Clarkson........again

Post by Bruv »

Jeremy Clarkson has strongly denied allegations he used the N-word in previously unbroadcast footage from the BBC's Top Gear programme

How un-newsworthy can you get ?

He is trouble for something he might have said, but which wasn't broadcast.

Next................brain probes , for what he might think?

Next................brain probes , for what he might think? Sounds to me as If there has been some plot by the BBC to get rid of him for some time. Now, I'm not suggesting that Clarkey Is similar In any other way to Savile other than maybe a really uncomfortable feeling In the BBC now at the very top earners and the power they hold on programme makers. Is Is that a ridiculous theory ?

Yes. They wouldn't let him on primetime evening TV......live.................or maybe they would?

He and his program is one of the biggest money spinners on BBC for worldwide sales, him and the mix of the three are crucial I reckon.

He Is a bit of a liability, gobshyte for live TV. I can understand the caution but then having said that, I've heard far worse on Alan Carr's Chatty Man.

What I meant was... Savile was BBC tope earner and biggest money spinner and look at the problems, the compensation and the shame he brought on the BBC. I just wondered If they were getting twitchy.

So why Is he on a final warning for something he didn't say and no-one heard him say ?

It's not so much the bbc I think as the very powerful lobby that wants to see the bbc privatised. Top gear is a big money spinner for them, clarkson owns the company that makes the programmes if the bbc got rid of him he would just make the programmes for someone else and the bb have lost an important income stream. People complain about it who don't watch it.

Personally I can't abide the Tosser. Top Gear Is not watched In my house under any circumstances. But I recognise a witch hunt when I see one.
