They have given him an ultimatum "1 more mess up and he is sacked" and he said in his paper column that he doesnt think he can work with a gun being pointed at his head watching every move etc.

Its just ridiculous. Well, they've always said Top Gear has to end sometime. This could be the lead up to it.

Well they were pressured to do something. If they wouldve just shrugged it off a giant shitstorm wouldve likely taken place. Thats what I think

Yeah but they didn't have to say "final warning, 1 more mistake and your gone" I know like you said they had to do something but it didn't have to go that over board.
Like i said Top Gear won't die, ITV the other English broadcast company will pick up Top Gear in an instance if Clarkson is sacked. Of course might have to rename it but they will give them better rights in return to having advert breaks every 15 minutes
But still aslong as i get my Top Gear i wouldn't care. They also would get a bigger budget at ITV thus would get more series maybe? Or longer seasons.

ALSO, maybe MAYBE. A Christmas SPECIAL DURING CHRISTMAS. HOLY SHIT lol xD

The lorry driver ones made me lol so hard. Oh god that was hilarious. Back when that series was on i was just finishing up doing a few months at my Uncles lorry firm. How right those stereotypes where (minus the killing) all drivers in England know why "PRESTON" (a city) is the best place to "stop over" in the business ^_^

I think the most frustrating thing about this whole thing is that he has specifically said in the past that all the tabloids are out to discredit him and will attack anything he says that is remotely controversial. Now they find an old outtake of him trying to avoid saying a word from an old nursery rhyme and they try and use that to get him fired. Because of the nature of the public only reading headlines rather than actually learning what actually happened and context, we are at the place we are. It's really sad. Doubly so because in any other case, people would ignore the original allegations because they know that the paper that published the original piece is a slimy tabloid.

The paper he used to work for started the whole thing, so it wouldn't shock me. This is exactly the kind of thing he would try and start fake outrage over.

Country is a joke, BBC is a joke. I hope to god he leaves BBC quickly and takes Top Gear to ITV just like Johnathon Ross did with his chat show which is now 100x better as he can be himself.

Clarkson is one of the funniest people on TV if people don't get his humor that is fine but when they start branding him racist for sly remarks here and there its very stupid.
Im pretty sure 90% of the white world has used the N word before and not meant it violently. Same goes here he used it by accident because he was doing "Eeny Meeny Miny Mo catch a...." and it just naturally rhymes with that ;_;

I visited London in Feb and realised that the term Asian pretty much encompasses anyone east of Turkey who isn't white. This surprised me and i think it's completely retarded, has this always been the case in the UK?

This unusual perspective on race is the reason why some Indian lady who i do not consider to be an Asian can feign offence to the term 'slope' and try to cash in with a frivolous lawsuit.

I can't comment to this without completely derailing the thread i can't even write things i want to without going off in the wrong direction LOL.
Stupid me :D

All in all, England is a joke for claiming and trying to be morally right because that 1 person complained ;_;

Even if we agree to classify people who are genetically caucasians (but brown) as Asians, her being personally offended is still absurd to me as slope is a derogatory term generally directed at people of Chinese or Vietnamese origin.

LMAO
Oh god, the road that will never be completed xD
Burma looks a nice place visually but i guess it must be pretty weird to live in. Like going back in time kind of feel.
Like when i went to Cuba and everyone is driving American cars from the 50s and 60s lol. Just clouds of black smog everywhere haha.

Ok. Here's my new theory: It was Fifth Gear. Think about it. They started by burning down Top Gear's warehouse some years ago, thinking that was enough to stop them. And now they "leaked" a video where Jezza nearly said a bad word. But how did they do all this you might ask? Wouldn't they need someone on the inside to know where Top Gear stores all their stuff and to gain access to the video? Why its Jeremy Clarkson himself of course! He wants badly to be hired by the Fifth Gear crew, and knows the only way he can leave his contract is by getting fired!

It all makes complete sense. Don't believe me? Here's a photo of Jeremy Clarkson and Tiff Nidell. Is that a map they're holding? Why yes it is:
[image loading]

Tell me Jeremy doesn't look guilty in that picture?

I think that should answer all of your questions.

And I still didn't manage to make it more ridiculous than the actual real story itself..
