Bring Back Clarkson petition now at 697,898 supporters…

Where’s the petition to get shot of him ?

You need to read the story, not just the headline.

When he talks about “British” people, he doesn’t say they have to be “White”. Which is what many people
assume he means.

Results of mock election held at a Sudbury School.:

UKIP ——— 272 votes (23%)
Conservative – 252 votes (22%)
Labour ——- 247 votes (21%)
Lib Dem —— 246 votes (21%)
Green ——– 151 votes (13%)

The council scrapping the airshows a couple of years ago, just didn’t want anyone else taking over.
The organisers don’t really seem to have thought things out.

And I am just bewildered that anyone can form any linkage or connection between the Clarkson affair and Savile’s crimes..

Which is why I wasn’t.

He is also guilty of more than making a few remarks. On the last occasion he was given a final warning.

Since when was UKIP popular with younger voters? Not at this Northern latitude, and you
cannot blame it all on whining Scots either as all the students up here in Edinburgh are English anyway. :stupid:

Students at Suffolk school grill parliamentary candidates during special debate

Students at Thomas Gainsborough School in Sudbury have been posing questions to a panel of parliamentary
candidates from the five main political parties (Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrats, Green and UKIP).

There was an interesting result when they cast their votes. A narrow win for the UKIP candidate.
The same UKIP which only older people vote for

Well why make such an odious and simplistic comparison because by doing so you weaken your point.

If Clarkson was found to be a sexual abuser and serial paedophile are you seriously implying his job would be safe? Come on Alan!

I think you are missing the point I was endeavouring to make Charlie.
If it had been a junior member of the Top Gear production Team who had hit the producer (if that’s what actually happened),
they would have no doubt been instantly dismissed. Possibly facing police action for assault.
Clarkson is (for reasons I don’t understand) a money making machine for the BBC, so sacking him would be a last resort.
They need him, even though he is a repeat offender.

Savile was for many years an icon at the BBC, and raised a lot of money for charity. Which is one of the reasons the BBC and
others chose to ignore the allegations against him, which had been made for many years. He had power within the organization.

I was expecting that.

No not making a comparison. Just stating that money talks. It always has and always will.
