? cant ppl have a bit of fun? why are ppl so up tight ITS A JOKE GET OVER IT. what happend to free speech? if he think that they are wrong then up to him? and to say they should be shot that is a joke but that is all. and i found it funny. so did millians of other ppl so why are u and every one els so up tight?
I can guarantee you that we are heading towards a time now where we can not only not state our opinions but we will also be living in a place where you can't state your opinion about other peoples opinions, make fake opinions or have a completely monotone opinion on anything to do with anything and you certainly won't be able to have an opinion about a group of people or people that define themselves as a group.
I guess we shouldn't say anything to each other at all then.
Why everyone loves Clarkson is beyond me, he has done nothing brilliant other than cause a storm with the press about twice a year and always comes across as an outrage-seeking knobend who could possibly be diagnosed as having an attention deficit disorder. These comments were obviously sarcasm but even with this in mind I, and hopefully the majority of British public, still think this man is an idiot.
This is the closest video on youtube Ive seen to the truth, I'm sick ofseeing other sound bites of just the end bit that was clearly a joke. He was joking by pretending to make the other "extreme" view. If everyone would stop jumping on the band wagon and took the time to look at all the facts then there probably wouldnt be any complaints...then again if people did that there never would have been strikes so.....
The part about having them shot was sarcasm I reckon which makes perfect sense after clarkson saying oh no wait this is the bbc so "we have to be balanced". He used satire to comment for and against the strikes. Whoever is offended or thinks that makes Clarkson a prick should simply think again. Is that right or am I going crazy?
@TheLogicalKey well, yeah, the trouble with modern society is that things are being taken too seriously and litteraly. in the modern hipocratic world you are not allowed to have sense of humor whatsoever because 'it is in colision with political corectness' what an awful term
People care too much about other peoples feelings. It was a joke, and fine, people have the right to be offended, but they don't really have the right to say people can't say things because it offends them. Grow a pair and laugh at things.
I think the cheapy chappie went too far there, it reminded me of Tarby's "Argo" 'pregnant Malvinas/Falklands sheep' joke in front of the her Maj' the Q that time at the Palladium!
Also they cant sack jeremy from top gear as he owns the show and considering top gear is one of bbc's most viewed, no way in hell are they stupid enough to drop top gear altogether
Lol freedom of speech therefore fuck all can happen and to the people who have a problem with this video can get their dick out of their ass and lighten up!!
If you take offence to this you need to be shot. Engage brains for a change.

Yes, he has the rich upper class persona but apparently this doesn't bother the majority of people. It's unlikely that he doesn't know anyone in the public sector, he was probably mocking the question; if he actually believed everything he said then I would agree with you but I don't think that's the case.

@Thesilverpox Who said he was trying to be satirical or ironic? He simply took the opinion of the majority of the people, put his controversial remark on the end of it to boil the blood of public sector workers and got over 21,000 complaints. It obviously worked on his end anyway. Job well done Clarkson. :)

@MrSimo552 let me try address your idiotic rant one point at a time;
"Who said he was trying to be satirical or ironic?" Not me, in fact I said the opposite, and that was the problem. Maybe you should try reading comments more carefully before posting your silly little replies.
"He simply took the opinion of the majority of people..." How exactly do you know this is the opinion of the majority of people. You don't of course, so we can discount that as more bollox on your part.

i always wonder: who exactly complains about these things? When Clarkson, Ross and the like, people who are, let us not forget, primarily entertainers, say "outrageous" things, what sort of twat sits at home, ferments and thinks they need to set them straight? We, in the rest of the world, like the UK for its sense of humour. Without that, the only other thing we could like you for would be Marmite. and that's a gamble.

People who think Jeremy Clarkson should be sacked for doing his job (aka getting paid to give his and the BBCs opinion in the most prominent way possible) should be shot, they should be taken out and executed in front of their families. . .go on OFCOM, investigate that. Stop wasting everyones time. Jeremy Clarkson is loved world wide for doing exactly what he does here, saying what 90% of people are thinking. People should just grow up and learn to take a joke.

Jeremy Clarkson today caused further outrage with his “Good Morning” comment trigging further complaints to Offcom. The Union of Shift Workers said “ Good Morning is just a provocative comment aimed at getting cheap laughs from shift workers who have to work at night and sleep in the day ”. Clarkson’s comments also triggered uproar in Vietnam with the Vietnamese ambassador saying “ Mr Clarkson comments is an obvious reference to “Good Morning Vietnam” and is a making a racial slur

I have the right to say public sector unions r t*ats (no offense ment) in the same way unions have the right to strike. wether the comments were offensive or not is beside the point IT WAS HIS OPINION!

@shredmaster100 thanks for the making the comment b4 me lol
we do have the right to free speech as defined by article 10 of the EU charter of Human rights "Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions" all he made was an opinion, as is every1 else on this site
The public sector & the unions have the right to strike and form a union and no1 can complain
THESE R THE BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS OF U, ME AND ANY OTHER PERSON LIVING IN THE UK

i still think the strikers should be shot though ha ha but yeah clarkson and anyone else can say what they want the limit to freedom of speech comes when u are deliberatly using it to attack a person or a race of people like hitler did to the jews or what the bnp does to black people how the bnp hasnt been banned i dont know ukip is a much better party without the racist aspect and did u know clarksons neighbour is david cameron so he must be ok away from politics

im unemployed and my dad is in a union. if i saw a public worker striking i wud say they r selfish as i have been turned down for every job & would gladly do 1 of their well paid (?) jobs. also an old skl friend of mine who is the armed forces didnt strike as he thought it was shit lol shows the support they have haha.

i cant get a job either at the moment not worked for 4 months now and applied for 100 jobs but not heard anything the funny thing about the unions is when they had the general strike i went past my local college and the banners were there but no strikers i think they were on strike from the strike ha ha and in my opinion they are all just playing politics and the people they should be blaming are the last labour government they caused the mess yet the unions support them

Clarkson is hilarious, who cares what the BBC thinks or anyone else for that matter, it was not a serious comment, it was Clarkson at his best. He should do some stand up comedy he's so funny.

I cant believe the reaction to this, i can usually say with pride that Britain has one of the least sensitive and best sense of humours- and i can tell people from other countries to lighten up. But why is this getting complaints when there is much worse things being said by the awesome Frankie Boyle and the genius Jimmy Carr. Its CLEARLY sarcasm- but if it could happen to JonathanRoss we can worry about it happening to Clarkson. There can't be humour without someone being offended-just move on.

Jeremy Clarkson can only be described as a brilliant idiot. He wouldn't be such an idol if he wasnt so fantasticly clever and witty, but such a clot! He is such a hero of mine.
